Congrats on the purchase. I have had mine for over 10 years and can't imagine life without it! I have made over 1500 runs on my cars. Of that I have 550 runs on my Tri-Power motor alone. It is an incredible learning tool. You will really enjoy it!

Don't really want to hijack this thread but I will say that I have 205 runs on the 383 in my red convertible. Being able to test things like E3 spark plugs, depth of plenum divider in a dual plane intake, effect of clutch fan, different mufflers, etc., etc., are invaluable. Heck, I even have 165 runs on my 1990 Callaway - and the car has only 1800 miles on it! To say that I am addicted to this DynoJet is an understatement!

How tall is that? DynoJet specs say the pit is 1'11" (http://www.powercommander.com/downlo..._v98219103.pdf) as long as I am reading that right, but that looks really tall for a basically 2 foot tall hole.

Sweet! Looks like you guys have lots of fun. 
Oooowww! Sorry to hear that. You do realize that you and you son both have a degree in an inferior profession. Mechanical Engineering would have been the right path to take. 
You probably weren't smart enough to get that degree

I think it will be fun and interesting... first thing i will test, CAI...
What held me back for so long was a place to put it... Thats how i got it,, my friend who sold it to me had no where to put it.... I am building a new home and large garage, and now a separate garage for the Dyno.. having land is a wonderful thing..
Merry Chrismas brother... and happy new years to you and your family 
Thank you....
My NUMBER ONE REASON for buying it is,,,, it will keep my sons always coming home to visit... and they are the most important thing in my, and my wife's life. And that is the truth.... and second... should be a lo of fun for me and any of my friends
