Advice on Dyno needed

Recommended Posts

I almost have enough miles (I was told at least 500) on my 2010 to take to Dyno.. I guy down the street has this..

 

Dynapack™ attaches directly to the axle(s), thereby overcoming all the disadvantages of tire distortion including noise, torque steer, loss of traction, tire heat and design variations in the tire. Precise engine results - no inertia to mask faults • Repeatable - accurate back to back runs within 0.3% • Portability - on and off site • Stress free - 2 to 30 sec. runs for all data types. • Minimal noise level - no tire interface • Virtually no installation and running costs • Cost effective - chassis and engine dyno capable • Flexible, easy to use software

 

 

How does this compare to the typical roller Dyno that i see eveyone else using to tune their cars?

I have only ever seen the "roller" type dyno's in person DynoJet and believe the other was as Mustang Dyno. Some are known to read higher and some lower depending on the brand. Have a friend with a supercharged/cammed C6 ZO6 who's car actually slips on the rollers because he's making so much power, so of course this throws off his reading. He was telling me the show he goes to has a laser type device and camera to measure slip and recaliculate the numbers (it's all a bit over my head)

 

Pro:

 

* Pretty fast to strap car on make dyno run

 

* Easy to find shop with these type of dynos

 

Con:

 

* Wheel slippage can happen which can mean distorted HP/TQ numbers

 

* Tend to be more loud, tire noise

 

 

The type you are describing they'd remove your rear wheels and attach the dynometer to your axle so you don't have to worry about any slippage. I've never seen one in person but it sounds more controled, the car is strapped down in front and attached at the rear axles so I'd guess there is little movement. On a roller dyno I've seen quite a load put on the tie down straps when cars are making big power.

 

Pro:

 

* Supposed to be more accurate at measuring HP/TQ

 

* More quiet, no tire noise

 

Con:

 

* Longer to set up car for pull

 

* Harder to find shops with this type of dyno

 

I say give your Shelby a run if the shop is close to your house.

Just a little something I found on YouTube.

thanks Todd! Great Video. I keep forgetting to check YouTube for info like this. I guess that makes sense to me that the Dynapak would show lower HP depending on how the car was strapped down to the roller dyno / friction / etc...
