Best of luck doing your testing. When we raced,I enjoyed dyno testing
as much as or more than actual racing. The last dyno session we had
was at FJ Smith's with our comp engine. Spent the better part of one
day there. A fond memory for sure.

Jimmy, I'll assume this will be the first of many Dyno outings I hope. First engine Dyno for me so I'm pretty excited. Should have it on tomorrow and make some pulls Thursday.

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

AI, I know I'll be better informed at the end with much more to be learned later.
