one is known to read a tad higher than the other in many cases even on the same type of load cell chassis dyno.. All else being equal they each give accurate numbers. Whatever you do, just make sure that you read the SAE numbers and not the raw numbers. The SAE numbers take into account and normalize all the weather related variables and give you a true idea of what's being put down.

Just remember... dyno racing is t3h lamezor. Use the dyno to make sure that what you do nets the results it should and that it's a safe state of tune for the car. After that, the only thing that's a real measure of performance is track times. You can make all the power in the world but if you can't plant it you can't use it.
