The science part is right, but its a little wrong too..

I still think its a bit of a dark art as its a very fine line between power and rattle.

Having the right tools help, however sadly only very few go out and buy those tools required to tune a car correctly. One of the more expensive tools (a dyno) is usually out of reach to the common car enthusiasts, however road tuning is possible..

Dyno seems to be a much easier way to get consistent load and repeatability instead of risking other road users.
