Left Side Not Right----All mine were done on the Pack gotta watch lug bolt stretch though.

Thanks for the input!

Wow. I'd like to know the story behind that.

It would have to be a Mustangg, wouldn't it? Sometimes I feel bad for those guys.

When DIY Tune (aka Megasquirt) tuned my car, they used the type that bolts to the rear hubs. That was the first time I had seen that in person. Pretty interesting.

There are videos on YouTube of all kinds of Dyno failures!

Don't watch You Tube too much, you'll be afraid to do anything.

"Tongue in cheek here"......Yeah I'm just trying to sort through all and find one that I can participate in.

Also trying to figure how big a daredevil i want to be while I get a few hp/tq numbers.

Thought yawl pick up on mustang and the horse on horse contact!

I'm not into chasing a number. My objective with a Dyno is to tune each individual setup to obtain the best performance possible. Tuning on a hub Dyno is by far the best and safest way to tune fuel and spark. With total hydraulic control on a hub Dyno, you can set a specific rpm and it will hold that rpm from idle to WOT. Makes populating VE tables far more accurate, much faster and much safer.. changes can be made in real time and yo can see the effect immediately to torque and HP.

Sounds like a tuner's dream!

Realtime tuning is dependant on the software, not the dyno.


the best tuning is done in realtime, outside of a garage. A fan in front of a car doesnt come close to representing road aero influence.


If you must tune in a garage, engine dyno is the way to go, at least to get close, then unleash that beast and finish the cal under real world conditions. But as with anything, certain allowances must be made for the typical customer.

I would agree w Paul here. Real time tuning means duplicating as much as possible the typical driving conditions the car is likely to encounter. Also, how the owner drives the car. That involves stop and go, varying traffic conditions, differing ambient temps, coolant temps, and MAT.
