Default Rolling roads! comparisons/acuracy???

A post on another thread just got me thinking , has anyone been to two or more different rolling roads whilst their car has been in the same state of tune, and if so what were the results at the different RR's .

I have probably been on more rolling roads and had more runs than anyone else on ScoobyNet. I would not be surprised if I have had in excess of 400+ RR runs over the years with the Spec C.

All the rolling roads I have been on have been within an acceptable tolerance, but you should not compare one type with another in reality. Way too many variables in my view. Compare like for like and not apples with pears.

I have been on:

MAHA
Dyno Dynamics (at various places)
Dastek
Road Dyno
DynaPack
Rota Test

I have used proper dyno cells, to dyno's in free space environments.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I know what you are saying and that was prety much my answer when this statment was made on another thread "i still fail to see how people can get 350BHP out of one of these when some 20G`s only get 370/380BHP" refering to a TD05-20g, thats what the thread was about

The usefulness of ANY dyno is as much to do with the operator and environment as it is the actual RR brand.
