Chassis Dyno ordered!

[RickDLance]

I decided to go ahead and get the Chassis Dyno coming. Looks like it won't be done till February though.

Hopefully this will allow us to do a lot more testing on our parts. It was getting pretty tuff finding the time to travel somewhere to do before and after testing.

We might also actually post some results now.

Are you going to open it to the public or forum members?? I'd much rather use yours than one from an unknown shop.. Plus your not far away!

 

[RickDLance]

Probably, although we will not do any tuning.

Awesome, completely understand the tuning!

clrussell you could come up and pay me a visit and then you would only be about 10 minutes from Rick's shop!

Need to do it, take your truck over there

 

[Thunderwood]

I'm gonna have you order me a set of his manifolds and up pipes after I get paid Monday then get those on and we'll see what happens!

What brand did you settle on?

I think that was directed at Rick about the dyno. I'm curious what brand you decided on too. I'm really wanting a dyno, but it's hard to justify spending the money. Maybe I'll get into tuning gassers, then it'll pretty much be a requirement, and I can talk myself into it more easily...

So, when's the inaugural dyno day?

 

[RickDLance]

Dynocom is the brand. They are fairly well known. Several of my dealers have them and so far they all speak highly of them.

Maybe we could do a dyno day this summer when we get it set up and learn how to use it.

Congratulations Rick!
That's a big purchase, I'm sure you'll recover the cost in no time once you start running it for the public

Having the ability to test parts is priceless tho

Is it a load cell?

 

[Fiesty]

Awesome Rick. I drove by the shop a couple weeks ago. Off a gravel road? big shop behind your house?

 

[yellowchevy]

Did you add on to your shop Rick for a place to put it?

Congrats Rick!

I don't think they ever pay for themselves by selling dyno time but sure are a blast. We have dyno'd Dustin on a bicycle, our golf cart, 4 wheelers, really anything with wheels.

They sure are handy for testing and diagnosing truck problems. Good Load cells rock!
