How hard does a dyno stress your motor?

[commiepunk]

My motor is stock, never been reubuilt. Tranny is stock too. Would it be a bad idea to dyno my engine (just for kicks)? I know that i don't make much power, but it sounds like fun none the less. How long does it stress the high-RPM ranges? Thanks.

Most dynos have less load than your car would getting just flooring it on the road. In fact the one I went to didn't have enough load for me to maintain max boost.

Doesnt hurt more than doing a pass at a track

Dyno is much easier on parts. You only flog it in 3rd gear, and you don't do a burn out. Plus, I agree that there is less load. The dyno measures how fast your car can "spool up" the rollers. My EGT's were 150 degrees cooler on the dyno.

Thats why you dont go to dyno jets

none of the big 3 use them.. none of the race teams for nascar and etc. use them

Mustang Dynos, or some kinda of water break dyno for me please
