Never even seen a Dynocom! Looking forward to trying it and finding a dyno we can use for future comparisons!
Great Price.... Thanks Buck!

Yes, Inertial readout preferred!

I'll have to run and see how consistent it is with my last Dynojet run. But to make it a true test, we'll need to get the outside air temp down to 45* so it matches conditions with my last run....can anyone hook that up for me?

Oh come on. You know that cold wind had to help out HP numbers while up in the air on that dyno.

DynoComs have a good reputation, they're supposed to have better eddy-current brake control/adjustability.

Accurate to 3Kft-lbs, but I thought they still needed either optical or inductive pickups?

We'll be there if we can get caught up at the shop in time!

Had forgotten how cold that day was at Bob Davies Hanger/Runway! Don't think Brian made that one??
I'll gladly give up 4-5 hp for a day in the 70's.

I also think RPM pickup is required for torque reading. Didn't they use one at Emory's Mustang?
Usually run on these type dynos at 1:1 gearing, so maybe the computer can calculate automatically??
We'll find out Saturday

He was there that day. He spent the morning figuring out how he was going to back up the ramp onto that trailer with his sticky clutch...without going off the back end.

I can confirm that he followed us back to Robert's that night, I still harass him about making me follow him through that black cloud.

I remember Brian being there at Bob's for the dyno. But what I really remember about that day was the look on Bob's face when Mike was trying to back his 10,000+ lb Pig up the ramp. But he got r done! I think Bob thought it was going to break/bend the ramps at the time. Mike's truck has gone on a diet since then though.

Should be a fun day in Burleson! Looking forward to seeing everybody again.


ohhhhh.......and temps around 45 degrees is fine by me!!! Geesh...it's mid-November............and been hanging around 82-85 degrees lately.
