Dyno Prep/Advice ?

[Dominic]

Alright guys Im going to the dyno tomorrow, Tuesday Feb 19, 2002, around lunchtime. $50 for 3 runs, and here's what I plan on doing with the 3 runs.

Run 1 - Normal
Run 2 - Normal
Run 3 - Remove MAF screen

Hopefully I'll see a significant change in hp/tq numbers by removing the screen on the last run - I'm guessing it will be lower because of what I saw at the track.

My questions are as follows:

• Are there any preperations I need to make to the car before going?
• Is there anything I need to know about while being ON the dyno itself?
• Is it worth going?
• I heard about bad spark responses throwing off torque curves for the dyno, is this common? Can I do anything to prevent this? I run stock wires.
• Does anyone have any idea what kind of numbers I should expect to pull with a 9.7second 1/8 mile time?

Thanks guys - I would like responses to be quick if possible, I'll be leaving tomorrow - wish me luck...

I would say anywhere from 155-175 max. I couldn't get a torque reading on mine either when it was dynoed. Good luck! Make sure to post your numbers!

my guess is 174 RWHP and 201 RWTQ..those are random but fair IMO..good luck..you will finally get to see what the car sounds like under load from behind the car...thats why i really want to dyno..so i can hear my car :D

best of luck..
