How many hours have you had on a Dyno Cell, TTB?
Doubt if it is more than several hundred in your lifetime.
Now you take a Pontiac Guy named Chris Piper (who worked for Ford Research in the dyno labs) who would
run a engine dyno test program where his engines (6) (each one were on the cell for 2800 hours of testing).
So Dragncar does not use a dyno cell.
You do a few pulls on a dyno cell in a days time.
Piper runs for 1000s of hours on a dyno cell for each engine of the 6 engines.
I personally had a few years on dyno cells at Holley Carburetor,
the 7 years on dyno cells at the Ford Motor Company doing Emissions work certified by the EPA.
Last job in Ford Research (14 years) I had engines running on dynos for two shifts EVERY DAY for those 14 years.
So everyone had a point in time with actual dyno cell experience.
Think about that TTB when you make future posts about dyno cell testing,
