Your Performance and Horsepower Headquarters

Featuring state of the art, on site chassis dynamometer!!

Our Land and Sea Chassis Dynamometer offers:

Sustained Hp and top end can only be handled by absorption dynamometers (like our DYNOmite). Unlike “acceleration spurt” inertial testing, you can load the vehicle indefinitely. The absorber allows running controlled RPM step and sweep Hp tests. Everything is done under computer control via the included “Electronic Auto-Load Servo.” 

Simulate driving conditions on our chassis dyno by letting DYNO-MAX and our PC take control. DYNO-MAX features a “Road Load Simulation” mode that can simulate vehicle momentum, air drag, rolling friction, etc. When we enter the vehicle’s weight and drag data our software monitors MPH vs. applied Hp, as it adjusts the dyno’s “road” load accordingly! To the drive-line and operator, the “feel” is like actually driving along.

Fix drive-line problems that never show up in the garage; like shifting issues, drive shaft vibration, brake chatter, bearing noises, brake shudder, exhaust rattles, etc. - without costly field testing.

More than acceleration Hp can be measured with DYNOmite absorption units because they include an actual strain gauge equipped torque transducer. Other companies’ inertial only chassis “dynos” simply spin the vehicle’s drive-line up to speed - against the roll’s “flywheel resistance” (or unmeasured parasitic brake drag). Torque is only back calculated from the roller’s inertia and acceleration. Such units can’t maintain an RPM or MPH setting (vital for properly mapping engine management systems or emissions work)! It’s similar to calculating Hp from your drag-strip ET.

DYNOmite Data Acquisition Computer automatically displays and records true horsepower, torque, RPM, elapsed time, etc. at over 200 readings per second. It can even be set to automatically apply Standard, SAE, and DIN correction factors for air temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity
