Default My first dyno pull

Yesterday I took my 442 to my friends shop to check out his new dyno.
It is a four wheel unit so he can do EVO's and other 4wdr vehicles.
He was looking to test the dyno so he asked if I wanted to put the 442 on it.
I said OK!!
Here is my first pull. The car had 240HP at the rear wheels but it was very lean at power. So I am going to up the jetting.
Listen to the end of the pull and you can hear the big Quadrajet rear barrels opening up.
He also wants to put my 61 fuelie on it and see how it does. I will keep you posted.

Here is the EVO. Check out the tech near the car. When he put his fingers in his ears I knew it was going to be loud!

It will be interesting to see what it pulls when you rejet it.
