Whats the best Dyno?

I am planning on putting my C63 on a dyno. Is there a concensus on the forum about what is the best/most accurate dyno to use?

Also, what do we set the car at (I think there is a dyno mode) to do dyno runs...Thanks for the input.

i wanted to ask this same exact question a couple days ago. i'm getting the programmer from eurocharged whenever they ship it out so i want to be able to take it to a dyno and do a before/after, but i have absolutely no idea what to say to them and what to ask for.

Dynojet with SAE corrected results typically most consistent and comparable on this forum.

Mustang Dyno is the most accurate IMHO.

However all of them are just tuning tools. Do your baseline and tuning on the same Dyno at the same location on similar days to analyze gains.

Dyno Maha would be a very good choice, but you might not find one near where you live

In the end, I don't think it matters what dyno you use, as long as you use the same dyno before and after mods. It is also best to dyno under similar temps/humidity and so forth in order to get correct readings. That is my 2 cents...
