Hey all, been searching around and couldn't really find anyone who does engine dynos for ls engines. Been building my engine for sometime now and almost finished with it. I have rebuilt many engines but nothing of this caliber and want to make sure it is right and broken in when I throw it in my V. I live just south of Dallas so I am looking for someone near the DFW area. For those who are curious this is what I have now on my engine

LQ9 block bored and stroke to 414.6
Mahles 2cc pistons
Eagles 4" in crank and H-rods
COMP GM LS LS1 289/305 .624/.624 114° LSR RECTANGULAR PORT CAMSHAFT
PRC LS3 Aftermarket 6-Bolt 260cc CNC Cylinder Heads
Ls3 rocker with trunions
Fast LSXR 102mm Intake

my compression ratio is about 11.8:1, Been building this motor for a long time and since i got out of the Navy I have more time to actually be a gear head again so I am pretty excited. I am about to order the Creative Steel 8.8 after taxes come in and going to ship out the tranny to tickshift when I have everything pulled out. I dont know what to do about the exhaust yet, since I am in Texas I have state inspections. Let me know what you guys think. I am hoping to be finished by the end of this year as long as i dont get any surprise bills

Not an expert for sure, but I'd imagine engine dynoing a modern engine with all the computer stuff would be a pain. You'd need a hundred different wire harnesses and stuff.

I'd think it would be easier to put it in a car, hook it up and once it'll idle and move around, strap it to a chassis dyno.

Or am I overthinking it?

thats what I have been getting from some local shops, but if I have a turn key ready engine it shouldnt be too bad I dont think
