Chassis Dyno opinions? Options

[RJMII]

My point and click adventures today landed me on a chassis dyno on eBay.

I've been contemplating the idea that there aren't any chassis dynos within 160 miles of where I am sitting; and that there *might* be enough people in the area that are potential customers. Oh, and if I go for a portable system that could be loaded up in a small trailer, or at the front of the trailer in front of my 914... (pipe dream here, back to the dyno)

What say ye? quality of dyno? company's reputation? Accuracy of dyno? company website http://www.dynocom.net/index.asp

Other dyno options (portable chassis)?

Yes, it is in ground.. We did the entire install ourselves when I built building #2.. That included cutting a huge hole in the floor, pouring the walls and floor of the pit and etc.. Not fun, but its done right.

I'd never do a dyno jet above ground, seems half ass, not as safe and takes away from the super fast set up time that we like so much.

Being able to apply a load to the unit much like an engine dyno is about the only benefit I saw with a dyna pac... But like I said, if I want to do that I'll rip the engine out of the car and throw it on the engine dyno.

Don't get all caught up on features, they just confuse the software and get in the way of real work.. As long as the unit can accept 0-5v analog inputs you can put most any feature you will need right in to the software, we can even log variocam operation and plot it into the graphs using an analog input.

Dyno Jet is real hard to beat all around, plus the consistency between Dyno Jet units is great... They are easy to operate as well.
