I now have serious issues with above ground dynos!!!! Specially after this weekend on the one at the ranch.
That was one of the scariest things I have done in a long, long time!
Matt said my eyes where as big as an apple and I can believe it. The floor anchors are not grade 8.
I will say Jason and Shannon (owners) are both great people. I had the car on the dyno 3 times this weekend with now success. :-(
What's with the floor anchors... did you break them?
I think the car jumped up off the rollers. :shock:Quote:

No, I didn't break them. I just was looking at them after the first 3 runs!
The concrete was cracked around them and I was told that I did that!
Hey John, I thought with you needing to add ballast to bring your car up to minimum weight, you only needed to make 300/320? Why such a beast of a mill for the new AI23?Quote:

Car is not tuned yet, way to lean! I need to fatten it up in many ways. ;-)
Your motor is to heavy, I would need to get more HP out of it and we know what happens to a stock mod motor when you do that. ;-)
BTW, the accessories and all components are the heavy parts.
Well, installing the A/C back in the car would help you make weight and I happen to have the full system in my attic! Hell, i will even weld it onto your car for you! :wink:Quote:

I could easily build a 2V with ported heads, flat tops for about 13:1 compression, a proper set of cams and kick the snot out of most old windsors! Course, you might have $10k in the motor but it would work and be quite a bit lighter in the ALUMINUM version! If I had a larger set of cams in my car it would probably put down 360rwhp....but alas, I just have little cams... :P
