Default Dynoed on a Dynacom

Dynacom has been on the European continent and Australia for 30 years.

My 2008 LS3 has Zoomers Exhaust, a Predator 91 octane canned tune and A Vararam CAI which everyone knows is worth nothing at any speed.

The car tested at 416 HP and 429 ft lbs of torque.

The dyno also calculates several important drag racing data points.

0 to 60 3.26
0 to 100 9.05
60' 1.74
1/8 8.6 at 97.5 mph
1/4 13.66 at 123 mph

1/4 mile calculation doesn't make sense. 13.66 is way to slow and 123 mph on a car with no real mods would take the most amazing weather and a slightly downhill track.

I picked up .3 tenths with my vararam

They're based in Dallas, most of the ones I've seen read higher than other brand dynos

They are based out of Canada but have a "shop" in Ft Worth. I bought one of thier dyno's a few years ago.
I never used the drag racing data unless I used the optical sensor. If you measure RPM off the drum you will get bad results on the drag racing data. Most operators measure off the drum because it's quick and easy as the optical is a pain in the butt without a lift (which I had).
My numbers were within +/-3% of a friend of mines Dynojet 248x. We both have Eddy Brakes and tested with the same set of cars on and off the brake.
They make a good dyno but thier customer support and timeframe on builds leaves alot to be desired. I'm surprised they still exist to be honest.

Don't blame the dyno for jacked up numbers, blame the operator. 99% of the time it's the way they tested it.

I think you'd meant to say "worth nothing without any speed" or perhaps "worth nothing while standing still"?
Because, umm, it certainly is worth something once at speed.

There is such a heated thread in the general area I thought that I would avoid that argument. You know and I know they make power at speed.
