The title says "Mustang dyno load = street load?" not "Mustang dyno = every single street experience"

That is a ridiculous statement. I don't think any real tuner and dyno operator is saying that it totally simulates the street with the dangers, bad road surfaces, etc. That is one of the reasons we tune on the dyno and not on the street 100%. It's a much safer environment and my data logs show that it is pretty darn close in simulating street load.

Everytime I hear somebody say a dyno is just a number or a measurement tool, I know those people don't tune on proper dynos much, if ever.

A load bearing dyno, that is properly set-up, is not a measurement or number machine only, it is a tuning device.

The mustang can even simulate road grade percentage, you can also ramp it up on the fly, so it's not just for simulating flat roads either.

It's not a holodeck, so no, it cannot throw drunk drivers and deer and rain at the car while using it. Thank god.

Lol

 

Bryan,

When is GST getting their Holodeck Dyno? I want to see how fast my car is with sleet and freezing rain

 

If I invent the Holodeck Dyno, I wonder if that violates my non-compete agreement with Mustang??

 

No I think that would mean you work for Microsoft at that point Tim. lol

 

Tim, wait till I get my Mustang Dyno before you go anywhere. I'm still looking for a place.

 

Tim I do believe you sold us our dyno? Am I right or just making things up?

that's why I think street tune is better than dyno, dyno is just simulating the real world condition, am I wrong?

 

I think one of the main key points in your statements. Not every mustang dyno is setup the same as the next.

 

Personally I'd like use the Holodeck Dyno to dyno on the moon - vacuum and all...

Yes indeed.

 

Anyone who has used a dynapack knows that the load can easily be changed with the ramp feature. If you know what you are doing you can mimic the road easily.

 

Shiv is the only one who owns a moon dyno. Correct?

 

While it appears that the dyno load mimics the street load you put on the car, it does not account for going up hills or down hills or account for different wind conditions etc. Besides, load on the motor changes in each gear. Tuning in 4th gear loads the motor more than tuning in 3rd gear etc....

We all know that the tuning is done in one gear and verified at the end in each gear. There are not different maps for each gear. Knowing this, its easy to see you dont need the EXACT load the car will see on the street to tune a car correctly.

Lets also keep in mind that tuning in a static state is going to be different than tuning in a dynamic state. Air flow through the IC, the engine bay, etc is going to affect the tune. Any tuning you do on the dyno needs to be confirmed on the street. Once accustomed to the differences from dyno to street, a good tuner can get the tune spot on.

To say that you can tune better on an MD dyno than any other is just not true.
