Re: so this is what 500rwhp sounds like
Let me clear some stuff up here.
1) There is no problem with the truck on the jack stands. The truck is tied down with 8 tie downs and is more secure and does not move around because the front suspension is what causes the truck to move around. Please do not compare a very unfortunate accident with a floor jack to a set of jack stands.
(If you want to see scary see how a car on the ground moves around on a dyno)
2) The purpose of the dyno is to safely tune a vehicle without making multiple passes on the track or even worse the street. Oh and for the record we only spent 2 hours doing it.
3) Torque readings from a chassis dyno with a automatic transmission and a non lockup converter are wrong anyway.
4) If the front wheels are in the air or the propshaft is missing the dyno reading will be the same. I would bet since we are losing power in the viscous coupling it will actually make more power on the 4 wheel dyno not less. remember if you pull your front propshaft out and put your Syclone or Typhoon in park on a hill it will roll away....got it?
5) The only thing here that was getting abused was the viscous coupling
6) My pump gas street car on the same dyno showed 845 to the rollers. It went 9.21/148 @3600lbs so you do the math and then tell me if we have a happy dyno or not.
7) No matter how much power Don's truck makes He is happy and you guys should try to support him instead of bashing.
8) last but not least, Where I come from we race cars not dynos.
