Agreed. Look at what Ford did in the '60's with the comparatively primitive computerized dynos available then. To get their 427 durable enough to last 24 hours at Le Mans (and beat Ferrari) they came up with a dyno program that replicated a full lap around the circuit. They could duplicate the RPM's, the shift points, rates of acceleration and deceleration, etc. They would run an engine til it blew, then redesign the weak part and try again. Without this dyno testing, they may never have won!
