Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) dyno tommorrow

[RConner]

I am going to dyno tommorrow for the first time. I don't have a lock up switch. The dyno is a mustang that is good for up to 2000 hp and torque. They said the torque will be accurate up to 10%. Do you guys have any suggesstions or advice??

Will the dyno operator run your rig or does he let you run it on the dyno? You will want to do an accelerometer run that is what everyone here uses but its not the most accurate. On a mustang you can do true load tests to get the real power numbers but many will bock at that here because a dynojet dyno is the most popular accelerometer it gives inflated FUN #'s. If you are to run it take it to lockup in OD and get it to around 1800 and lay into it heavy but smooth to about 2k rpm then WOT,this is to prevent it from down shifting. until dyno guy gives thumbs up then let up. Do not let the dyno guy start you from a rolling start in first and read while it is upshifting it will give a real low reading.

If you have the Banks ottomind with pyro, can you put the pyro post turbo so it doesn't de-fuel at 1300F.

Sorry I haven't updated my sig but I do not have the banks just the juice and I will take the warnings off. From what I gathered on the phone I will take it easy until I am in lockup then mash it. I can get into lock up a 40 mph but I will have to feather the pedel until about 65 so it will not downshift. I am not sure if I will be in the truck but I think so. At what rpm should I have the dyno shut off, he asked me that earlier and I said aroud 3800

You're done at 3200 - probably a little earlier.

Been thinking about putting my baby on the dyno when I get home... anybody know a reputable shop in/around OKC or DFW? Also, any advice on how I should run it with the 6-speed would be greatly appreciated.

So how did your rig do on the dyno what #'s did you throw down?
