In the US at least, Dynojets are the most widely used type of dyno by market share. For that reason I'd say Dynojets are the type most people think of when you say you've gotten a dyno reading done, rather than a Mustang, Maha or Dyno Dynamics dyno. I've even heard that Mustang dynos have a "Dynojet mode" where they try to calibrate to Dynojet numbers since that's what people want.

It's fair to say certain dynos read high or low, but IMO that's really only in comparison with a Dynojet, which has kind of become the industry standard for dynos for better or worse.

Really in the end though, dynos can all be calibrated differently so all that matters is how you do relative to your baseline (and other cars that were tested on your exact dyno). I know in the case of the Dynojet I used, most Twins averaged around 165-170 whp, but my car and another guy I know tested in the 175-177 whp range. Both of our cars were frequently tracked, so that might have helped with the break-in process.
