hey guys, i was thinking, on a dyno, would weight matter, say you could take a few things outta ur boot that are heavy, would u perhaps getter a better dyno reading ? or is weight only a factor on the street for acceleration?
i was wondering if weight in the boot can alter ur power reading on a dyno?? - Grechie

Tyre deflection does make a difference..As when its tied down hard it'll make less than when it rides up on rollers.. Due to tyre dfflection but with a few extra Lbs in tyres would fix this...The weight if anything would give you better grip on roller..

If anything, it may you a slightly better reading to have weight in the boot.
Then again, if it's strapped down properly, you shouldn't lose any traction anyway.

Traction on a dyno ,should not be a problem for any car under say 220kw and IMO ,and I would love a dyno person to confirm or deny that you would get a couple of kw gain with an empty boot.

If the car is tied down correct it will not make any difference.
