chassis dyno probably would not tell you what your looking for since there is no telling how much HP is being lost thru the chassis.
my advise is save your time and money on the chassis dyno for this purpose.

That's a good point but I have a question.
Wouldn't the chasis dyno still allow you to see a gain or a loss from a timing adjustment? I mean, regardless of what it is making at the crankshaft, if it is showing say 500 hp 400 ft lbs on the chasis dyno, and you advance the timing 1 or two degrees, then run it again, take a reading,then retard it and run it again..take another reading...wouldn't this allow you to find the timing that makes the most power?
Regardless if the hp numbers are bogus...as long as they are consistantly bogus...wouldn't that allow you to find the tune up?
Not arguing here...just asking.
