Dyno day anyone??

SHEPSM3 wrote: Ok, just figured this out, the correction factors were entirely different and last Saturday was a much hotter day than it was when I had my car mapped at Gerry's. Also the cooling fan is inside our dyno room at the moment, not outside, so the air being not as cold as it could have been. I was sweating Saturday whereas at Gerrys during the mapping of my car, it was nearly midnight and we were shivering. Warmer air, less power measurements at the wheels which is corrected by the dyno with transmission losses measured and calculated during the coastdown giving the same flywheel power figure. This dyno is spot on. Loving it!

Spoken to Gerry about this too who said our dyno is still "green" and tight. The power at the wheels will read lower for a while but the flywheel will remain the same. As everything beds in the wheel power will rise a little too.

Darren, unsure if you have visited the "other" site, but here is a pic of you and your car....very nice

Just what I was thinking, sure no one was spraying silicon on the rear tyres?
