where are my numbers??? i thik they were 412hp and 878tq with me holding the nitrous bottle to the turbo cracked open and jit driving .:D that was fun

Sorry, I just took a picture of the board before I left, and your numbers werent up yet. Here is your video....:D

LOL... Aint you supposed to wait till your in top gear...

Am I the only one with no sound?

what do yo mean?

I could hear it shift. Which is gonna spike the dyno and your not gonna get a true number. Gonna be higher than the real number.

Which is still lower than the REAL number since there is no load on that dyno.

Nothing a little brake pedal cant help out. David loaded Bobbys truck on that dyno, and hit pretty well. But yes. Will also throw a lower number.

There was only a 10hp difference from that dyno to "THE" Dyno(Dunbars). But once again, Dyno numbers mean nothing. Its a tuning tool to see differences. Its the ability to use what you have whethter it be at the track or hooked to the sled... 1/4 mile ET's are the true calculation of power.

Hang on so your saying a shift spike will cause a low number? Or a no load dyno will? The load only helps the turbo spool if needed. Dave knew how to get Bobbys turbo lit & Kyles didn't need that much load cause a stock charger doesn't need as much. I'm only referring to them because I watched those videos. Kyles were pretty close to Smokin & I'm only speculating (Dave can correct me if I'm way off here) Dynoing turbo trucks are tricky sometimes, Dynos measure correctly but can you get it lit on said dyno for an accurate reading, that is the question. Dynos are a tuning tool at best. Sounds like it was a success & all had fun :thumb:

ON EDIT: Sorry Kyle didn't mean to quote you like that ;)

i dont know what anyone is talking about. "I just wanna go fast!"

i dont know what anyone is talking about. "I just wanna go fast!"

is that soo, Ricky Bobby...:pound:

i dont know what anyone is talking about. "I just wanna go fast!"

Ill let you drive mine then.....:D

Or a no load dyno will?


yea, no load means no boost (read: less boost) Leon was at 40PSI on that dyno, on the track and on the sled he pushes way more than that.

I will agree that a STOCK turbo can boost fairly well without a load.

What i was saying was that even with the shift spike (higher #) is should still be less than if the truck had optimal boost which would be achieved (sp?) by having a load on it.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here
More boost does not always mean more HP. You can have way more HP with less boost the a truck actually sees sometimes. It's all about the maps not always boost. People like large boost numbers & equate that to HP, it's not always that way.

Boost & horsepower go hand in hand to a point. Too much boost can result in less HP

A shift spike on a dyno is always a much higher reading no matter what kind on dyno you are on. I will agree though you may not get as much boost as on the street. That is why the drag strip tells the real HP story. Way too much is made about dynos. The real test is at the track whether it be drags or pulling sleds.

Below is JMO:
Based on some posted 1/4 mile times on some of the trucks that were there that dyno was pretty close.

that dyno was real close. When i got on dunbars dyno back in alabama, my truck put down 612hp. That was when my truck was running a consistant 12.6 and would hit an occasional 12.5. Bobby's truck now runs the same times my truck did and his truck put down the same exact HP as mine did. A shift spike will put down more HP than the truck really has. Back months ago, Mike's dually spiked just a hair under 700hp. That means that truck will run a 12.2-12.3 in the 1/4. Thats pretty darn fast, but i would have to see it. If your dyno sheet doesnt have a smooth power curve, then i would never consider it a good run IMO.

For anyone interested there is another Dyno day being put on by SRQ Racing.net this saturday. they said $50 for three runs, but if you are a member of their forum you can run for $25 for three runs. Id sign up over there to save the $25 if anyone is going. Heres the link: http://afterhoursdiesel.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=841
