Dyno newbie....info requested

All,

I've never dyno'd any of my cars but I'm considering taking the plunge here in the next several weeks to see how my mods are progressing. Considering taking my car to a Dodge dealer (with a Dynojet) here in Austin that caters to the Viper crowd so I'm not sure they are totally familar with C5's.

Any C5 specific tips I should be aware of....like where do they attach the straps in the back....AH off etc.

Any generic dyno tips that I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance for the advice/input....hopefully soon i won't be a dyno newbie.

Talk with the dyno operator, he will normally start you off in the gears then tell you when to hit the throttle to redline when you reach 4th gear [1:1], don't touch the brake when spooling down, just toss it into neutral and let the dyno coast you down.

the first time i had mind on the dynoe jet it was to get the edit done it made a world of difference, i am sure if they dynoe those vipers they should be able to hook your car up,good luck i for one am hoping that mti cam does good that's the cam i want.

Sandra stated 4th gear. Is that what everyone else has used? Just want to make sure as I have an appointment today at 4:00.

Yup... 4th gear

You want as close to 1:1 ratio as you can get. The Dynojets will adjust if you use different gears with the MPH/RPM correction but close to 1:1 is considered the "correct" gear to test in. 4th is the one!
