I actually like 2 things better about that pic:
The cylinder heads and the horrible garage clutter. Just my style !

I think you will like running wet exhaust , for tuning , we ran the plastic blue barrels on casters with 1.5" fittings from bottom , you can daisy chain them if u have the room ,you can fill em outside and roll em to the motor with good caster base . You will be suprised how fast a bravo pump will empty a 55 gallon drum at full tilt .you will need at least 3 , and they are cheap and easy to store empty

Its a Go-power dyno owned by Norm Schenck from : http://www.compfuelsystems.com/ who recently re-located into my area and was looking for a shop to have a joint venture with. I bought a merc external harness and a set of mint BBC 2 1/8 headers this weekend to start dynoing my stuff soon. After looking at what its going to take to dyno with wet exhaust as much as I would like to start out doing it that way it will have to wait with winter setting in, no way we can dump 500 gallons of water on ground in a few months with freezing wetaher setting in, will revisit the wet exhaust in spring when its warm out, have gotten some excellent ideas from guys on here and from a couple of respected dyno operators.

Which 8 channel 02 sensor setup did you go with? Being I dont have alot of investment in this venture I am willing to spend some cash upgrading things, purchasing things for this venture, IE, dyno headers Norm doesnt own , 8 channel o2 system , building better motor cradle with wheels to allow faster setup, new well is getting drilled tommorrow, Smitty

Call Tyler and see what he does. Most Dyno's I have seen have a huge reserve tank. My guess is 500-750 gals. And why not just ask a well driller ?

Question has pretty much been answered, well was drilled today, 5" casing, it will only support 12-15 GPM no matter what size pump they put in so the annswer is yes, a second water tank. Dyno already has a 250 or 300 gallon tank as part of the brake/cooling system, to run wet exhaust it will need a second tank, Tylers headers are water cooled BUT not water injected IF I remember right from last time I dynoed there. A underground recovery tank combined with a extra storage tank would be right way. Since winter is soon I will be dynoing my projects with dry headers this winter
