On the Dyno
Well, we took another baby step toward getting the car sorted out. Hap scheduled a dyno run for me at Top Dead Center Auto in Spartanburg, SC.
As you followed, we had a less than stellar test day at CMP in July, though we solved those issues that only the track can reveal - tire rub.
So this time, we decided to take the less costly and lower involved dyno route to finish out the tuning process. So, Kevin Hart and I met Hap this morning for the runs. It was another mixed bag.
We got the timing dialed in and the fuel to air mix is good. But the computer never captured any data from the runs, so no hp numbers, no torque numbers, etc. But we discovered that there was a hidden issue with the rocker arm assembly that first revealed itself in Daytona.
So, there is some work to do. We also saw some dangerously high water temps with no real explaination as to why. I have some work and investigation to do.
Here are two links to short videos of the runs.

And two pictures of the car on the rack and out front of TDC Auto.
