About to hit the dyno. Any suggestions?? Hey guys like the title says I'm about to get the car on the rollers. Everything is mechanically sound. Tuner wants a couple cans of gas and I'm gonna leave him a pail of VP M1 and some boost cooler in case he doesn't want to go full meth. New set of plugs.
Anything else y'all can suggest??

I went full OCD and made a list for mine lol.
Fresh pump in the tank, 5-gal pail of M1 which we barely made a dent in, tool chest, extra plugs, plug gapper, spark plug specific tools, laptop, cables.
I wanted to be as prepared as possible and because I had everything under the sun, nothing went wrong, my tuner confirmed lol.

Did you spray straight meth or did you try a water meth mix??
I thought about water meth and different boost settings, but I'm just not wired that way, I want it all in all the time lol.
I've driven the car quite a few times since the dyno and the meth tank has barely dropped so it's not even using a ton of meth which is great.
If you've been driving the car for a while like me then I'm sure you'll have no issues, I'd just run meth, its cheap, the kit doesn't use much, and the safety net is huge.

I went straight to meth since I knew that's where I'd end up anyways.

Just be ready, you've got more turbo and more cubes than me, so you'll definitely make big power.
700-750whp was fun and was like "Oh this is nice and could get me into trouble tra la la la", 900whp wheel is a whole different animal, it's really too much for the street but damn is it fun lol.

You'll be fine, you'll probably run out of injector too like I did.

You may encounter the same issue, you'll definitely find out where the converters limits are.
Is the tuner using a chassis dyno or a hub dyno?

Don't get too hung up on a number either, I really wanted to see big numbers on the screen but my converter kept that from happening.

Yea I'm not about to get hung up on a number as there are other issues that could possibly arise. My converter is a year old it's a 10" billet single disc from FTI. Hmmm I'm not too sure what kind of dyno he's using as I've never been there but when I made the call I'll give him an ask. I'd assume it's probably a chassis dyno

There are only two questions really, will those 1440cc injectors and the meth provide enough fuel and will the converter stay coupled long enough to get the reading.
My Circle D converter started tapping out pretty early on, but we kept going anyway, the tuner just said the dyno reading would be way skewed.
I'm betting the converter is gonna say "No Bueno" before then but hopefully I'm wrong.

I'm hoping he'll hit 1,000whp, that was what I wanted just for d!@k measuring lol.

The tuner said to pay no attention to the number, the dyno loads the converter completely differently from how it will act on the street/strip.
I wouldn't even worry about it, if you're spraying meth and getting close to 100% IDC, then you've gotta be knocking on 1,000whp.
My 1000cc injectors supposedly support 1,260hp on pump gas plus twin M15 nozzles fire hosing meth is ample fueling to support the 900whp the tuner said its making.
He felt it was over 900whp, but I don't like to over embellish so I asked if I could say 900whp confidently and said absolutely so that's what I did, your tuner will probably do the same.
No matter what happens, you're gonna make some serious power my friend, no doubt.
On a side note, does your 4L80E retain full automatic function with the ability to down shift and what not?

It would climb rapidly with boost then plateau and drop off towards the end of the pull, you can see it in the graph on the video I posted how it ramped up and leveled off quickly.

If you end up over 20lbs. which I don't see why you wouldn't, you might not see the number but it'll be making it.
Don't get me wrong, I certainly hope you do, I just wasn't willing to chase mine and stopped with low timing and a fat AFR for a hopefully longer life lol.
You might want to select a dyno friendly tire if possible if its a chassis dyno, I had always been warned about using a bias ply slick on the dyno and been told a drag radial was best.
