Axle dyno, thoughts?
I am finally getting to getting my car on a dyno and the local shop has a axle dyno. I haven't heard anyone going to a shop with one, any thoughts on it?

I would like to own a set. They have units out there with very high hp ratings. No wheel slip is a nice thing and something I am always fighting as the power goes up. Do you know what brand and model they are?
I would treat it just like any other dyno and not get fixated on the before numbers. It is all about improvements from before to after mods.

It's purely a tuning tool. Like was said, only go off of before and after numbers and use the same one. Like a mustang dyno your numbers are limited to the inputs by the dyno operator.

My local shop has a Dynapack and it is a lot better than a regular rolling your tires on a barrel dyno. Specifically for safety reasons, the wheel spin issues that the above poster wrote about and that it takes up a lot less square footage of shop space.
I consider it perfectly fine. As stated by others...only pay attention to before and after HP/TQ changes...not to the specific number. Well unless the number is wildly off from what it should be like it only showing 100 hp on a 400 hp motor.

It's a better tool all around, allows you to do load tuning, instead of just dyno queen numbers.. ie dynojet.

True loaded hub dynos are fantastic for tuning. You have no worries.
