Why is a Dynopak dyno more accurate for autos?

I would think it is not as true of a reading because you don't have your wheels attached, which contributes to some HP loss. So the readings might be a little higher than a roller dyno, but I guess it doesn't matter. HP is all relative and for us you want to run on the same type of dyno to get results that you can compare to previous runs.

Dynojet is inertia dyno and manuals get a headstart because there's no torque conversion. It might not be the exact explanation, but should give you the idea.

Awesome... looks like we got 10. Are we going to do a prepayment thing like last time so people will be discouraged from flaking?

I'll start collecting payments this Friday. Once I have 10 payments in my Paypal, I'll call John and make final arrangements. I hope people wouldn't mind if I ask to send me $40+% for Paypal fees.
