Technical & Useful Info: FUEL : If my fuel system looks safe on a chassis dyno, is it safe on the track or street?
Courtesy of Justin Fore at Fore Innovations LLC:
Not necessarily. A standard inertia chassis dynomometer does not create the same load condition that a motor sees off the dyno. A vehicle usually requires 5-10% more fuel on the track (or street) compared to a inertia chassis dynomometer under the same weather conditions. Adverse weather conditions can further affect fuel requirements.
