Most accurate dyno??
I'm at the point where i need to get my evo tuned. About to throw on a etc ic and bushcar lower piping. Was curious which dyno ( dynojet, dynopack, mustang dyno...) would provide the most accurate numbers. Also I' located in detroit mi and trying to decide between ams or buschar for tuning... they are about the same distance. Which would you guys recommend for the best value and cost

If you really want an answer to this question, Mustang Dyno. BUT the most efficient way of knowing if a certain mod made a diff is to stick with one dyno so you can see actual gains with a reference point.

dynojet, although, its been awhile and i could be wrong. i'm pretty sure dynojet can be, or are, chassis dynos which measure actual power put to the pavement.
as for accuracy, either can be accurate because a dyno's main purpose is as a tool used for tuning, and to gauge the difference in power/torque from adding different parts, or changing varibles within the tune.
going from one type of dyno to another can be misleading becuase each reads power input differently.

its not as much the dyno as it is the operator and how it is setup and more importantly how good the tuner is.
this could turn into a HUGE flame war on a topic like this but for arguments sake dont look at the tool as much as the person whom is using it. Make your decision off of that.
We always take a car out on the street after we tune it to make sure there are no changes.....there rarely are but we still always do it.

The dyno puts a "false" simulation on the tires amongst other things, and just the environment being compared to being on the street.
Thats why I prefer a street tune, plus it's cheaper, but Dyno tunes are great as well...specially to get your numbers.

what do you mean most accurate?
most accurate for what?
every dyno is different. its just how it is. all you need to know is the difference in power you make( tuned pull- baseline).
what is weird and what always confused me is horsepower and torque are calculated by mathmatical formulas. how come every dyno calculates them different? i made a topic on that very long ago, and no one could ever answer it. no one knew

Peak numbers are bull****. For charting power, the "gain" is the only relevant number. You baseline you car, then you go back to the same dyno every time you make a change. The increase (or decrease) should be your only concern, and the only way it's accurate, is if it's from the same dyno
