Anyone ever hear of a SUPERFLOW chassis dynometer? This is the only one in my area but it has a wideband! My brother, 2000 ws6 on here, dynoed his car there and it put down like 240 RWHP (but he runs 12.3's with bolt ons on a 6speed, go figure). Ricers there put down like 120 or so RWHP. It has jacked up dyno readings but the wideband works great. I was just curious if anyone has any experience with this brand of dyno. It's from Austrailia. <img border="0" alt="[Z06 Corvette]" title="" src="graemlins/z06.gif" />

Re: Anyone ever hear of a SUPERFLOW chassis dynometer? Hey NastyC5,
I'm from Sydney Australia. Have never heard of an Aussie 'Superflow' dyno. Superflow (USA made) makes chassis dyno's, but they are more well known for their industry standard Engine dyno's. Their is an Auusie made (and New Zealand made) cahssis dyno/s, but not Superflow. If you find out more about this one, let the post know!

Re: Anyone ever hear of a SUPERFLOW chassis dynometer? I just talked to a fellow named Rick Stoner from the LA area of California who says he has a Superflo Dyno at his business. Said it is an "eddy Current" model, whatever that means. If you want, I can get a business name and phone number.

Re: Anyone ever hear of a SUPERFLOW chassis dynometer? Eddy current refers to the type of brake or load instrument that the dyno uses. There are eddy=electric, water brakes and inertia wheels. An inertia wheel is what a Dyno-jet uses. They are the least accurate, but cheap compared to a water/eddy dyno. The benefit to the water/eddy current dynos is that you can steady state test. That is when you can pick an rpm and hold the motor their at any throttle position and load. All of your higher end shops/manufacturers use some type of "brake" dyno.
