It is also useful for manufacturers that build and design longtube headers, exhaust systems, camshafts, etc. If you control enough variables you can use the dyno to gauge performance and modify to optimize said performance.
What you dynoed stock at some shop is meaningless. Your car can dyno 10rwhp higher than mine bone stock and it won't mean a damn thing. All it does is show how inaccurate dynos are. If your car dynoed 390rwhp stock, it's just as fast/slow as the same Camaro that dynoed 370rwhp stock at a different shop assuming the transmission, gearing and options are equivalent. The whole "factory freak" thing is unfounded as well since dyno performance does not translate to track performance, and track performance is really what matters.

It is too often that people get caught up on the dyno numbers game. Factory freak, you say? I say, let me see your car runing and Ill tell you...
