I understand a dyno is used to tune the engine on a controlled environment , and that it won't show some of the engine attributes like acceleration, driveability etc... But it sure helps
Btw no need for aggressiveness I have no idea what asking for dyno numbers has anything to do with anybody getting beat or beating themselves.
Tell me if dynos don't tell all why would you own 3

The dyno has its place. The issue is most people have no idea how to read, or comprehend a dyno plot. When I hand a graph to someone and I watch their eyes go straight to peak power output, I shake my head and generally become disgusted immediately.
When my wife was Land Speed Racing her 996 the dyno kept her away from 3 records on two different occasions. I made changes to the car that I knew made it faster from the way it drove, and responded. The car LOST 6 HP at peak with these settings, but she smashed all those records in one weekend after that was done. They all still stand today.
I make more average power as an overall goal. Its really easy to make peak numbers, but increasing power at every RPM point is not a simple task.
Retaining drivability, longevity, reliability, and fuel economy while making more power is the big challenge. Rick will find that his MPG has increased by at least 3-4 MPG as long as he can keep his foot out of it, I have had some of these increase more than that.
