hey ive never seen a dyno run or know how it works...what do you do? a full throttle pull in first gear and thats it? im assuming it has some load on the drum right so you dont redline right away

Re:dynos

most people usually do their pulls in fourth gear, as far as a partial pull in 1st, not really, you're just changin gears to get to the desired gear that you want to do your pull

Re:dynos

All our runs were in third gear.

EDIT: Avatars are supposed to be 85x85 by the way...

Re:dynos

Use the gear that is closest to a 1:1 ratio.

And unless you know the guys at the dyno, and have done it before, you will probably not drive your own car on the dyno.

Re:dynos

That's weird... my BMW M3 has a 1:1 ratio in 5th gear... does that mean i'd need to do my pulls in 5th gear??

sort of stupid question--no dyno needed because the car is bone stock anyway.
