Re: Thinking of building a engine dyno.

I had the same thought Tom and agree that is cheaper.
Clearly thought you never get the research done that is need to develop the SVX engine. Take for example cams. On a engine dyno you don't run timing belt covers, and when you want to change the cam its a simple matter. If the engine is in the car you have to pull it, put it back everytime.
I don't know of any serious race engine that has been developed that hasn't spent time on a engine dyno.

Besides a guy needs a hobby to keep him off the streets.
Have a great day.
Tony
