The 1/4 mile is the destroyer of dyno babies

I totally agree with - e.t. and mph do not lie. But I don't think there is much to manipulate with the dynojet. It's a pretty simple device from a technology standpoint. I am going to ask the guys at Dynojet. How much have you seen it vary? Are you sure this couldn't be related to weather conditions or maybe air flow through the shop, etc.?

well if you look at the corrected vs non corrected numbers you see the changes.

I alway use the SAE numbers, and Ill be going to the PMT dyno on dyno day soon, so we will see how that reads now.

But the same car that dynoed 405 at PMT dynoed in teh mid 380's at mcnews

Welcome aboard Rob.
Yeah, I am curious about the dynojet thing too. You may be on to something about set up. We have a dynojet here, and we are using a couple of the same vehicles as mules to run on the dyno and they don't vary. It's always a good idea to check your dyno regularly to see if there is a change, and when all things are equal, ours has not changed.
I would like to think that we take very good care of our dynojet dyno, and maybe that is another reason that you see a difference at other testing places.

Interesting, so you're saying they are both being read in SAE, or that the different is uncorrected?

Those were SAE if I recall, I never use uncorrected, no accounting for the air quality with that.
