Friends have tried to get me to put my car on a chassis dyno at one of the events we attend.

I have no interest. To me they are a tuning tool and nothing more.

The only numbers that matter to me are the ones at the dragstrip. Even then, mph is what is relevant to hp. You can have crap for tires and chassis and a lousy e.t. but still get a close idea from weight and mph of what the engine is making.


'63 Dodge 330
11.19 @ 121 mph
Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs.
10.01 @ 133mph with a 250 shot of nitrous an a splash of race gas. 1.36 60 ft. 3,700 lbs.
