Default Re: Tried to get a dyno run

Some shops will dyno tune for a price, doing it all for you. You can find local DynoJets on the DynJet web page as they list everyone in your area that has one. The shops I have used will rent out the DynoJet by the hour so you or someone you furnish can tune the car between runs and try different approaches. This is not cheap though as you are renting a $20,000 + machine by the hour as well as paying your tune up guy.

I tune mine myself judging improvements from my drag strip time slips and by using my G-tech Pro. When I think I have reasonably increased the power, then I will spring for the DynoJet runs ($85 for 5 runs here in Houston).

On both the Mustang Dyno and DynoJet you do not need to hook up a spark plug wire. Prior to the run, RPM range can be set by taking the vehicle to a certain RPM, lets say 2500 RPM. The Dyno will read the speed of the vehicle at that given RPM. The computer is set and it's done. Very accurate. We use it on all the vehicles we test and tune. Another point of interest is that companies like Superchips Custom Tuning and other, all recommend (in both their manuals and courses they offer) that you should always use a load bearing Dyno (like the Mustang Dyno) to tune since it will simulate actual driving conditions. It is almost imperative when setting transmission shift point. One other feature on the MD1750 SE is the ability to run a 1/4 mile. It tests reaction time, 60, 330,660,1000 and 1320 and hands you a time slip when you are done.

As far as the cost of Dyno? Depending on capability and features base price is around $50,000.00. Then ad freight, if in ground another 10K for the rebar reinforced pit, and another 8K for the hoist when above ground. Additional monitors can be added to look at inlet temperatures, boost levels, EGT's, AFR, etc. Unless you carry a on board data logger, very hard to do at the track.
