only if you want to go to the pub and brag about it

it's about how accuratly the figures are obtained if it's just figures, the whole point of doing this is to make sure the engine is running right at the right places and to measure all the bits that need measuering to make sure they are doing what they should be doing when they shoudl be doing it

it's like asking you to carry a bag af cement up a flight of stairs, yu can carry the cement bag yes, you have lifted it yes, but going up the stairs you have a heart attack and die, if you were checked out before you strated the lift this may have been apparent and something could have been done to avoid it, and i think that's the best way to describe the use of the dyno
