I may have to see if I can get away for the day. If I don't do something with diesels pretty soon I am just gonna die. Can't wait for the season to start up again. :-laf

Well, I got my numbers yesterday at The Dyno Store. Great place and nice dyno, but..... I will get to the dyno.



First, who ever is talking with David needs to tell him to move a few cars in that lot cuz it's gonna get awfully crowded back there with 10-15 trucks. The place is one Canoga Ave. between Devonshire and Lassen. It was kind of hard to find cuz it is in the back of the 10060 addressed building. You guyz will find it though.

Anyway, everything is white and I got the place it's supposed first coating of soot on the walls and ceiling so I am sure after Tim is done there will be a nice black spot on the ceiling. :-laf Mine doesn't put out enough top end smoke yet, so I didn't get the ceiling bad.

Ok, now to some numbers, I made 441. 3 hp and 933. 6 ft-lbs on my fourth run. I was all But the thing is there were a few issues with my first three runs. At first I only made about 389 hp and 850 torque and I was blown away and about to get my rig out and never go back. But after some checking in the software(which apparently was brand new and installed on Friday), there was a incorrect number in the torque correction factor and that brought me up to the more desirable numbers.

But another thing about this dyno is, YOU MUST tell the operator to max load the dyno. It is a load brake dyno and he had to put the load percentage up to 97%!!! I still got good numbers at 60% brake load but the ramp rate of my RPMs was insane in 4th gear and I couldn't build enough EGT or max boost since it reached 3100rpm so quickly. But after he maxed it out to the 97% rating it seemed to ramp slower and get a more accurate, solid power result. I asked the operator(Jeff) to go to 100% but I guess he said David told him never to go there. :-laf

Anyway, I am sure you guys will like this place and get some good solid numbers. I know I am going back there soon when I can find some more top end fueling and easily get above that 500hp mark! Wish I could have made it on the 17th but I will be packing up and goin' upstate for the holidays. I will check up on you guys that weekend, I am interested in how much more power Tim's rig makes than mr. oilers. There are lots of good places to eat down there Tim so choose wisely. :-laf

How far is it down to the dyno from Sacramento? I called and made an appointment at Imlars. Earliest i could get was mid January.

 

[TAlbiston]

That place will be all black by the time I'm done with it. Oo.

 

[ASchwartz]

Count Me In

I will be there.

 

[catoiler]

It's about 4 1/2-5 hrs south of ya!Tim if we run back to back they might have the fire dept. called! :-laf

 

[TAlbiston]

NO NO NO, In order to make black smoke you need to have power. You my friend don't make any HP. :-laf

Yeah, it's about 4-5 hours depending on how fast you drive :-laf This place can get you in anytime you want as far as I know, they had many appt. openings in the upcoming future.

I would go, but of course my truck is in about seven thousand pieces in the driveway, and I don't like dyno's anyway after the severe disappointment at Imlers. Oh well, if I have some time that day, I may cruise by to check it out and say hi, and of course bench race with Tim.

Hi All... Just picked up an 06 CTD. Its all new to me and want to meet other CTD owners. The dyno day sounds like fun, and good tool for future mods, but the truck only has 1K on it. Would it be safe to dyno it now?

I dynoed my 03 with 1,500 miles on it and it is running strong at 60,000 miles

 

[Nicki]

Newby Dyno

Thanks... . I didn't think it would hurt. I'll try to get a few more miles on it meantime. Really curious on what kinda power this puts out!

Think about about this Tom, I believe you dyno low 400hp, right. And you still did really good this year at the pulls. That just tells you it not all about dyno #'s or high hp! Oo.
