My guess is the dyno broke.

My guess is the dyno broke.
Long story short, they strapped Dan's car down by the floorboard, it came off the dyno and they said the power peaked at 4000rpm anyway.
I didn't even run my car after that. Chris made like 290.
Good times.
I blew 70 bucks on race gas for nothing weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Dan's car was going to make well over 500.
Well, Dan's car is apparently too powerful for this dyno..

im seriously pissed off right now. They strapped the car by some sheet metal under the drivers side, as soon as it went into boost it tore the metal and ^ that ^ was the result. They wouldnt touch the car after that. Fkn sucks. total retardedness. will be going to a legit dyno shop VERY soon to get this done. :(
287 to be exact ;), and 327lbs torque.. I'm happy with the numbers given it was a mustang dyno.Quote:

A fixed roller with a fixed diameter and a fixed weight is less accurate than a dyno where you have to input 100 different calibrations.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
And they also were insisting on doing only 3rd gear pulls of our cars at first.Quote:

Both times I went to dyno, they strap it down by the subframe.
they actually did have it strapped to the subframe, ratcheted straight forward. and in the rear as well. but the lateral restraints were WRONG. i tried to tell them that after the fact, but they said they were done. :/
unfortunately i never saw exactly what they did initially, i just figured they knew what they were doing.
Chris' car ran without issue so i never even thought twice about it.
You're supposed to cross the front restraints also, they were straight.
I'm glad I went first lol. Otherwise they probably would have told me no as well.Quote:
