No Such Luck said:Thats interesting. Tuning at the track imo, is one of the best ways to lock down a solid tune. Is there any reason why someone would tune on a No Load Bearing Dyno vs. a Load Bearing Dyno?
Well the car was tuned @ Advanced Engine Developement in San Jose (formerly the shop owned by Jeff S) When Jeff was owner, he was doing almost 100% tuning on blower cars (Whipple/KB/etc.) which don't require a load bearing dyno like turbo cars do... So I'm pretty sure that is the main reason why their shop uses one as opposed to the other. Since they tune through the MAF, you can keep track of the #'s constistantly either way, but when it comes to reading boost and power acurately ona turbo car, thats it's big down side... I'm sure it also has something to do with the fact that a Load bearing dyno costs almost 20k more than a regular inertia dyno... so if ya don't need it... why pay the premium for it?
