Heck, I'm just a one lone guy and I buy a dyno time to basically test almost ever mod I make to my cars... And while my test are not 100% scientific they give me very good idea what vendors live up to the claims and which ones don't even come close!

I then compare dyno results with track results.. and yes, i make notes on the weather and then calculate DA, etc....
That is why it take Flowmaster so long to come out with systems compared to other companys. If they don't like the sound/HP gain they will build a new muffler for that car, Mustang, GTO, Corvette and now a special muffler was built for the V8 and V6. And they don't use a butt-dyno ha ha.
