RE: Why dyno days often disappoint...
Trying to think of a witty comeback, and failing...
Let's stick them all on a track and see what happens... (preferably a small and twisty one...!!). I'd put a tenner on me winning a B-road dash too (as long as it was a twisty B-road!). The 360 can whup the 940 on most B roads, and its nothing to do with power...I fancy my chances :) cheers James

One is an 'Engine dynamometer', this is hooked up to an engine at the crank on a test bench. The other is a 'Chassis dynamometer' which is usually rollers in a pit that you put a whole car/bike/truck on. Just had to clear that up. Later dude, Dan. |

RE: Why dyno days often disappoint...
Well yes, they both have dynos at their hearts...and maybe I've been on the US boards a little too much, but other than here I never hear a chassis dyno called anything other than a Rolling Road.
cheers James
