Dyno Vs.Drag Strip Testing

If I built my own stationary dyno, I would probably build it so that i could change the angle of attack to somewhat simulate G forces. Imagine a weighted string hanging from your rear view mirror as a visual indicator of G force. If the car were accelerating at 1G, the angle of that string would be 45 degrees. For a stationary dyno to somewhat replicate 1G of acceleration, nose of the engine would need to angle up 45 degrees. For 2G of accel, the nose would have to angle up about 63 degrees! Imagine the affects on the oiling system, float levels and carb calibration. Makes you wonder why there isn't more performance difference between carbs and efi. No wonder T56's need a pump to spray oil on the head gears.

Grant stop thinking outside the box it scares these guys!...
