Re: Pretty cool TT Buick dyno video (Monty)
Too bad my speakers aren't working on my home computer right now. I wonder what kind of chassis dyno they are using - it isn't a DynoJet. I will have to get a better look at my office on Monday.
At any rate, excellent numbers! That turbocharging is incredible!

Hey Monty, Been surfing TurboBuick.com ? :D The sound part is the most incredible part of that video. As much as I like my Buick, nothing can touch the sound of a small block. Then when it gets up on boost, oh yeah. :conehead
I'm pretty sure that's one of Bob Reigers old motors that Duttweiler built.

Holy shiat :)
Nice place for the exhaust, bet pedestrians will like that. Is that smoke coming from the rear tires slipping on the roll?? WHOAAAAAAAA

wouldn't it register higher if the tires hadn't started smoking?
Monty - why didn't you think of exhaust pipes like that? I'm sure that police men like that sound.

Re: Pretty cool TT Buick dyno video (gkull)
Yeah, there's definitely some rwhp lost with the spinning tires.
I wouldn't even make it out of my garage before one of my busy-body neighbors called the police or city on me with that kind of exhaust. But with the current popularity of Harley's and all the noise they make, maybe I could get away with it. I could simply disconnect the exhaust from the downpipes, and get the sme result, lbeit without the exhaust coming out of the fender. The downpipes end at the bottom of the firewall/footwell and are attached tot he exhaust via stainless v-band clamps.

Re: Pretty cool TT Buick dyno video (Monty)
Not to through cold water on the excitement here but according to DynoJet the two roller chassis dyno's only give an ESTIMATION of the rear wheel horsepower since they can not actually measure anything greater than about 400-450 horsepower.
The two roller variety are an old fashioned design. If you look at all the latest technology dynos (DynoJet, Mustang, and Superflow) you will see the large 48" or greater diameter knurled drums - not the tiny smooth rollers.
As you can see, the problem with the two roller type are the complete lack of traction.
