dynojet vs. mustang dynamometers

Have the opportunity to get my car dyno'd on a mustang dyno (they are here in town) but am told that their dyno supposedly has lower but more accurate results than dynojet. My only other dyno was with dynojet. So my question is, would it be worth it to dyno with mustang? Not sure how I would interpret the results?

up here locally all we have is the mustang and I was told other customers (mostly local race teams) have mentioned that the mustang puts out slightly lower #s compared to dynojet.

nothing to worry about. just keep going to the same place to gauge your gains.

Thanks. The guy at Mustang says that dynojets are 15% higher than their numbers so he says just to multiply by 1.15. Not sure if this is true in all cases. I actually just wanted to dyno my car one last time because I am done modding and want to see where she sits.

Alot of the reason Mustangs aren't accurate is because they need true vehicle weight to work. Make sure you give them your vehicle weight + gas + driver or they'll just use the book value which is usually off.

Doubt the variance is 15% in general, maybe in some extreme cases. Otherwise according to my last dyno I have 218hp and 213lb/ft of torque.
