I bet theres more differance in the actual dyno than the variability in the car.

Dynojets and mustang dynos are two different beasts. One benefit of a mustang dyno is that it has an "adjustable" drum weight. The weight doesn't actually change, the resistance does, so that it can match the weight of the car. This ensures proper tuning.

Atleast, this is what my last tuner told me. He had a mustang dyno, all my other tunes were on regular dynojets. (this was with my ranger not my mustang)

Exactly, because the average dynojet uses a 2500lb roller, whereas a mustang dyno is the same as the car it's tuning. So, a dynojet tunes for a "2500lb" car, while a mustangdyno tunes to "real life".

OP-
Just out of curiousity, where do you attend school, and what type of program are you enrolled in?> I assume its obviously automotive related, but specifically? I always wanted to get in to electrical in the auto industry somewhere, as I have an electronics degree/background, but the money just isnt enough to justify me going back to school again.

stay far far away from the auto industry if your trying to make money. Ask me how I know. I just quit my Ford job after 3 years...
