Dyno question

So I've been reading lots about the different types of dyno's and what affects the numbers and such. I've read lots of pros/cons about the mustang vs. the dynopack dynos, I'm not trying to get into a heated arguement about what dyno is better for 'x' conditions. If I go to a tuner with a dynopack dyno will I be selling myself short? I mean I'll be getting great numbers but since those numbers don't include many variables that mustang dynos does, will my high hp/trq numbers be just a lie. Since a mustang dyno takes into account more variables (tire pressure, wheel interia, etc) does this dyno give you numbers that are more realistic to real world condtions?

A Dynopak should make for a good tune since they do load the car. How the numbers read depends upon how they adjust the correction in the software. Dynopaks aren't all that common since they require removing the wheels (a hub dyno).

It's the Dynojets that quite a few people aren't keen about because they don't offer much resistance.

Mustang dynos also apply load/resitance like an actual road does, so yes, the Mustang dyno's do offer a more real world reading of power output to the wheels.
