I've just been thinking about a forum that would allow dyno operators to get together and discuss dyno techniques and technical details without the noise that comes from the never-ending debate about which dyno is better, which dyno gives the highest bragging numbers, etc.

For instance, I have a Mustang dyno, and would enjoy exchanging info with other Mustang dyno operators.

As far as "what do I need to know," I'm always in learning mode...

We have two Mustang dyno's and think this would be a fairly cool idea.

Do you think it would be better to try and get one of the existing forums to set up a dedicated "dyno operators" forum, or maybe a new forum broken down by type and manufacturer? I can set up phpBB or whatever on a server I have available. I just know that for a lot of people, one more forum to check messages on is just another PITA...

I have the DynoJet 224xlc and have not set it up yet, but it seems really basic.

I think its a great idea. Esp if its dyno owner/operators ONLY. That way we could debate amongst ourselves, without the chatter of everyone else. Similar to the sponsors forum. Not even visible to everyone else.
For instance, I have a small group of guys coming to me (I own a DJ248) just to see what their results are, because the dyno shop they've been using (dyno dynamics) is accused of manipulating the numbers. Would def make for a heated discussion!!
Edit: As soon as someone has this 'said' forum, I'll sign on!!
