I have all the poop on this dyno it is called Dynomite mounts right to
the tailshaft no horsepower loss in using it, and can also be used to
as a data acquisition unit as well. They are around $4,000 with a
driveshaft yoke plus any additional sensors you want. The data
acquisition unit is very small. Slightly bigger than a man size hand.
They even sent me the demo software wonderful package. Not a bad price
considering the chassis dyno Keith ran on was a base price somewhere
around $23,000.
