so how much do they cost? might sound like a nub question but whatever ive heard a lot of different answers and dunno what to consider true...that and i heard its as bad as having someone slam a sledgehammer into your motor....someone wanna clarify these statements for me?

So your trying to compair dynoing your car vs. someone hit your motor with a sledgehammer? No, dynoing your car is not the same thing.

Dynoing your car is pretty much like running on a tredmill, when running on the tredmill do you feel like your getting hit with a sledgehammer? No. Now, if the car is not built correctly and blows up on the dyno then it's not the dynos fault, it's the builders.

Again If you running on a tredmill and your uber out of shape, then yes it might feel like you got hit with a sledgehammer, but thats because your out of shape not the tredmills fault.

And I think dyno pulls at MRD at 75 bucks for 3 pulls.

Yes...it's horrible on your car. DON'T DO IT!!!!

And while you're at it, try the search button....shit may suprise you

The reason you hear of the horror stories surrounding dynamometers is because they're a tool used to tune a car. Especially with forced induction, if something is going to break, it's typically going to happen on the dyno until you get the bugs worked out. I have no idea who told you it's the equivalent of hitting you engine with a sledge hammer, but my advice would be to stay far away from that person.

Good tuners start slow and work their way to a perfect tune - it is something that generally takes more than 3 dyno pulls - hence the reason why they rent the thing by the hour......

dyno's are about $40,000 on ebay.

i don't think it is that bad. i mean do you run your car on the street sometimes? its the same as just getting on your car.

and at all aspects dyno is like $55 for 3 pulls

hahaha yeah, friend told me it was like hitting your shit with a sledgehammer but he didnt go into too much detail, cause im getting a built turbo II so i wanted to know how much hp it was pushin out and if the dyno was gonna fuck up my car

with all due respect your friend is most likely down syndrome.


try to do it on a "dyno day" that most local shops will have maybe once a year. youll save a lot of money usually.

for instance at steen racing in norfolk 3 pulls is right around 75 bucks, but i hit a dyno day and payed 40

I know some may find this hard to believe, but Steen went out of business.
