Tony, I agree with your thinking.

Dynos are delta devices only, but it seems like a lot of builders get roped into the dyno wars debacle.

There was a post on my other thread about adding engine dyno results to my webpage, and a reply was made that it needs to be coupled with a chassis dyno report. However, there is no direct correlation, and with different chassis dynos even showing 10-12% differences between brands, I can't see how someone can put that constraint out there.

And....

There is no golden standard. Even on engine dynos. The only way you could even make an A to B connection would be to have both an engine dyno and chassis dyno in a facility, pop the engine off the engine dyno, stick it in the car, then put the car on the chassis dyno. And even then, the only thing you would be able to say, would be: "Here's a correlation between *my* dynos."
