Dyno shops are notorious for producing false numbers. Dinan is one of the few aftermarket companies that puts in significant amounts of time to ensure their dyno numbers are correct. If the dyno is measuring the power by strapping down the car and driving on rollers, then the data is probably not realistic. So of course, Dinan's numbers won't match the 3 pulls for $60 dyno shop. The Dinan dyno methodology is explained here:http://www.dinancars.com/university/

The only "real" results that regular person can realistically measure is at the local dragstrip. My Stage 2 results are below and I'll say they aren't too shabby for a race weight of 4760lbs. Naturally, a 650 with Dinan will be even faster.
