The Great Dyno Equalizer

With the wide range of power results produced by the various types of dynos, I thought I'd share a spreadsheet I snagged off a tuner site back in 2003. Is this at all relevant to the ongoing dyno debate? It sure would be nice to have some reasonable means to compare cars that have been tuned on the various types of dynos.

If you don't like this, lets hear your better idea?

The stock & baseline whp #'s will reconfigure the chart simply by inputting what you want.

Which means... if you could get a few shops to give you their average baseline runs on a stock car for each dyno, get an average and shove it all in the chart.

It would indeed be the great dyno equalizer.

Exactly! But, do you think we could actually get the shops to contribute to something that might actually create the appearance that they are working together for the common good of the EVO customer community? I'm counting on it!

I realize this would not be 100% correct methodology that would work 100% accurately 100% of the time. However, I do think it would be closer most of the time than doing nothing!

Seems pretty accurate to me. Certainly not the end-all standard, but good for reference
