As most of you know already, Pickups Plus Cars has added a Mustang AWD-500-SE to our ever growing list of services.
Our dyno is basically the same dyno that Buscher Racing has only bigger. We had the outer width extended by 10" giving us an outer track width of 98". We also had the lenght extended to allow us to do bigger all wheel drive vehicles. Our all wheel drive capabilities extend to 154". (for comparison a Silverado SS is 143")
As Scott has mentioned in previous posts, it is a load bearing dyno. The Mustang is pretty cool how it loads the rollers. Basically, Mustang provides a lookup chart (according to them it comes from the epa) that contains a list of what the vehicles weigh as well as how much horsepower is robbed from the aerodynamics of the vehicle @ 50mph. Those two numbers are what is used to load the rollers. The vehicle weight is used as the base and as the vehicle accelerates, so does load simulating wind drag. In addition to loading the rollers for vehicle weight other benifits are we can simulate road grades, simulate trailer weight, and do simulated quarter pulls on the dyno, as well as the obvious benefits for tuning. The dyno does an excellent job with its load controls.
As I said in the title, we will be offering 3 pull dyno sessions for CR members for $65.00 till 12/31/08. To setup an appointment you must pm either myself or Scott so that we can verify CR membership as this is members only pricing.
