Well, next week is my spring break so myself, SSlow4.8, and a friend of ours with a 2002 Trans Am decided to hit up the local dyno. They're offering $65 for 3 pulls on a loaded Mustang Dyno. The only problem is, none of us have dynoed before and we don't want to walk in there looking like complete idiots. So, does anyone have any good advice or can tell us basically what goes on and what we as the drivers need to do? Thanks.

 

i have yet to get on a dyno myself. i am curious to know the answers as well.

 

do any of you have efilive?

 

nope, hpt

 

do you know if you can comand the converter to lock up with hpt?

 

All I do is pull into the parking lot. Hand the keys to the tuner and grab a soda. They back it on, run the truck and computer and I get to watch the show. The truck is gonna bounce around a little as it shifts through gears and when the converter locks up. Felt almost like it was coming off the dyno but the tuner didn't even blink so I kept my cool. Anything in particular you are wanting to know?

 

as far as i know you can. BigKID does my tuning for me and he did some funky stuff while playing around. locking it in 3rd, etc. so yea i am sure you can command the converter to lock up.

 

We aren't going to be tuning... just getting some numbers. I really want to see what the 06 5.3 will do stock with the e-fans and all from GM.

 

Yes you can

 

I'll second that

HPT can also command a third gear start if you want along with a variety of other settings (command specific AFR, etc.)
