i think the dyno conversation would be great
i have never been on a dyno so any information would be appreciated
as far as EMC- pretty good platform to make power in certain rpm parameters
debate all you guys want,i am happy for the discussion
Steve, do you know what brand of dyno you will be using ? That will help in suggestions on it's use.
A few things to do before your dyno day.
Find out what fuel size connections they use so you'll know what to have in your carb.
Find out if you need a starter or if the dyno has one built in.
Find out oil pressure fitting size and have that in your engine when you get there.
Find out if they use an oil temp probe in the oil drain plug, if so leave your oil out till your there.
Find out if you need your flywheel.
Find out if you will be able to use your headers and make sure you get whatever size adapters you need to get the ex hooked up.
Find out if you will need your own fuel or if they provide it.
Some dyno shops are much better than others at these things.
Bring an extra set spark plugs incase you drop one or break one somehow.
Make sure you have jets bigger and smaller than what's in the carb you will be using. Bleeds to if they are replaceable.
Bring your own timing light to compare to the one they have.
If you can, get a timing light set up on the timing marks that you can see from the dyno console. That way you can watch a few pulls to see if it's stable or moving around under load. ( I've seen some that did)
If your not too far away stop by and see the set up.
The more prepared the sooner you will be making useful pulls instead of chasing problems.
