Kind of a cool read. I guess to me I don't care how the inital numbers where calculated as long as some standard was set and followed. In the end comparing what one dyno reads to another isn't as important as the people who know how to use them and sticking with either one dyno or one brand of dyno when getting results for tuning improvements and part upgrades.

Exactly my point in posting this.
People always ask how the Dyno Dynamics read differently, and I finally found an article to help support the differences.
In the end, it is about changes, not what numbers you have. I like to race cars, not numbers.
I think it is very nice that the Twin Cities has so many different types of dyno's to compare from. I can only imagine what it is like in other parts of the U.S. where a dyno is a road trip away.

So where's this portable laptop based dyno? That sounds sweet!

Yeah that should be cool.
The founder of Dynojet is a brilliant man. He really knows how to market products.

So since Dynojet was basically seen as the first inertia dyno, and basically setting a standard, why other companies wouldn't just keep with that standard.

I think it was because the formula for calculating horsepower was based of an overzelous honda V-max and the actually numbers were fudged with to make the powerlevels "fit in". Page 2 on the article has some more info on that, I believe.
(maybe page 3).
The cool thing about dynojets is the repeatability for testing parts.
