This is from the Manager at Curry's in Dulles:


If any of your group are interested we are planning a dyno day with the Mercury Marauder club on August 16th.


Anyone interested? $50-$75 per car depending on how many come out.

Curry’s has an all wheel drive Mustang Eddy Current dynamometer rated up to 1700bhp

 

Would your shop like to get video coverage? I have a small media group that I work with and we do commercials and small independent films and such. I myself do audio, let me know if your interested.

 

Curry's dyno read's alot lower then most. My buddies integ made alot of power on other dyno's and for some reason didnt make nearly as much as curry's but yet qr mile times/traps go with the hp figures other dyno's have shown.

 

Jason: correction factors and ambient temp and lots of other things play a role in HP reading. Also there are many types of dynos with the 3 most popular being:

mustang dyno.

dynojet.

dynapak.

out of the 3 the dynopak dyno will have the highest reading(anywhere from 5-15% higher than the other 2), while the mustang style dyno will read the lowest of the 3.

But who cares if you run 10.30s all day long, if your dyno sheet aint the highest!

 

Not necessarily, Dynojets between themselves all tend to read about the same(even though there is differences in dynojets, big rollers, compared to smaller), its between Dynapacks and Mustang Dynos you get a large variance.

Why?? Because those last 2 dynos have more variables(good for tuning to simulate street conditions), and can skew the numbers big time. Thats why dynojets are so cheap, they are basic.
