How much does it cost to use a DYNO ?

How much does it cost to use a DYNO, not an engine Dyno but

the kind where you strap the car on it and let it run?

Jus like to know how much HP some upgrades will make ove stock.

Horsepower Freaks/Torque Freaks is a dyno and aftermarket specialist in Portland. They put on "Dyno Days" every once in awhile, where you can come and run your car on their rollers for about $35.

Thats pretty cool...I'd never heard of them. Where are they located in the Portland area?

They're on airport way. Head east away from I-205 until you'd turn right to go to Costco. Instead, turn left, and they should be right there on your left.

Freaking Awesom!

35 bucks!, Thats pretty cheap

I heard or read somewhere it was $500 which I thought was rediculous, thyanx.

Any one know of any Dynos in the Sacromento, CA area by

chance or Bay Area?

You of theam all the time on Horse Power TV, the Speed Channel and in

most magazines.

Dsport, (see my signiture below), speaks of them all the time.

The best numbers are the ones broken down into "wheel" Horse Power and

not the numbers refering to power made at the flywheel instead.

After all its the power to the ground that matters.

I mainly want to see what some of the more simlple MSA

upgrades will do like the aluminum radiator and electric water pump and

high capacity oil pump.

As wells as a header test like the old 6 into 2 versus the 6 into 1 debate

backed with solid numbers for a change, unless thats already

been done :cheeky:.

Dyno time is typically $100 an hour with a one time charge of $50 for the first strap down.

The $35 deal is for 3 pulls only most likely.

A wheel dynamometer would measure power at the wheels, and then use an equation assuming 15% or so powertrain loss to determine Brake Horsepower (power at the flywheel).

An engine dyno would do just the opposite.

BTW: That 15% varies depending on many factors.

Thanks for the info Jonnyrock, I'll checking into them.
