ibizacupra said:many moons ago.. on an infant SCN, I organised a RR (SCN 1st ever) at a local Chelt RR outfit. I invited formally a bunch of tuners (UK) to the day to show off their wares to an expectant customer base, on the same dyno same day.
Several of the tuners declined on the grounds of I quote: "rr dyno's can be run in such a way to give misleading figures etc"
Make of that what you will.
One thing from that day did become very apparent however, is that the way the cars were run, the loads were applied, the available cooling available (for SMIC's for example), all made for very different (lower) figures than expected by the majority of chipped cars.
We've seen from an earlier abortive RR event with SCN, that these RR variables, in the hands of the inexperienced, can also make a mockery of the hardware, contradicting the power figures claimed from the software they sell.
Rollers? Operator? Software? Hardware?
Dyno Lottery(TM)
double edged sword tho Jim maybe? Everything you ever sold previously which is'nt going to be proven on the dyno?
I look forward to making the trip up to your place sometime soon with my ibiza.. I am intrigued to see how the figures run on the Dynojet.

This is the reason for me giving 3 runs on a RR day- trying to show that repeatability is the one thing to strive for. We all know the effect heat has on these cars but if we cannot give repeatability how can we evaluate the gains/losses of software/hardware ?This was the reason for getting an enormous coolingfan. As i said before the real use of the dyno is for the tuner to validate product and not show the customer what he EXPECTS to see.
