This is nothing new, but I'm confused also.
Doesn't the mustang dyno measure based upon how quickly it can accelerate the rollers? (I suppose that would be inertia based - duh).
How does a load based dyno work. Does it measure how much it can resist the wheels? If so, wouldn't a heavier wheel, brake rotor affect this also?
I have heard the same issues quoted with HKS's dyno.

Mustang dynos measure the actual amount of torque applied to the rollers by measuring the resistance of the extreme large electric motor attached to them. Inertia-based dynos measue how fast the car turns a heavy drum.
