Northern Ill Dyno Day

[Partyat33]

The GLTDR/ILTDR is planning a dyno day late in April. Right now April 23 looks the best. It will be held in the Joliet area. I am talking to a couple of vendors and firming up the details.



You will get three runs for $50. 00. Owner will drive their own truck.



Would like to gauge interest so we can plan accordingly.

To answer your questions (before you even ask them), it is a Mustang MD-250 dyno. Duallies can drive right on with no modifications. Yes, that's right Dennis, you can keep your training wheels on.



You will be able to pick from several different types of runs. Acceleration power surve, 1/4 mile simulated sprint (if you know the accurate weight of your truck), parasitic power losses, pull-down test (my favorite), and Dynojet simulation (given the right software shows up on time for the last two tests).



All tests will be printed with HP and torque (if possible). And you will get 1/4 mile stats for those runs (60 ft. , 0-60 mph, 1/8 mile, 1/4 mile, trap speed).



Please feel free to contact me with any questions, you may have on the machine.

I need my training wheels. Good thing I can keep them on !!!!

Sounds like fun. Might have to drive up from Champaign to check it out!

I may make it down there, altho I probably won't run on the dyno it still would be fun to watch others spooling it up.

I would also be very interested. Would bring 3 trucks with if not more.

PS. Planning on trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.



Dennis

So that means that the dyno operator is not allowed to compete, eh?

Im in Dennis. Make sure the hood is open, and your ready for the qusetions

 

[Partyat33]

Yes, the dyno operator cannot compete. Then maybe somebody else can win.



I am also planning to bring a grill for cooking out. Probably brats and burgers.

 

[bmoeller]

Since it is a Sunday, I might be able to come. Been itching to get on the rollers. Oo.

 

[Partyat33]

Jeff, you can look under the hood at the twins all you want. Aron's truck has twins as well. So you can look at both an compare.

Aron,

Lets try not to put the " soda " tub too near the exhaust exits!!! :{



It makes the cans taste funny. :-laf



How much time in between runs will we have to adjust things ??



bmoller,



Look forward to a plate change & test of that new trans.



Dennis,

Dennis, I did not know you had twins under the hood... Now I have to go and check that out!!

 

[Partyat33]

Last time we me I did not have them. But now the hood is pretty full. I have not run the truck on the rollers since I installed the twins. I am looking forward to the results (I hope). I know my EGT's are down about 300 degrees.

Dennis,

The question now is will the rollers be able to stand the STRAIN ??



Can we add a little more fuel in your future ?



Look forward to the inaugural event of the fledging TDR/ILLTDR. Oo. Oo.
