Dyno Vs.Drag Strip Testing

j par said
The track is a comparative tool as well? I mean people don't want to beat it up on the track but they're more than willing to put it on a test machine and let some stranger take test pulls? LOL.... How long does each test pull take? 10 -12 seconds maybe more.. gauges are red - AF gauge horsepower and torque...
On the track you're going to take what a 10-12 second run and read your AF gauge and record your speed and ET...

YES.....

Is this thread going to turn into a fiasco...

The dyno is much easier on the engine than the track is.

You can figure out how long any dyno pull will last one the stick is down.

Just figure 600 RPM per second and then calculate the time from the RPM you are starting the pull to the RPM at the end of the pull you’ll see how long it takes.

Of course, this only works with a water brake dyno. An inertia dyno (talking engine dyno’s not wheel dyno’s) won’t have a set rate of acceleration.

I’ll be using an inertia dyno.
