Does Weight affect Dyno results???
Hey,
I know wt. plays a factor in the 1/4 mile, but what about on a dyno???
If you dyno'd with a full tank vs say 1/4 tank of gas would the results be different???
Any other factors that might affcet dyno numbers?????
:cheers:

only on a mustang Dyno where you input the vehicle's total weight to get a more accurate reading :yesnod: The other way weight can affect a dyno reading is if you are making too much tq and you are spinning the living crap out of your tires :D

The only weight that would matter would be driveline weight, ie wheels and tires (rear anyways) and other rotational weight in the driveline. Other than that it is like Mike said, you may want to add weight or strap it down tighter if you are having traction problems. Good Luck :auto:
