Will you dyno before and after mods?
 

Answer the poll!

Where's the "No, I have no money" option? :(

"No, I'm too cheap/lazy" will work.

That one!

I do my own Dyno Plotz......;)

Steve can you dyno my car?!

Too Lazy!

LOL....:tup:

You can use that one!

Depends on what addition is being made, I was early on the Takeda so I went ahead and did it. If I had gone Stillen anything probably not since there are enough graphs already, though I will probably do a final run after I do all my additions I feel I want.

I'm going to try to schedule a baseline dyno and then come back after I do my injen intake and then come back when I have my FI CBE. If they are too expensive, though, I'm just going to have Steve dyno my car through e-mail or instant-messenger. He uses some crazy technologies like paint.

Yes I plan on going to the track this fall and also getting a baseline done just to she what it is making after its broken in with a few thousand miles



DAN

I believe this is a important thing to do, it's like taking pictures of a baby.
keep records of the car's performance as it grows up :P

Getting my baseline this Saturday. :)

I'm doing my mods at the tuner shop before my tune. So I have a pre-mod baseline thrown in free (gee thanks, my tune will cost like $600 lol...I guess "free" is relative)

I like these results!!! :icon18:

Now that I think on it, I believe I have a dyno like this rattling around in my head too...

Old school thread. :icon17:

Awesome :tup:

Baseline butt dyno to after mod butt dyno works best of all. There are enough baseline dynos out there to get a good idea of where you are starting, so an after mod dyno worked well for me and my budget (yeah, too cheap)!

Nah, Modshack Paint dyno is way more accurate than real dyno or butt dyno. :tup:

I must agree, those were most impressive!

Sorry guys, but here is my take on Dyno #'s for the sake of just running a vehicle on a dyno. It's like whipping your wang out to brag & thinking it's going to be huge, when you might find yourself disappointed to find out it's not as big as you thought.
Peak hp means nothing, if you are losing torque & power elsewhere or it's not trackable. Now dyno tuning & gearing for a track, specific track is better imho or to look for power in your style of driving makes sense. Take AutoX, peak hp is not going be useful if you are giving up power down low for launch & exits.

Sorry guys I see this dyno thing way to much in the bike world & it means nothing if it's not usable.

:twocents:

Independent dynos > dynos from the shop selling their parts

More dynos to determine range of typical gains > fewer dynos and wishful thinking my numbers match expectations

Data that tells me if my money was well spent > Speculation over what my butt feels

You can examine changes under the curve as well as peak gains.

Dynos provide useful data :tup:

Where is, It's too late I've done my mods for a baseline.

Option 2, methinks.

I WISH it was feasible for me to dyno before and after any mods I do. But I'm not a baller by any means, and I don't even know any shops around here that have dynos. :(
Wouldn't trust any that I find with tuning either for that matter.
