How To Read Dyno Sheets

[ugy]

Hi guys, just wondering if someone could post what all the bits mean on a dyno sheet....eg shootout mode, BP, RR, shoot 6 etc etc.I have had a quick look and can't spot anything.

Thanks

Shootout mode is the accepted "Competition" mode to run a car on a dyno. Shoot6F is the mode recommended for 6cyl Forced Induction vehicles.

IT is intake temperature

AT is ambient temperature

there are a few other things on there but can't quite remember at the moment, maybe some other members can help out there

Only on dyno dynamic dyno's

Ahh, ok, do they have something similar or are they just run in a single mode regardless of the type of vehicle/engine combo?

My other tuner has one of each - mainline and DD - but I'm yet to run my car up on the Mainline...

Ugy I have no idea either, but if you want to know put it up on here, name a tuner and say what a fantasic job he has done. Doing this will garatee you know all about your Dyno sheet and the mods also love it as they get to bring out the vacumn cleaner.

Not trying to claim one brand is better than the other, so don't try to read that in my words.

Mainline allow you to use different ramp rates, they should be suited to the acceleration rate of the car.

Having 1 mode for all Forced induction 6 cylinders is probably not ideal as a stock T will accelerate a lot slower than say a 450 rwkw T, so to use the same ramp rate is probably not ideal.

Mainline also does not need an intake air probe to get readings, it uses an inbuilt weather station to make it's atmosphere correction adjustments, so as far as I know the only way to cheat on one is to tie down a car extremely hard and then let it get loose.

I may be wrong on the cheat thing, I try to keep as consistant as I can
