Dyno Options
Im going on the dyno friday to get my baseline hp before I do the turbo. They asked if I want to do the driveability or horsepower pull. I know the horsepower pull really puts a load on the drivetrain, and the driveability is free rollers that also does a/f and stuff. What do you guys usually use when at the dyno?

In that case I would just ask them what method would be most similar to a dynojet, so that you can get comparable numbers. When it comes to tuning you want to do full load, but for comparison purposes Iwould use a dynojet or whatever method is closest.

The most important thing is to use the same type of dyno, or preferably the same dyno. Comparing dyno results against another maxima half way across the country with a different set up on a different dyno is kind retarded. A dyno should be used to compare your car against your car.
When people bring up dyno's between different cars I always think of Nealoc187's 180whp dyno.....and that he ran a 13.4 @102. Then there are guys putting down 200whp NA and running low 14's.

True, however when the HP levels get up higher, the differences between dynos become less of a factor. 10hp discrepancies on 200hp cars are a bigger deal than 10hp differences o 400hp cars (percentage-wise). BTW it was 185hp not 180 lol.
