Post by That Girl Racing »

Big day tomorrow. I will be running a Mod Stock Liquifire on my chassis dyno. I have never done anything like this before. Videos and pics to follow.

I can't wait to see this! I recently purchased an old hydraulic chassis dyno and am in the process of setting up modern data acquisition for it. It was next on my project list, maybe this will kick it up to the top.

All done. Sled was a tough customer but we got a good tune up in it. We have some good video. Can we post it on here?

That is what we will do. It is really up to the owner of the sled to post more detail of what went on. He actually races it so may not want to disclose much technical detail. I will say that it dynoed like any other sled. Its track hp vs.engine hp was just about what I expected. I was a little worried the dyno weights would be a little much for it but it drove through them quite well.
