    That is the question. When building a new motor or rebuilding an existing motor, (making some changes) do you throw it on the dyno? Why or why not?

    Gordie spends more time on the dyno than anyone I know.

    I would do it except I ran out of money just after I bought a couple of spark plugs... Sure hope they last the whole year...

    So you are saying you would dyno if you had the money? I was just reading on The V drive site about the whole timing and dyno issue.. thought I would bring it up over here.

    I would love to dyno the new motor but we are out of money and out of time... I think that Art dosen't see much use in it from his posts on Az Don's site but we haven't even talked about it since we are out of time... I would really like to see how and where the motor puts out the torque and HP. Oh well, we don't have the time anyway... Maybe next year.

    I think the blown injected deals require a dyno that can handle that kind of power. I have never been around when a K motor was dynoed. I heard the motor in Chuck Boyds boat made over 1600hp. When I first started boat racing I was totally against dynoing. I thought it was pointless and a waste of money. Fast forward to today and I think you are crazy if you dont dyno a new motor or altered motor.

    Art Anderson doesn't need a dyno, he revs his motors to redline while squeezing the dampner in one hand manually measuring its resistance.
    And no, he doesn't hurt the dampner...

    I would not use one unless I personally knew the operator and can be there to over see it!..
    I am particularly interested in this response. What are you implying Art? Are you saying that dyno operators are disreputable?
