I have 350 miles on my car.. but I want to start getting real dyno numbers this comming weekend or next. I'm worried though with the stress that they will put on my car. Also someone told me that dynos are setup different for certain cars.. ex. supra tt: and mustang?? something with sae??

Wait till the 1k mark and posibly wait after your first oil change. Make sure you're breaking the car in right too. Give it some tough love. Don't baby it like some of these guys think is right.

umm.. ok.. I was going to do an oil change at 1K anyway. Maybe I will set up an appointment with the dealer to get my gas tank and an oil change. maybe strips.. but thats over done already

stress on a DYNO??? HOW? Just wondering.... messing around on the street puts more stress on youre car than a dyno... There is not really any stress from a dyno. You can dyno it any time you want.

you know.. the .... stress.. dont they have to lay into it and red line the crap out of it?? [sm=boohoo.gif]

Yeah, Casper.... You're supposed to keep a new under about 4k rpms for a certain amount of time. I too would wait for the 1k mark...

Then GO GO DYNO!

Shifty

No, it's just good to let the engine wear in before you go there so you get the right numbers. That under 4k stuff is nonsense.

Leave it to casper to start trouble... unlike me

Your rings and cam shafts need to break in alittle bit, then that baby is ready to be driven. Less than 500 miles... Your transmission and rear are ready to go after alittle driving.

Thanks guys.. I have about 450mi on it now and will try to rack up more.. its hard when I'm only 10 min from work.. haha.. but I think I will just wait the 1K do the oil change and then get some good base numbers to go off of.
