Figures you would think like a Dang Rocket Scientist.... But I agree Mayf...
you wouldn't get some of this on a Dyno especially a chassis Dyno with all
of the Car Variables thrown in... and I don't have Ten motors to Pitch at
one of these things... One of the biggest underlying considerations is that
the fella's that own this thing JUST got it and have about as much
experience as I do on one... in other words Zip.... but they have the device
and are willing to Play with my Junk....
The question is really what would be the Most effective use of How Many
Pulls... in other words since we don't have ten motors... what Information
could we Gain from say 3 Pulls... 5 Pulls .... 7 Pulls and what are the most
Critical things to learn... Brad and I have been talking about what
information we would like to have and what we could get out of using the
Dyno.... When you run the car on a Track the Variables are even Larger so
the Dyno Makes sense for some of the little questions in life .... like Cam
Timing and Ignition Timing... or do you bother with that? or do you Just
come up with the notes from Guys who have done this a Million times and
accept the fact that at 7200 Rpm a Small Block Chevrolet likes 36 degrees of
Timing Best?
Interesting thoughts.... Keith
