If it's alright with you's guys, I will need some volunteers to help load and unload vehicles. Anyone? I am going to be eyes deep in advice, test running, and dyno stuff and a little help would be appreciated.
BTW boys, bring your hearing protection. We're gonna have some visitors that are running gassers (probably with open collectors).
I plan on running any two of the following tests; 1/4 mile run (for those who know how much they weigh), acceleration power window (power curve on the way up), pull-down test (power curve on the way down) if we can get the trucks to stick to the rollers, or inertial run (same type of run as the Dynojet). Start thinking of what kind of run you want to do. Please keep in mind that a pull down test is the most stressfull, but also the most accurate. If you want more information on the tests, you can call me, or wait until the morning of.
If a run fails (for a reason other than your truck blew up Josh), that's a freebie. The cost is for two good runs (or as good as we can possibly make them). I will also be able to evaluate parasitic losses to your driveline if that's one of the runs you want to make. But if you want that, be patient. I've never run one of those before.
If 8:00 is okay, I will hold an informational briefing about the dyno runs, what is going to happen, how it works, types of tests, and risks. The owner runs his (or her) own vehicle. I can also dispense advice on a limited basis. It will be kind of a 'catch me if you can' kind of thing.
Other than that, there will be a few formalities and then we will be off. Sound good to everyone?
