Need dyno access
Anyone here from GA, NC, TN, VA, ect...
I need some help here finding a shop with a chassis brake dyno...
I have searched and searched, but there are NO shops around here with a chassis dyno, only engine dynos
Do any of you know of any shops in this area (within a border state of NC) that has one?
I HAVE TO DYNO MY TRUCK- I cannot stand it anymore

Contact Superflow at http://www.superflow.com/ they have a list of folks with their dynos. Maybe there's someone nearby.
This is the same dyno that Superchips uses.

I will give the shop a call tomorrow.

I'll be looking for your call, I bet you will call when you heading down the interstate cruising at 135 mph. Its gonna be nuts. Talk to ya tomorrow.

One thing to keep in mind is that many of the intertia dynos, especially the dynojet ones, don't have enough mass in the rollers to really hold back a PSD well enough to get a real picture of the true output. This would be especially true of a PSD on steriods.
That is why an eddy current dyno with its additional load capability is really necessary.
So with any of the intertia chassis dynos, you can get a picture of what the truck is doing and how any mods have affected the performance - as long as you always go back to the same dyno. A different inertia dyno with the same truck will likely give you different results.
A brake dyno will give you a more true reading of the power output, than an inertia for a number of reasons. There is a SAE doc - SAE 2002-01-0887 - that is very interesting reading on the subject.

If you were dynoing a standard, an inertia dyno would work just fine, because there is correction factors for dynojet inertia dynos according to the weight of the vehicle being dynoed.
I am kinda a dyno freak when it comes to harley's and that is all I have ever used, was the dynojet 200. Y ou do have to kinda know hp and tq and what your after when using an inertia dyno, as they are harder to tune with than an eddy current dyno. You can create so many more scenarios with the eddy current. With the inertia, all you really get is where you are at #'s wise.
