You do realize that you are simply adding another issue/inconsistency with ANY dyno do you not
I agree 100% that dyno numbers are just that, AKA NUMBERS. The real meat and potatoes are earned at the track where HP/Torque rule.
With that being said Marcus, just what will your new trigging system prove or corect. It will simply be another change in parameters that will have to be manipulated my friend by any and all that agree with you.
Bottom line is dyno's are for seeing if your mods are going in a positive or negative direction. The numbers they generate DO NOT MEAN A THING IN THE REAL WORLD. Sorry, I just had to do that in caps as I really dislike DYNO queens/bragging rights. I have not, nor ever will agree that they are reproduceable from dyno to dyno. I might add nor do I care.
On a final note, this is why I seldom Dyno ANY of my toys IMHO. Show me a time slip ANYDAY over a computer snap shot

In the end, like you said, dyno's aren't used for bragging rights but more of a point of reference and a tool for tuning.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Talking with a few local guys I think the problem with DD is that it offers that torque reading from the rear wheels instead of from an actual RPM signal (I know it's not the only dyno that does that)... and especially with these TQ happy cars I honestly think it throws off the readings a lot (it usually inflates them). m
