    It just applies a load dependant on weight. The weight is also used for simulated quarter mile runs.
    Weight will effect hp, but by VERY little.... maybe a couple hp.

    Being that I own a Mustang dyno the lbs is put in to so that the dyno can properly simulate the weight of the car for its real world tests. To properly understand the Mustang go to www.mustangdyne.com and then go to recent articles and read the top one this will explain the differance.

    From the testing i've done, there was a 2 hp difference between dynoing the car in 3rd or 4th on toma's md250.... not 15..
