This prevent heat soke and give you an ptimum figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you begin modding, then the dyno becomes useful as you can perform before and after on the same dyno for comparative purposes. Also dyno comps have a bizzare way of throwing up strange figures on previously dynoed cars from other workshops...so don't hang your hat off the comp figure.
