If you really want to do it right, and don't just want some talking numbers,
go see Paul Caselas at Speed Merchant on Lincoln Ave, in San Jose. Paul, a
long time friend of mine, is the Mgr there and does all, or most of, the
dyno work. He has a different machine (from a Dyno Jet) which bolts your
rear hubs to the dyno. Paul will work with you to not only do runs but he
has software to both monitor, and in some cases, depending on your FI
system, do reprogramming to really get the whole rpm range dialed-in. It is
a brake dyno so you can dwell at an RPM and make adjustments, etc. Paul will
also work with you if you want to make (reasonable) changes between runs.
