How much can I expect to spend for chassis dyno time? I'm only looking to do a few pulls for the time being, probably just quick adjustments in between rounds, no major changes ------------------ 1965 GT coupe, 333ci aluminum headed/solid cammed stroker, four speed, all Blue Oval, no blue bottle... steer it with your right foot http://mustangsandmore.50megs.com/V8Thumper.html

Anything over $5 an hour is too much in my book! ------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/IHRA/SRA member and licensed Superstock driver MCA member# 53321 NHRA and IHRA SS/LA National Record Holder '00, '01, & '02 Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 Professional Manwhore The Barry of BarrysGrrl Quote #1: "I never met a magazine mechanic I liked."

I've never used a Dyno myself. I'm not saying they aren't useful. It's just been too easy to go to the track for a little test N tune. I have a friend who breaks all his motors (SBC)in on a stand. It is a REALLY nice set-up. He tunes it, sets rocker arms,timing, breaks in springs and cams. Wonderful thing, I like it. He asked me why I don't have one. I pointed to my car and said I do have one. ------------------ Jerry Smith 69 Mustang Pro ET Drag 70 Mustang retired former footbrake car "Crawfish are Lucky! they get their Heads Sucked and their tails eaten!"

Found it http://www.dynojet.com/lauto.shtml Good luck. I'm also not sure how up to date that database is. But I would also do a search on yahoo yellow pages on "dyno". You might get a lot of stuff to weed through, but it might be worth it. Erik ------------------ 1966 Ford Mustang 2+2 Mine - Restomod in Progress 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe Dad's - Original Unrestored
