Default Re: H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.

Todd, an experienced dyno operator will be invaluable to you. They understand trends and can give insight as to what the engine 'wants'. We're lucky to have have access to two great dynos and smart, smart, operators: Matt Steen and Jason Verke at Victory Engines in Marshall Minnesota and Bob Sherwood's private dyno here in Sioux Falls, S.D. On the last session, I learned a lot about oils and fuels, for example. And QJets in particular have certain characteristics at high rpm that the BSFC can help identify.

If you've never dyno'd before, it can be a bit unnerving at first. When the brake loads the engine and the rpm's start to climb that first time....





All the best for an informative session. -Al
