Dyno and rain ????? I want to get my car dynoed but I work too much.... ( six days a week) my questions I sometimes get rain days off ( like today). I know humidity is a killer at the drag strip. So I am guessing it would be the same for the dyno???? Should I just wait? I want my numbers to be the best they can be.

Re: Dyno and rain ????? Get it SAE corrected. NICE swap BTW. I've seen SBC, Buick turbo but never an LS1 in a fiero. This thing must really run if you can get all of it to hook.

Re: Dyno and rain ????? Will they automatically be corrected on the print out ????? I might just wait till dry weather. I don't want numbers but with an excuse that it was raining, and here are the corrected numbers 
. I don't want to give anyone an excuse to talk **** ..... I haven't taken it to a track yet but it does seem to hook up well. Thanks for the compliment....
Here are a couple pics of it

Re: Dyno and rain ????? I know you probably don't want to hear that, but it would make a great base for a Diablo kit car.

Re: Dyno and rain ????? Corrected numbers are the "standard", there is no shame in using corrected numbers. I'd go do it on a rain day and let them correct it. Second, the numbers you get on a rain day (uncorrected) are the actual numbers it is making on the way to the shop. I hate to "make numbers the best they can be" at the expense of accuracy.
My 2002 M6 dynoed at 299.7 hp and 317.5 ft lbs with a lid. To me, this is a few hp low. But it was 90 degrees and I ran the car with the hood closed and after driving it all day. I consider those numbers (taken just as the car would be sitting on the track) to be accurate, even if they seem low.

Re: Dyno and rain ????? The dyno should use corrected numbers regardless of the weather (just like anyone else.)
The shame is the rare occasions when people post uncorrected numbers.

Re: Dyno and rain ????? First once again thanks for all the compliments...... So I take it the numbers are corrected regardless. Sorry about the dumb questions. I have never had a car dynoed before so this is all new to me. I don't even know how much the high humidity would effect it anyway. I will admit I wanted the best numbers I could get, but certain not more than I deserved if that makes any sense.
I would love a Diablo kit........ Although if I were I would start with a notch back Fiero rather than a fast back( allot less common)
The cost was $ 3,484.84 plus engine for a total of $4,984.84 and that price is including allot of the add ons like ASP pulley, pace MAF, poly bushings for the cradle and so on. Not included are the hot cam and rebuild I performed on the engine
Here is a link to a whole write up on the swap if anyone is interested

But warning it is not very dial up friendly.... Lots of pics.
