weel i dont know all the details about blowing rock, but i know there was some controversy at the SSS last year , the prizes are given off hp numbers and not torque numbers and if im not mistaken thats the issue is thew torque numbers are always wrong, or am i wrong

The Dyno man was horrible at Blowing Rock.

He seriously needs to find a new profession.

Shoot, you better be there marty, I wanna see Hi Ho Silver runnin!!

Yeah the tq numbers were off at SSS, but the whole dyno was off at BR. He didnt even load the trucks correctly. We knew of some trucks that should have made over 500HP, and they were makin less than 400. Hanks truck weighs 8000lbs, he weighed it, and the dyno operator put in 7000. But, for the Scheide Truck, he spent LOTS of time loading it on the dyno. Course, he made 1000+ Hp on fuel and Meth Only.... big name, right load...

Scott or Logan have you figured out who you want for the dyno? I am probablly gonna just hang out with you guys this time if you use the sudden performance dyno.

hey justin, whats up, i had already talked with scott about doing the dyno this year and he put me on the calender , maybe you can answer the questions alot of the guys are asking me , why does it seem the dyno isnt giving correct numbers , seems to be a big problem

[hager5739]

The numbers at the SSS last year and at BR were not off on the dyno. we had a printer problem that would not print off the torque numbers until later. the schied truck only made 889 HP. The mustang dynos always run lower HP and torque than the dyno jets because it is simulating the load on the road and the dyno jet does not. The only truck that we have had make 1000+ HP on that dyno was a diesel drag truck and a super gas car.

well its not a big deal to me ,ive heard some complaints about this or that , i just want everyone to be happy , im not a big dyno person myself , but i like to have one for the ones that do, thanks for the input

Scott the biggesst complaint is the dyno jet which I explained above. I think many people get mislead when they put some mods and the box said it should make x amount of HP. some of these aftermarket chips don't specify rear wheel HP or engine HP which I am sure you know that deal. Every time I have added one thing to my truck i dyno it before I add another so I can see the stock number and the inmprovement. Many guys don't have the oppurtunity to do that. I used to run an edge chip and it did not give me enoughso I switched to the banks chip and have had really good luck. what i have seen on the dyno on my truck has matched the improvement banks has given on the box.
