I could never Bring Myself to go on the Dino in the Past,i did not want to know how much BHP my V8 has lost over the years? the Truth hurts :( i had an idea from 1/4 mile times been lower than expected but rather not know in black and White proof.

Sorry to put a downer on this one :oops: but if you know you have a good motor then go for it :thumbright:

But isnt that the idea?

For me it will be a starting point to see where the stroker is at.

It will be fine you motor Carl go for it :thumbright: a diffrent animal than when i had Her thanks to Si (i did not take the RR on the 1/4 im refering to other motors i have owned)

what i mean is, lets say you have a 40 year old Mustang with some miles on the Motor,if its not been touched other than service for 40 years then it could have lost some BHP,i personaly would rather not know how much? :D but if i was planning a rebuild i would not be bothered it would be a good laugh.

I know where your coming from mate :thumbright:

It will be interesting to see what that engine is wacking out as I have no paperwork on it and a good starting point for any improvements :D

Still a good day out and a chance to meet plus...

Dyno Days consist of:

* 3 FULL Power runs
* Power graph, Data and Run Info.
* Logging of AFR, Boost, RPM, BHP and Torque.
* DVD and Photo of your car.
* FREE BBQ, Tea and Coffee.
Very much doubt it on a Dyno day. These are usually just a plug and play that day. About 30 mins 3 runs. That includes strapping down and hooking up, and removing afterwards (did one when i was into Jap stuff).

I wouldnt trust any normal place to tinker with a classic carb'd car. Most are used to EFI Ecu'd cars where it litteraly plug and play.

I want to get mine dyno'd before i mod anything (power or drivetrain wise). Would be a good base to start from! :thumbright:
