My machinist shares space with a dyno shop. As many times as I've been there, I've only ever seen one car on the dyno. I was talking to Trev today when I was up there and he told me about the guy that owns the dyno...



Anyhow...on to dyno time. He usually charges $85 an hour for single pulls but...if we get a group of 6 or more people together we can do a dyno "day". He charges $50 a car and you get as many pulls as there is time to do. What he'll do is put a car on the dyno and do a pull and then a second pull. If the first and second pull aren't within a couple of hp, he'll do another. Trev says he's seen this guy do 5 pulls in a row before he loads the next car. There is an extra $10 or $15 for doing a pull with the o2 hooked up.

So...there you have it. If you want to tune a bit or if you just want to know how much hp your car is putting down, this seems like a pretty cheap way to go. I realize we probably won't do this until the spring when everyone pulls the beasts out of the garage but it's something to keep in mind...

Sure...why not? He wants a minimum of 6 cars but if there are more, why not?

if there are more cars then that means less runs for us because its as many runs as you can in a set time
