Did a little calling around today to get some info on local dyno shops. One of the local guys has a Dynojet 248. He says he has the inductive pickup to measure torque and he claims the unit is good to 1800 HP and 1800 ft/lbs of torque. He also has hoses and an exhaust system to get rid of the smoke if need be.

What I would like to know is if this is a good unit to run our trucks on. Is this the type that will allow us to build good boost? Are the readings accurate or are they too high/low?

Hoping to plan a dyno day for the Minnesota area sometime in the next couple of months or so and I want it to be a quality dyno if possible.

Sign this guy up or keep looking? Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

I don't quite understand is he saying that he has something to measure torque separately. A dyno has no ability to measure H.P. without first measuring torque. the horsepower reading is a mathematical result of torque at a given RPM.
H.P.= torque x rpm so if he is not knowledgeable best to find someone else.

5252

 

I guess I mis stated that. He just meant he has the inductive pick up for measuring diesel rpm.

 

All the guys that have dynoed their trucks on this site and only one response?

What gives?

 

Mine was run on a Dynojet (not sure of the model).
I saw 231hp & 468 TQ for my best run.

Some say the Mustang dyno is better.

I think it depends on your level of performance, and what you're actually looking for.
