Mayf:
1. I am willing to pay for dyno time
2. Not willing to come to Nevada to get it, when it is available much closer.
3. Ever run a dyno? Full-power for 3 or 4 minutes is extreme, and my references
say that it not usually needed for accurate engine set-up. In my own dyno
experience (13 years), I was always taught to stay at WOT just long enough to
get
the data (typically, less than 30 seconds). Still, I managed to wreck several
engines at WOT. I would rather just "touch" the full power points to get
everything mapped correctly, and save the 3 minutes at max stress for the actual
Bonneville runs. The other things one would learn from a simulated Bonneville
pass on a dyno-- well, I'd rather just do my best to calculate right-- save my
engine life for the actual runs-- and take my chances.
4. There might be a time I would benefit from a dyno on the salt-- if so, I'd
be
glad to pay for time. However-- since I will likely always use ECUs, I hope I
won't need a dyno out there; one "pull" should do it for each engine
cnfiguration.
