Im going to the dyno on Saturday for the first time. What do I have to do/ask/look for? I know its a dynojet and he charges 120$ for three runs with an A/F. What gear should i dyno in 5th? What should the tire pressure be? As i said iv never been to a dyno nor have I ever seen one so any help or advice would be great!!!

 

Tire pressure is not a huge deal. 5th gear is ideal. Some shops will dyno in 4th because of the speed I guess. Just for ***** and giggles I did a dyno in 4th and one in 5th immediately after. Aside from the speed and a smoother uncorrected graph in 5th, they were within 3 whp and that is within the error of the machine.

 

Make sure the radio and heater are off. VDC absolutely must be off. $120 for three runs is pricey.

Let's see... You might consider disconnecting the battery overnight tonight and then driving like a bat outta hell the day before the dyno but take it easy on the way over there unless it's a long drive.

Also, if the SAE corrected numbers don't look high enough to brag about then have the guy print you out a sheet with the uncorrected numbers. That's what a lot of guys on this forum do and it's good for about 10 HP.

Yea do both gears so you can see the diff. and then post them on here!!

 

haha you know I will lol..

 

if its an MT pull in 5th gear...

AT in 4th...

120 better include beer, pizza, and some form of tuning...

 

What's a competetive price for 3 dyno runs?

 

group day ~45 for 3 pulls

solo- looking around 65-85 depending on the shop

 

Ha Ha you think thats bad another shop I called wanted 200 BUCKS!!! That better include beer, pizza, the dyno runs, and a stripper!!!

 

Where are you in NJ again? The shop I dyno at regularly will do it for 75 with A/F I think. I'll check for you today.
