I'm not sure I'm understanding your question? Any dyno will work for our cars. Are you going after glory numbers to impress people or do you want an accurate (as can be for a WHP dyno) picture of what the car's making.

A lot of people have a misconception that dynos are 100% accurate or that they can't be tricked into reading higher or lower. Depending on the parameters fed into it, the dyno can give you grossly inaccurate (but impressive looking) numbers.

The most important thing is that you pick a dyno and stick with it. Their real purpose is (or should be) to serve as a gauge to measure what mods are doing to the car. Say you dyno stock, then add some bolt ons, then a tune. A dyno (assuming you've gotten a good baseline for the car), will tell you how much power said mods have given you from when you started.

Just slip the operator an extra $20 and he can coax the dyno into saying whatever you want it to say.
