Lots of Fords and imports in that video...

Most of the imports are FWD. I know the guy who dynoed mine years ago refused to allow anyone but himself to drive FWD on the dyno because if it's not aligned right, the car will jump. Plus, if a moron gets behind the wheel, they act like they're driving down the road and just ****** themselves right off the dyno.


I was amazed at how putting an even fatter guy on the back of that one car seemed to make ti work better. I was just laughign like "What idiots" but it worked....

WoW `Tyler, great find & thanks for posting/sharing...

I've learned, Don't do drugs or dyno your rides

I'll do my testing on the track & let the #'s & times speak for themselves 4-Sure...
I believe you have to let all your horses `run & not tie them down with ropes/cables/chains & say giddy `Up @ MAX...
(or floor it & hold @ MAX RPM's) 2 me that's ABUSE of a Engine & the owners should be arrested by the Auto Police

I sure don't want to get hit in the head with a horse shoe drive shaft, piston, auto parts, etc or burn `up in auto HELL I don't want to make payments on a blown up car I can't drive & don't have the $'s to repair : (

I wonder if the owners in the vid returned for another test after they repaired their rides ? It's a sad vid, but it made a very impressive point to everyone that viewed "To dyno test, or not to dyno test ?"
I shall not, but I'll race `ya




^ Click above 2 watch Race ^ it's 13 sec's
========================

This has been my contribution to keep this
thread going... I did not want to `Step on
DubStep'in....EnJoy the Vid's above...
Racing & Dyno's are Expensive 4-Sure

^ I quit, I outa here 4-Sure^
But it was `FUN (LOL) Peace/Out from
