was thinking about getting my car dynoed in the spring ,,pro vs cons anyone??????i just dont want to pop the motor and im thinking the only wa to get an accurat reading would be to floor it all out,and at 35 yrs old i would hat to f something up

 

Scotty, Personally I think it's a good idea. The only con I can think of is the cost.

friend of a friend will do it for 75$ just worried about poping the motormr aspen who is on this forum lives in kitchener as i do an he has a guy who will give me 3 passes on the dyno

 

If it blows up on the dyno then it gives you that excuse to drop a 440 in there.

 

run it! run whatcha brung!! if you have some mileage on the motor you should be fine.. if its a fresh motor then you should be a little leery. in your other post you said there was 5k on it so thats plenty of mileage to seat the rings and break the cam in. hell racers build a fresh motor, bring it up to temp, seat the rings and break the cam in, in 20 minutes their ready to do a dyno pull.

 

As long as the motor is built right, then you have nothing to worry about. I say go for it as it will help you greatly dial in the motor.

 

i like the 440 idea ha ha but then i would need to put a 8 3/4 rear end in it,,hell i want to do that anyways,,so many things to do where to start,,ive pieced together a near mint black interior this summer but still cant find a headliner,,still a head turner as it is though i love it,,i got a black duster that keeps cruising by my place on weekends i think he may want to race,lol,lol but the *** end is so far in the air when he turns the corner the whole car swayes

 

I dyno'ed my car at school, what an absolute waste of time in all honesty. it was fun, and it was free. So i can't exactly complain. I made 3 pulls, and made right at 400 whp and 400 lbs/tq.

My car didn't pull over 5,000 RPM (I take it up to 5900). Fell flat on it's face. Why? I don't know...

That night I blew the head gasket. It was a DynoJet, and it wasn't loaded and there were not any numbers calculated in.

Go to a Mustang dyno and have alot of air flow in if you're doing it. Cheap dyno's are a waste of time.

Back on topic: I like the dyno if all else is squared away. I try and steer people away from a dyno until they have a wide band and / or data logger in place. If the shop has a o2 logger then see if you can buy an hour of time vs. three pulls. You can make your timing changes / jet changes while the dyno operator does other work.
