Do Dynos Lie?

How Dynos Work and What You Need To Do To Get the Best Power Numbers PossibleOne of the most common ways of measuring a diesel truck’s horsepower and torque is running it on a chassis dynamometer, known as a dyno, for short. Perhaps the simplest type of dyno is an inertia dyno, which is a device that measures the time it takes a vehicle to spin a large set of steel rollers. Using a mathematic formula , the dyno’s computer spits out a horsepower number. Most dynos will also provide a torque number if the engine speed (rpm) is measured. Dynojet 248s are the most commonly used inertia dyno.
