I have been talking with a fellow that has a portable dyno and I'm going to go check it out this weekend . I will see what kind of deal he can give us but I need to know how many people would be interested in this. Dyno runs like this usually cost $60.00 to $75.00 per truck for 3 pulls he also has a hourly rate of $150.00 for the first hr $100.00 per hr after that with min of 2 hr charge. He offers services for Gas & Diesel up to 1200 HP &1400 ftlbs of torque, it measures HP, Torque,Rpms ,1/4 mile and 1/8 mile times , Air/Fuel ratio .
If any of you motorheads are interested let me know in this thread please .
I would like to set up a G2G around this, a DYNO DAY if you will ,but I need to know how many are actually going to step up and spend some money .

 

This is a really cool idea, just need time to get all my mods done!

 

No you don't....you need before and after

I'll throw mine on the rollers again.

 

What? and have all of you guys with the juiced up strokes laugh at my little Mercedes? Would be sort of cool to see just what the little 5 banger puts to the ground though

 

Juiced up?!?!? Mine is almost stock. The only thing I have that makes any power is the stickers.

 

I promise I won't laugh, I can't wait to see it.. just too cool

 

Hi everyone, where is the dyno going to be at? I don't know if i'm going to dyno, but would love to check it out with yall!

Joe, i think i seen you exiting the Jax Wal-Mart last weekend, was that you?

 

Mike I haven't got it set up yet. There will be a good bit of notice when we do it, I'm going to check it out this weekend.

 

Was that Saturday? Then yes, we went and got the little one a new bed, then some sheets at wally world.. That was a big day for her..

I had to get fuel too, bad day for ole dad..

 

Sounds good Dave, i don't want to miss that.

Joe, it was Saturday. I was on 67/167 going towards LR.

 

I met with Dale and Brian today on the other side of LR where they were set up at a car show . Heres a few things I found out.

1 The owner of the vehicle operates it on the dyno
2 He offers dragstrip runs 1/4 and 1/8 with a tree and reaction times and 60ft times
3 you can mix and match your three pulls hp. torque , 1/4 , 1/8 mile any way you want to . All hp , 2hp runs and a 1/4 mile and so on
4 Dale says that they usually average 3 vehicles an hour on the dyno so we are going to be paying by the hr with a min of 2 hrs we need to get enough people interested in doing this for it to work.
5 Payment of services ; they take cash or cc
6 They also suggested that we could make a challenge out of it by trying to guess you hp #s or dragstrip times and have a 50/50 raffle you buy chances for your guess and athe one who runs the nearest his # get's half the pot.We could use the other half for the chapter or towards paying for the dyno.
7 My dually will fit on it without taking my outside tires off
8 It has a electromagnet set up on it so the dyno has a consent drag all the time and it can also be changed to simulate pulling different % grades
9 It is a Mustang Dyno

Here are a few pictures sorry about the chevy but I didn't take my dually and I was going to waste the money on my son's F150.
The chev had a 350 with a real mild cam, headers, intake , and a 4 barrel and he pulled 290 hp I thought that to be pretty realistic.

 

Here's a few more he does tow the trailer with a F350 with a V10.

 

Looks good. Surely we can find 6 guys to stap it down.

 

It would be a wast to put Mater on it right now, but I will come out and have some fun with you guys on it. As for the Chebby on there at least it was a nice one, I always did like the chevelle.

 

I'm to embarassed to even want to put mine on a dyno.
