Load dyno or Inertia dyno

Where'd you find a dyno? I've got about 5 trucks we would like to dyno sometime. There's a diesel shop half way to kc that has one. Not sure if it's load or inertia, but I don't really trust the numbers since they want you to spend money with them
This is actually what you need to do regardless of which dyno you use. You need a competent operator that can duplicate runs , hopefully conditions will be close to the same and you have a BASE run prior to any enhancements.
You're 100% right Mack!!:thumb: This was my biggest issue.
This is exactly why I spent so much time trying to find a shop. I called 4 different places and even talked to the place I ended going to twice before I decided to give them a try. I actually bought a sand blaster from a guy that also recommended them. He said they do a great job and that the dyno operator if very good and does a hell of a job.
I'm not looking for BIG number like most people when getting on the dyno. I'm strictly after actual gains that each wheel has along with the gains I get out of my work. So an accurate, repeatable dyno setup was what I wanted. The dyno operator is really interested in what I'm doing and likes seeing I'm doing this for research.
Every time I go there the dyno operator checks that the computer and settings to make sure all is right so my data is accurate.

Nope!!
But, it indirectly helps me personally!! Hahaclrussell said:
They're in Kansas City, KS. KC Engines is the name of the place. They mainly build engines; from middled to wilded. He also does a good amount of chassis and engine tuning.
Great guy to deal with. He's always busy so you need to call and schedule an appointment.

Haha, if only you guys could pay me!!!
If I wasn't married or had a little boy thats always getting in to trouble I'd have all kinds of stuff done!! haha. I wouldn't be nearly as happy though without them:thumb:
Each wheel takes about 1 day to test. 3-4 hours to do the dyno testing from when I leave the house to getting back home being I'm not super close. Then about 3 hours to take GoPro video's and do all the different lag testing. Finally, 3-4 hours to swap in the next wheel!!:thumb:
But, I know you don't care James, you JUST WANT RESULTS!!!!
As I've texted you along the way, I've gotten some interesting results!!:woott:
For those that care, I've been updating my facebook page as I've tested each wheel.

Maybe I missed something but with a 366, built trans, and max effort tuning you should be in the 550-600 range on that dyno. The range being how hot the tune is and the health of the CP3.
Correct, he said he was doing ihi wheel testing and trying to get similar testing results to show the difference in the wheels.
For testing he's doing HP/tq isn't the only goal
You noticed that, too? I wasn't going to say anything, as I figured they were just going for consistency and not numbers, what with testing the different turbos and wheels.
Just to clarify so everybody is on the same page. The numbers I posted on 1/5/15 was for the IHI turbo's I've been testing.
My testing/dynoing is for the LB7 IHI in seeing the different characteristics and hp/torque gains of each wheel available for them.
I'm using Kory's tunes with my max effort being 230hp.
It has nothing to do with the S366. At the time I made this thread I had an S366 on my pickup and was considering dynoing it to see how it would do but decided not to.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused in that updated post, I should have been more clear.
