DFW dyno? - Competition Diesel.Com

TXUMSC · 08-23-2022, 12:13 PM

Looking for a dyno in/near/around DFW. I called a few shops and nobody knows anything. Any help is appreciated.

Damn, and here I thought Texas was the king of shops that had diesel performance in the company name. Just a quick Google of shops in that area came back with 10 or so. I did see a shop called Whitehorse Dyno and tuning, but didn't see anything about diesels.

I tried the google machine and made quite a few calls with no help from anyone. The closest I could find a dyno was in Abilene. I was told they get attention where it isn't wanted so most diesel shops don't use them. I even talked to LMDiesel who runs with Chris Patterson quite a bit and he didn't have a suggestion. I'm just going to make some numbers up I guess.

You can always get a trap speed and do some calculations haha

Isn't there an app for that?

Horsepower Calculator, calculate hp from et, trap speed, calculate tire diameter, mph and rear end ratio.

Yea I got one from Wallace racing for 1/8 and one from this site I believe for 1/4. Go to main page and you can find it there I believe.

I like the idea of making up your own number. Let's just go with say.. 700

See, now you're picking up what I'm putting down.
Those crazy Miller boys out at Firepunk have ruined the childrens of today. Now everyone needs that easily attainable 1000 plus reliable HP.

TXUMSC · 08-23-2022, 06:10 PM

I tow on my 1000 hp setting with stock 48, but that’s just me.

TXUMSC · 08-23-2022, 06:11 PM

Still looking for a real dyno.

Red Sleeper · 08-23-2022, 08:55 PM

What about crossing over the red river? Isn’t the 405 very well known for fast vehicles? Must be some dyno’s around there.

I know a few around the Houston area. The high school 10 min from my house has one.

TXUMSC · 08-23-2022, 09:49 PM

Must be a nice high school!

It would be nice if stock fasteners were studs, but we're stuck with them bolts from the git go.

bateman · 08-24-2022, 06:30 AM

But them bolts been like 9’s right? Haha I don’t mind them myself

Marq92 · 08-24-2022, 06:48 AM

I'm sure that was on a decompressed motor. On a street truck where I'd want things as clean and as much low end as possible I don't think you could take make them reliably hold as much power. They will definitely hold more power than stock, but it's mainly a pet peeve of mine when I see "stock studs".

I had a Stage VI chip on my '98. Butt dynoed 789/1283 the day I posted it for sale.
