Down in Port Charlotte at Harbor Nissan they are having a dyno day from 10am-7pm with food and drink provided. Its $50 for 3 pulls which is a good deal. I think we are having a nice convoy of trucks heading that way if anyone is interested or not SCARED!

Let's me out, It's sale day at the fair

P***y....... J/kLet's me out, It's sale day at the fair

whats the point of dynoing a truck if the dyno isnt accurate?

the next time we have an event there, it will be more accurate. they have to get the sensor that reads off the harmonic balancer. they said they will get that as soon as they can. they want us to pick a date and make it an actual diesel dyno day. Im refering to the guys at REV EXTREME and not harbor nissan cause they suck! :D

oh ok. I was just wondering because everybody tells me that Dunbars is the true diesel dyno. I was wondering what makes it accurate and what makes the others not so accurate?

Dyno's are really made for tuning. Get on a dyno and tune until you make your best #'s. They have now for most just become a way to make a # for bragging rights.

Every brand dyno reads different, hell even the same brand down the street can read alittle different than the other.

A dynojet model 248c has become the benchmark in the diesel world. This is what i believe Dunbar and Maddog use.

I have no experiance with these. I do have experiance with a Mustang 1100 series. I have put numerious pulls on one, and with back to back runs they always come out exactly the same as the last. That is awsome consistency. And consistency is very hard to find with some other brands. With my experiance the Mustang 1100 runs aprox 10% under what the 248 model runs.

#'s taken from a dynojet and then run thru a 1/4 mile calc I am told match actual 1/4 mile #'s. THis i can not verify, just what i am told. I do not have easy axcess to a 248 or a 1/4 mile though to find for myself. But this is the supposed reasoning why the 248 has become "the" dyno to use by others.

In my eyes all you need is to a find a "good" dyno and operator and stay with that one while setting up your truck. You need only to get #'s to work with, it really does not matter who's dyno as long as you stick with the same one.

Hope this helps.

Dynos are heart breakers.. haha.. Thanks again for having us.. I'll try to be there if you have another one..

Personally i like to refer to a dyno as "The Great Humbler".


And Allen is already hitting me up for a date for the next dyno day.

You are correct AND the person in the truck can make #'s do some strange things. :D
