Apparently not so much! Might work good on a much lesser engine, just not in this 6700 rpm 548 haha! When I do my rebuilds next winter, we will dyno them at Articfriends place. Probably​ slap it on for squits and giggles since I own it already. We also have the 2200 dominator throttle body as well. I am planning 509's staying at or below 6000 rpm with much less cam than this motor we tested.

In research, whether data is good or bad, it is still data and tells a story!
I want to see a dyno video!

The refresh (screen) rate and camera video frame rate are similar or a multiple of each other (aliased). You are actually seeing a picture of the screen refresh. Just like a strobe light works when setting timing.

Thats sorta what i was thinking too, i have all new data aquisition thats going on w flat screen, windows, usb, mouse, color graphs and overlays etc. Done dynoing till its in place, got a new hp computer, monitor, ordered a regulated power supply to run 02s etc, still waiting on a few things to show up

Bobl has a "muffler box" for his dyno.. Exhaust noise is almost non existent.

Kindof spooky tho' hearing every noise an engine makes..

Thats really cool, wonder if it has chambers or baffles in it, looks like a GREAT way to test wet exhaust too, i have to assume it has some kind of sump in bottom to colkect water then pump it back to supply tank? Mark rinda told me to bury a septic tank w sump pump and dump water into it but i poured ALOT of new concrete before getting dyno and not going to tear it out. So far i spent 8000 putting a new well in (needed one anyways) , 2000+ on 8 02 sensor system, then bought regulated power supply to batterys, mercruiser cannon plug harness, 3000 on data aquisition, regulated power supply to run it, computer, flat screen, sensors etc. Next purchase will be ducted air supply to push heat down and away from exhaust then if it starts making money will build a addition and cell on side of building, wet exhaust recovery tank and if brake ever goes bad buy bigger brake (everything elses just about is new)
