Andy, horrifying pics but really wanted to ask a question about your dyno setup.

Most of the dyno shop I've seen have a very large fan in front of the car to help remove the engine heat during and after a dyno run. With the front of your dyno so close to the wall, you probably can't do that. What system do you have to remove the engine heat that builds up during the dyno runs?

Andy has two very powerful fans in the bottom of the wall that blow up under the car into the engine area. Works better than one large fan.

ArmyVette: I have high velocity blowers built into the wall. They draw cool air from the adjacent room.
