Re: Yesterdays Dyno Test! (Jman)
GS- How much did the dyno runs cost you? I'd like to get my car dynoed pretty soon.
At "Dyno Day" in Orlando I paid $45 for 2 pulls w/out A/F

Re: Yesterdays Dyno Test! (GrandSportC3)
I've never felt the need for the dyno. Especially here at nearly 5000 feet. My car is to pretty to tear up racing. You should do testing with an A/F ratio and something monitoring your timing. Your cam like mine should be making power clear out past 6500

Re: Yesterdays Dyno Test! (GrandSportC3)
Do you have your cam card? I need the even numbers and I could run it through my DD2000. That big of a cam in a 383 shouldn't have peak hp untill 6000 or so. Also don't you have 2.05/1.60's in those Dart heads? also I need to know header size.

Header size it 1 7/8's primaries and a 4 inch sidepipe (currently with CCI 2-disk inserts)

Re: Yesterdays Dyno Test! (GrandSportC3)
you can have "bungs"(nuts) welded to the bottom of your way big 1 7/8 headers (if you don't want to buy a spare set for testing.) Plug it after and no one will see it.
it's not a big deal; just do it!

Re: Yesterdays Dyno Test! (GrandSportC3)
I just checked the price for a oxygen sensor + harness at Summit. It's $89.95 :eek:... So it would be way to expensive to hook up 10 sensors...
I might just hook up one in the left pipe!!

Re: Yesterdays Dyno Test! (GrandSportC3)
the gauge i use reads 2 cyl at once.$100
sensors 2x$20=40
8 would be 160, maybe less if you shop around.
there is no need for 10 unless you get a viper v10.
i use mine as a tool, and swap it from car to car as needed. your idea with a rotary switch is :cool: if you don't mind spending the $$$$$$
Pro's run 8 with matching gauges and a video camera; they study the runs on replay with :cheers:

Re: Yesterdays Dyno Test! (QuickVet)
why the black smoke? :confused:
The whole setup has to be dialed in and adjusted. There is no smoke during regular driving - just at full throttle...
