The difference in dyno readings is not quite so simple as a calibration issue.......RPM use a Rotronics eddy-current dyno, which is quite an advanced (expensive) piece of kit that can be used for steady state and transient mapping.........UFO use a sports devices inertia based dyno (much lower cost) which really can only be used to provide a power run, whereby it calculates the time taken to accelerate a flywheel, its not possible to do steady state mapping........I honestly cant say which one is more accurate, but I'd be inclined to go with the numbers from RPM's Rotronics dyno, as this is quite an advanced piece of kit, Grice also have the same dyno, which says something

Also if you are looking to test very small power increases of say 1 or 2%, then the dyno operator should be performing correction calculations for temperature, barometric pressure and moisture content......as the dyno conditions will vary through the day......god knows if any of the kart tuners do this, but in the high levels of professional motorsport and power-train dyno testing, this is done religiously.
