2009 Fall Dyno day- callouts and curiosities

[Swifty1638]

Who's your brother, and what does he have?

[scheides]

Ya, no way I will have a DSM on the dyno. Waaaay to much to do, I want to do it right this time around, and then when I'm done I will still have a tranny that grinds in 2nd lol. My brother might be coming with if I can talk him into it and he should get the highest numbers of the day if he does.

Get that thing done already!

That's funny, there were two dudes with 1970's cameros that came last time that were damn sure they were gonna take top numbers...one made just over what my wife's car put down and the other made almost 300whp :D

[CVD]

I'm curious to see if I can break the 200whp barrier with the 11b, It's going to make monster torque either way though I'm sure.

[mlomker]

Okay, what the hell. I doubt that I'll be tuned by then but nothing wrong with a baseline.

I might have to make this event. The car is down for the moment, but if all goes well tomorrow I should be able to make it with a tweaked tune and a few more lbs from my baseline run at MAP...

I will dyno for sure if I can find someone with the bluepoint snap on YA9140A tool for doing valve stem seals without taking the head off. Anyone? Right now it just smokes like a bitch under decel :( and I am not dynoing it like that.

You could do the nylon rope in the cylinder trick, or compressed air. Air worked for me.

Jim (TalonFiero) has one, I believe.

Ill do the rope trick but how do I compress the valvespring? I need that tool. I wanna hit the dyno real bad! Ill be at 35psi or more if there is enough fuel pump on my 2.3. What estimate numbers anyone think that could put down? 6xx?

[FattyBoomBatty]

You can rig something up. I once clamped two pieces of wood together with another thin one between them as a spacer, then leaned on it with my chest and pulled the keepers out, haha. Good thing they don't have a whole lot of seat pressure, anything over about 150lbs would be very hard to do this method. And I'm not sure about dsm heads, but if you can access the valve springs, you can rent a valve spring compressor from vato zone or Ho'reily's.
