If people want to dyno their engine, fine.
I mean, I kind of understand it when someone is doing a engine with some sort of effort. Nice set of ported heads, roller cam, money spent on a intake beyond port match, custom carb. Knock yourself out. Especially if the dyno is close by and you can afford it.
But I completely fail to see any sound reason to spend 800 bucks for a day on a engine dyno for these stock type 400s. Ram Air whatever cam, iron intake and a Q jet.
You know what kind of power it will make if you are any good. And you can get a good estimate at the track for 20 dollars.
If you like lighting money on fire just to say you got 360 HP out of your 400 you are strange or rich.
And it sure seems like a lot of guys spend that money on their 300HP wheezier.
