This is true and valid. The dyno is a tool but, there are a few that can do well without the dyno. Having data acq on a car helps too! I know of many who dyno and then don't check anything and make adjustments BECAUSE they went on dyno and then their junk doesn't run the way it should. If a car isn't easy to work on (remove/install engine) then that's another reason to use a dyno.
