Dyno
I am taking my car in tomorrow to the dyno shop in san diego. i have never had any car dynoed before, is there anything I need to know before i go? i dont want to look like an idiot.. what gear do they do the dyno runs in?
I am going with my friend who just bought a 92 plymouth laser turbo.. i hope my car puts down more power than his! his car only has a 3 inch exhaust..
oh and its a dynojet and it costs 90$ for only 2 runs.

oh well, ill tell everyone how it goes.
One more quick question. How much do the stock 18s weigh? Do they play a small role in our cars not putting down as much HP as one would think they should?
thanks!

RX8 and a Truk....
Do you have Traction Control? Before you dyno, push and hold the DSC OFF button....hold it for 10 seconds - or until you see a little yellow warning symbol in the center of the Tach area.

thanks again
thanks again
Ideal is do the runs in the gear closest to a 1:1 ratio - or 5th gear for our cars. Here are some pics and vids from a dyno day a few of us did last year. May give you a good idea of the kinds of things to expect.
