Checking your engine performance on a chassis dyno?

[Jerry Clayton]

I disagree-----

People go to dynoes either to solve a problem or looking for that BIG number to brag about and generally its looking for the big number---

You went in there with out a rev limiter (which you are going to need for yourself or you'll be over revving that 289 pretty bad) and the operator had lots of things to watch----generally they'll be watching the O2 readings for mixture ---

And in Cobras, the tack/gauges are probably the worst arranged of any vehicle for seeing what's going on temp/pres/rev and drive the car.(its actually easier on a race track than in street traffic)

And----usually the limits of the engine are valve train related, not bearing issues----

And---you probably signed a wavier before they tied it down----
