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.
