Hmm.
$1,500 actually isn't all that bad, especially since it seems like it'd be relative easy to move between cars. Factor in the vehicle's service brakes, and assuming you have a long, empty stretch of road and a co-driver, you have a brake (load-bearing) dyno.

Fairly flat with a little wind will skew the numbers by no more than about 5hp/tq. I know I know, where then do you "draw the line", but IMO it gets you real close. At least close enough to help you tune quite a bit. I've been tinkering with these programs on Subarus/Evos for years now, and they're insanely accurate. Assuming you don't fudge the numbers or dyno off a cliff with 100mph tailwinds or something.
