Also, a 'dynamometer' is the name for the measurement device. Sort of like saying 'ruler' or 'thermometer'. Dynojet and Mustang are brand names of the devices. Those are the two common ones for what we want to do. (There are companies that manufacture chassis dynos for emissions tests, but it's not relevant here.)



Yah i just figured that out, the guy at the shop confused me because he kept on referring to the Dynamometer and the DynoJet, making it sound like the dynamometer is a brand.

Thanks Chlorine for the link it helped understanding some of the differences, i guess the weight and aerodynamics of the car are not included in the dynojet to simulate street-like conditions.
