Dyno Buckwheater here....

[Lee_Burough]

Make me smart about dynos, will you?

I have a MINT TTA, not likely to take it to the track, but, would consider a dyno. I'm shooting for 510 hp, or, power enough for high 11's, low 12's.

How do I find a dyno? How much does it cost? What are some of your lessons learned? What other specific facts do you think are important?

Thanks for your help

List the combo first.

Dyno Days or group deals are the cheapest. Usually around $75.

Alone expect to pay $100-150 for an hour or about 3 pulls.

Have the car completely tuned before you get there.

Make sure they have the wideband O2 hooked up.

Big fans in front of the intercooler and radiator help a lot.

I'm stock except for an XPFP, gutted cat, 160 stat, 92 thrasherand 255/50/16 Falken z-rated tires.

Gathering 50 pounders, T+, Extender, LT1 MAF and power plate to install after initial baseline. Will eventually put a Ta-49 on there

I take it that the dyno shop will routinely provide a WB02?

Usually they will just ask to make sure.

PS: You won't be too close to that 500hp. number either.

Shoot for 350 at the rear wheels with tons 'o torque.

I agree, Stock should be close to 300-325 RWHP.

By adding the electronics, injectors and turbo, I'm interested to see what will happen as I use the T+ to tune.
