Whats the "poor mans dyno"

I have heard this term a couple of time but have no idea what it means. Has something to do with onramp I think.

I haven't heard that term but if it involves an on-ramp, it sounds like a "butt" dyno to me.

it could be a g-tech (although, they arent THAT cheap)

or its that kid that made this dyno in his bacvkyard.

it was a bighole in his yard with an old rearaxle with wheels, he placed the rearwheels of his car on the dyno-wheels.

it was a scary sight, i tell ya

Ive heard it refer to:

dragstrip slips
G tech numbers
stopwatch times
and butt dyno, aka seat of the pants feel.




really it depends who you're talking to.
