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.

Give the man a prize.

Firstly, in my second post I said it was just my opinion, in my third I was being sarcastic. Secondly, I never said any particular type of dyno was bad. Thirdly, that type of dyno is not the best out there so I would hardly call them an industry standard, again, that is not saying that they are at all bad.

Atmospheric compensation for one has been around for a lot longer than when Dyno Dynamics started using it in shootout mode and yes there are many more factors that effect readouts. My OPINION on why they are a joke is the fact that the dodgy operators out there, through using this system, can fudge outputs. The better dynos for one, don't allow you the same capacity for dodginess. I have and have seen this proven time and time again. The reason I have such a strong OPINION on this is because in the recent past this sought of dodginess has directly involved and effected me and the work I was doing and did for over 10 years before I got out of the trade. For what its worth both Bosch and Dynamic Test Systems have dynos that are better than Dyno Dynamics.

By the way some of YOU need to get off this 1:1 thing. I know why you would or wouldn't worry about it. Read my post properly. If Dyno Dynamics want you to run at a particular speed good on em. I never said anything about it being wrong, not ideal or otherwise. Get over it, its just 'MY OPINION'.
