Having spent lots of time on a dyno I'll echo what's already been said, dyno's are principally for tuning and measuring the effectiveness of changes ....... and dyno days to make extra profits. My best Mustang dyno was in my sig, dragtimes calculator says between 380 and 385 at the crank for me. You know your car is fast and making safe power. That's all that's important.

Oh, I'm not worried, not a bit. Different dyno manufactures build their machines to different specifications and no two manufactures (that I'm aware of) produce the same results as do the others.
I've heard that Mustang and DynoDynamics return "low" numbers, where a DynoJet will return higher numbers. So, for a true comparison, I'll need to get the pulls on the DynoJet.
