Default Re: chassis dyno

Some chassis dynos measure torque and then calculate HP. The Dynojet measures HP directly, and uses the tach pickup to convert roller speed (which calculates mph) into rpm for torque. The Dynojet can be used for coast-down HP measurements and comparisons of the drag from different things like diff designs (e.g. 12 bolt vs. 9" ford), or lubricants.
