Hey Gang,
I wanted to break in my new engine at JWE. They quoted $800 for the engine dyno procedure, plus whatever needed to tune it. A little pricey for my modest means.... Any other way to break in a race engine on a rear wheel dyno or by driving around the neighborhood without getting a ticket? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Bill P. |

Rear wheel dyno wont help. They are acceleration tests only.. they cant load them (unless something changed and they bought a real dyno).
The Dynojets are nothing more than: "how fast you can you accelerate this given weight" Pretty simple. Since it didnt get new cams.. run it around the track during the warmups and dont take it over 5k for the first session. Then keep it at 6 for the next session... then let it rip. I didnt fully understand what you had done to the engine. B |
