Sachs vs. Dynojet

[Joseph Donnelly]

Today I watched a duel between the Sachs/brass puck clutch in a frisky, "adequately" fueled 12 valve Ram and the roller's brake of the Dynojet.

Who would win? In order to get as good a torque reading as possible, Lawrence Bolton "tortured" the poor little Ram by dragging down the engine's rpm with the Dynojet brake, while applying an "earnest" dose of accelerator pedal (transmission in 5th gear). This builds boost and power down at 1500 rpm or so. When the roller's brake is released, the engine can accelerate as usual and the hp curve is measured. Obviously, this procedure puts a tremendous load on the clutch, and this Sachs wasn't even fully broken in--it was installed about 10 days ago.

Lawrence and I detected some unevenness to the engine's tone, and he said he believed the Dynojet brake was slipped by the Ram's torque. He did not feel any clutch slippage.

I'm sure he and D'Man came up with a few goodies to play with 500 and what Joe

 

[Joseph Donnelly]

Owww, no I ain't tellin... please don't hit me again #ad


Sickly has been feelin' right peaked lately #ad
and needs more.

If you are industrious enough to look elsewhere, you may find a few clues on the roundtable #ad


Dman sure is an artist with that hone! That's all I'm gonna say. Wait until we get done playing, I'm hoping to uprate from 510 to 511 hp hehehehehehe Darn it feels so good already... . dont... stop... . more... . more!!!

Hehehehehehe #ad


Well, sometimes you hear true stories. I ain't talking. Did you hear that the office folks saw the sun get blocked out during the dyno run, when the "plume" passed over the building in their direction? What about 80 mph on 1/8" of accel pedal?
Naaah, couldn't happen, could it? #ad
