Thanks for sharing your experiences,Brad! Like I said earlier..my main concern for using the dyno is to make sure there are NO issues,BEFORE re-installing the engine back into the X. Setting up a good baseline tune is another reason. Horsepower and Torque data,and the RPM's the peaks are achieved..is just "icing on the cake"

Back in the day ,,( early 70's to late 80's)I was building off shore boat motors ..I had a GO Power .D512 unit..all analog ..No computers ..just load down the load cells and read the Large torque gauge and tach ..do the math as the chart says and come out with a HP number..It didn't matter what the HP was exactly. altho it was very close...just if the tuning made more or less power... Geez..I'm getting old !!!

That is how my builder's Stuska is set up.

Thanks guys! I realize the tune will change with the motor hooked up and in the car. But,getting a "ballpark" idea on the tune would be beneficial! Cab...not sure if the A/F meter on the dyno is hooked to both collectors,or not! Maybe Raff,or Randy Johnson can answer that. I suppose I SHOULD have mentioned,having the rings broken-in..and finding out right off the bat,if the motor's going to "live" after a couple of 6500-7000 RPM pulls...will definately let me sleep soundly at night!
