64414, Dyno tuning...
Posted by eclipse98rsHRC, Dec-09-03 10:50 AM
Another "first" for me is this trip to the dyno. Have no idea what to expect, what to look for, or potential problems-other than obviously blowing up the motor. Would some of you veterans have some advice and/or share your experiences? TIA

Make sure (if they offer it) that along with the dyno u also get an 02 reading too (this way you can see if your running rich or lean)... Ummm, other than that its straight forward... Get on the dyno, shift up to fourth gear (without reving the engine hard) then romp on it in fourth... Pretty straight forward... Are u gonna be installing anything between runs??

Nothing new to install,just need to tune what I have! Is a "12" a good number to tune for,or something a little more rich? Looking to tune somewhere around 18lb of boost.

I would shoot for around an 11.5 AFR. Nothing to do really besides hand your car over to the professionals. Good luck! I hope you pull some great numbers.

Be sure to post them.
