I would like to help to explain that inertia dynamometers are very hard to manipulate the power and torque curve. Each dynojet dyno has a known drum mass. The mass of the drums are installed in the software and are locked out. If you have a dynojet with a Eddy current brake, you can change the calibration of the string gauge. Those types of dynamometers can be altered. I like the inertia dynos the best for doing two cycles R and D
If you do not believe someone’s dyno results, ask them to display the correction factor. In Michigan at 700 foot elevation; my correction factor is mostly 1.01 to 1.03. If I was 5000 foot high in a mountain then the correction might be 1.2
If someone’s correction factor is 2.0, then you can point out the misleading power numbers. I posted a dyno curve that has the temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. At the end it shows the correction factor. I hope this info is useful to help determine true power from misleading.
Thanks
