Is a mobile Dynojet accuate?
I am wanting to have a dyno run on my stock 99 Vert before I start adding modifications. I want as accurate a baseline as possible.
Does anyone have expierence with ths mobile Dynojet?
My local tuner shop told me that they contract a person that has one of these for all their dyno needs.

There is no right answer to your question, it mostly depends on your goals. If you are looking for a dyno queen and peak HP, its fine. If you only use that dyno and the same operator runs it all the time, thats fine, if you want to optimize the tune and street manners of your vette, then you would have to have to run a scan log in addition to the dyno to tune the car.
The most important is to use the same dyno, tuner and o perator when measuring gains or losses.
In Detroit many of the powertrain OEMs use dyno's in design and development work. They make a pass, install the change or new product and make a pass9 and measure the results. Consistency is the key.
What would be more important is the tuning capability of the tuner/dyno operator. Remember many a dyno queen whens with numbers but loses at the track. Often drivabilty issues are more important like accel/decel/idle/coasting and hp under the curve.

The mobile Dyno Jet is the exact same dyno as the inground units, the only difference is it's mounted in a trailer instead of concrete. Same software, 8,800lb rollers, etc etc.
The numbers are exactly the same.

Well, I went to have my 99 Vert dyno'ed this afternoon. What a dissappointment! 
Here is my graph:
Looks like I have a lot of work to do! I will be installing AR headers, hi-flow cats, and a Varaam B2 intake in the next week. I will get another dyno after that. Then, I will get a tune, and a third dyno.
