My 1st Dyno



Excellent numbers. Especially for an engine originally rated at 90 crank hp.

Dynos are great tuning tools. Using one along with a wideband O2 sensor is 
usually the best way to pick up hidden hp-- whether it be by A/F tweaks or 
ignition/cam changes.

The only drawback is when you compare YOUR numbers to someone else's. Despite 
the DIN,JIS,or SAE "correction factors" that many dynos automatically compute 
before displaying a curve-- real world has it that not all dynos read the 
same.

If the shop has a Dynojet-- ask them to save all your files to disc. Dynojet 
has a REAL cool viewer which then allows you to thoroughly analyze results.
