Dyno Testing and Tuning: Chassis Dynos, Engine Dynos. Get Accurate and Useful Results
  Dyno testing can be an incredibly valuable tool when attempting to tune and enhance any performance vehicle. Unfortunately, many enthusiasts don't know how to make the most of limited—and expensive—dyno time.
Dyno Testing and Tuning is the first book to explain the proper testing procedures that everyone should use to get accurate and useful results from either an engine or chassis dyno.
The book explains how a dyno works, describes what kinds of data a dyno test can produce, and then shows you how to plan a test session that will give you the results you're looking for.
You'll learn what to look for in a dyno facility, and how to troubleshoot any problems that arise. This book should be required reading for performance shop owners and dyno operators, as well as any enthusiast who wants to make use of a dyno.
