They are working on getting it there, as far as I know he has technically has one just not operational yet

Hello WOW, I was just surfing the web and saw the rumor mill....So, I dug up my pass word to get the real word out..lol.....
-Yes, we have a fully operational Load Bearing Chassis Dyno in house now we have had it since November....It has been up and running for testing since Jan 2013....
- The model is a Mustang Dyno 1750-DE Dual load Load cells to absorb over 1500lbs of torque A MUST FOR ALL BOOSTED CARS! You can not properly tune a boosted car without a load cell to hold steady state through all driving conditions to dial in proper calibrations.
Link to Our in House Unit.....
http://www.mustangdyne.com/mustangdy...MD-1750+Series

- Yes, We can data log A/F and many other thing s needed this is also a must for proper calibrations.

Boostedsnail- LOL where did you hear that about a mother board getting fried? We had a power supply go out in the main control box and that was fixed in 3 days. No big deal.....

- as For HP numbers...We have been doing alot of checking back and forth with our friends at Hux racing and comparing numbers from a Dyno Jet that we have used for 4 plus years. And used the same cars and no changes other than the dyne. So far other than weather conditions these two dyno's are very close to the same for "Numbers". However, the pulls are longer on our Dyne and loaded compared to a inertia style dyno. Which gives us a much better sample for dialing in combinations/ Tunes.

-Testing and tuning are a case by case call for your application. We primarly deal with...(I probably get blasted for this on a LS1tech Web site)...But Mustangs however, I have alot of customers the have LS based cars we do work on because they want it done right.
- Anyway we have a Dyno Date set for June 1st. If you would like to come you are more than welcome It is open to everyone. We will be cooking boston butts on the grill and raising money for Help for hero's foundation.
Hope this will help you guys out.If you have question feel free to email or call. Our contact info is here- www.TwistedFusionMotorsports.com

Thanks and look forward to meeting some of you guys.

Great to hear! Hux's dyno is a load cell dyno isn't it?? Do you have the capabilities of going over 1500 ftlbs? (Diesel stuff)

Yes, Eric's 224XLC is load bearing that is why we have always used him vs. "other's" around the area for the " Loading". Not to mention he is really a great guy and good friend. I would still be using his and saved my money, but we stay so busy that I just can not take a day/2 or 3 if everything goes well make the trip, tune and come back and not be totally smoked. That does get worse if we do need parts or something does not go right during testing. Another reason we can strap it down here and tune until it is right.....bottom line, Hot starts, cold starts, cruising ect.
I held out for a while to really get what we felt we were going to need for our builds and to support our clients demands as well as the area. We have been in much need for a solid Chassis Dyno platform to conduct testing and diagnostics.
- Ahh, and the Diesel stuff. Been a really big question and I will answer this the best way I can.....Yes, we are be able to handle the diesel...."loading". We have a Dual Eddy Current Load Absorption units...... How much will it hold? it will be alot have to try it and see.....However, We have a really nice clean insulated in white walled shop.......Our Dyno platform is above ground w/ drive on lift that backs up into one corner of out shop that has exhaust fans........I will put this way case by case....It will be a tight fit on some....

-Stack's,side pipes, dump pipes can not be used unless the customer wants to pay for custom flex pipes or what ever we will have to come up with to get ALL the freight train smoke/ un-burned fuel out side........it is well vented in our shop however, we know how much some of these things really dump..... and cleaning the ceiling is not an option...
I noticed your sig...is this the Nova that is with Rick,DH?
