Dyno ?
My dyno guy won't put my C3 on the dyno. He says that he won't dyno a car with a carburator. What? Is this true? there's gotta to be a way ??

He's an idiot. And he's cut his potential for business in half.

Thanks guys. IvI' had two Z06s that I spent a bunch of money on. He dynoed both of them. I didn't want him to curve the timing, I just wanted to know what I'm putting down at the rear. What an idiot.
Thanks
John.
Thanks

I will echo the other's comments. Go to another dyno. I have had my 68 convert with NOM 454 and 750 cfm carb dyno-ed six times last year.

Sounds like someone who doesn't understand how a carb works...and that means he may be able to push buttons on a computer to "tune" but that means he doesn't likely understand truly what he's doing there either. Concepts are identical....
Find a new guy....

I had mine dyno'd after rebuild. My little 327 put out 387hp/434tq. Nice to know.. Go to someone else.

Echoing this again....YES...this guy is limited on his ACTUAL MECHANICAL knowledge on how make a car perform. I know many mechanics that IF they cannot plug a scanner in the cars system...they have NO CLUE. Heck...even some of them HAVE NO CLUE even with a scanner and the car not putting up a trouble code.

What cam did you use? My last cam desk topped about 355 HP. The new one I just ordered, Superchevy got up to 460HP out of. Im hoping to get 420-450 hp.
