My SIX *should* be ready for a dyno session after the weekend.

Where in the North Bay should I go?
S-CAR-GO? RPM Automotive?
Who will set me up?

before you book time at a dyno... run your car for a bit..make sure its all up to snuff before your on your dime... fixing things while your paying dyno time is silly...

The engine is on the bench, so running it in the car is out until later this winter.

I'll run it and sync the rebuilt carbs at home.

I want to know HP. Just for me.
I may bring my wrench and some jets just for fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Thanks.

Typically your bring you car/engine and the dyno peeps do initial set up. Then they do a pull or two to make sure they are collecting the data accurately.. then they wait... you can make as many changes as you want we within the period of time you bought ( usually)

Yep. Use Robbie at S-Car-Go.. bring your wallet. Typicaly dyno time will run you 800$. It takes several hours to set the engine up on the dyno.

It might make 180hp. Venturi size is too small for anything over that.

Thanks, Brad.

I wonder if I should just bring a couple bigger jet combos and maybe a set of bigger chokes. See what happens. I only want to spend an hour or two.

Whose got "loaner jets" for testing?

Mainly for my "jollies". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Um.. it will take 3-4 hours of setup time that you have to pay for...THEN a baseline pull and then you can adjust.

No matter what I do... it runs me no less than 800$ at Jerry Woods place to dyno fresh engines. I might get 4-5 pulls in that time frame.

Are we talking 4 hours at $200 per hour?

What exactly is happening in all this time?

I want an intitial pull or two and maybe one or two more after my tweaky.

It will take several hours to install the engine on the dyno and hook up all the sensors and such. It is a major task to undertake. More difficult than installing it into a car.

It wont be 200$ an hour.. but it will be close to 100$ if it isnt 100$ an hour. Oil, gas, blah blah.. it adds up.

If you are running WEBERS there is only one place to go - Jerry Woods.

So it's not like just putting it on and engine stand, huh?

Maybe I'll just put several numbers in my club hat and the number I pull out will be my HP!

Wait until you get it into the car... and then dyno it on the chassis dyno. Much cheaper...

You could always get a g-tech and call it close enough... I'm not sure what the consensus is on the accuracy of these things, but it's cheaper and you get all the tuning time you want.
