Tell me what is done differently when the dyno is used in shootout mode. Please tell me. What are they trying to achieve? Are you trying to say that figures quoted in shootout mode are somehow better or different to other modes. Should any of us not trust anyone with a different dyno that doesn't have shootout mode or vice versa?

As you may or may not know, there are MANY uncontrollable factors that can affect a cars output power.

These include things like air pressure, air density, air temperature, etc etc.

Shootout Mode is Dyno Dynamics attempt to flatten out these variables.
It will mathematically change your output power depending on such values.

In reality your car will put out more power on a 10deg day than a 40deg day.
In theory, in Shootout Mode the cars output power should be identical, regardless of air temperature.

The problem with Shootout Mode is that its VERY dependant on the dyno operator. He can EASILY fudge figures to give a higher or lower reading, ESPECIALLY if he hasn't be trained, or he is not an accredited operator (Dyno Dynamics provides training so that people learn how to use this feature properly and effectively).

At a guess Shootout Mode got a VERY bad reputation to begin with as operators had no idea how to use it properly and huge figures were coming out everywhere.
If they incorrectly mount the airtemp sensor then the readout can go up or down quite dramatically.
