Posted 26/03/05 05:33 AM Share Posted 26/03/05 05:33 AM Just got back from EasterNats and I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping to do ok in the dyno comp but the car didn't read very high. The dyno comp is run by Mike's Dyno Tuning in Dandenong and they apparently can measure fwkw's on a chassis dyno. He said it was real acurate on manuals but was sometimes a little out on autos. He gave me a reading of 339.6fwkw's. I believe that I have 328.7rwkw's.If this is correct then I must be a legend to be able to get 1850kg (car fuel and me) down the 1/4 mile with a 123mph. I tried explaining that the car must have more and that the dyno was reading wrong. He said there is a small margin for error in the auto's. I pointed out what the car had done on the track and said if he still thought what the dyno said was correct. He said if that's what the dyno said that's what the car has. I pointed out that the car also had a 2700stall and he said that would have a little affect but that 339.6fwkw's would still be pretty acurate.Talk about a complete idiot. He even had a mate there trying to support him and telling me about various other cars that were also running mid 11's with 340fwkw's. Wghen I asked what sort he said VL Commadore's and similar. I pointed out that my car was 400kg heavier and he just said that the dyno is correct.I'm not happy and would like to be able to do something to rectify this but don't think I have any options. What are peoples thoughts?Geea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent had my car drynoed since but I know it takes alot more power than that to run a mid 13 sec pass.Hope this helps and look forward to seeing you at the nats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 26/03/05 07:28 AM Author Share Posted 26/03/05 07:28 AM I know that I shouldn't let it get to me, but I am. I hate being hard done by. Usually when I'm hard done by I'm able to rectify the situation. I don't see any way where I can do that in this instance, too many witnesses. Geea.
