Default Rolling Roads/ chasis dyno's ?????

I dont really bother with Flywheel power as its all inacurate unless its engine dyno.

But if you were only looking for Wheel power will different dyno's still differ in power results if its all atw figures?

Yes.

Many dyno's are old 1960's/1970's units that are either running very basic dials or old software.

Modern dyno's still have many ways of measuring power and can potentially all differ, though they should be similar for wheel power.
