We've spent hours with our racecar on a Mustang dyno at a local place here, but have still wound up making multiple changes once we're at the track to adjust/fix/optimize things. There's just usually not enough time to do everything at the dyno.
I agree, that the dyno has great value, the impression I get though is that they don't feel anything additional can be gained off/after the dyno. That at least from my point of view is where I cannot agree with them.
