TR gets Dyno Tune

[tr6nitjulius]

I know, that was my first reaction, thinking go an just look & listen by second TR decided to go for it, your TR gets physcially restrained, hooked to computer, shifted, pedal to the metal to 4.5K rpm with printout so now I know what my 6 was putting out horsepower/torque wise as of 12/4 on a 55 degree day. Spit, Spit-6, TR7, 2-TR6,3-TR3 were dyno while I was there, see/hear 'em on my website on Dyno Tune page. Julius

Neato, did you get a package deal for doing them all together, I have no idea how much dyno time costs, nor if any exist anywhere near my somewhate less populated neck of the woods.

Yup! Rob member of SCTOA go us package deal $40 for $75 dyno tune, no actual tune/adjustments but each rec'd printout of horsepower/torque/fuel mixture. You could probably google dyno tune near your area (Omaha)

So baseline, tweak at home based on results, then bring it back sort of thing Julius? Worth $40 I'd say.

Absolutely, the knowledge alone of hp/fuel air mixture made it worth the cost, and perhaps explains some of the on/off missing in 1st & 2nd like taking oneself to the doc for a physical to get picture of what's going on inside, the 6 with bigger cam printout showed temp drop in power 3.5-4 rpm, when we arrived a guy was getting his '69 Camaro Z28/302 hp dyno they removed the carb cover housing and were doing some tweaking behind carb with angle wrench also trued his timing over heared discussion after dyno 12 hp gained. Wasn't anything in or around the shop in the way of British Iron mostly muscle & American. Going in felt from seat of pants, fingertips & smell of petrol my 6 due for some attention (tune, valves tighten, carb adjustments) for what it's worth will be carrying dyno printout to mechanic with questions about fuel/air mixture with 180K+ on a rebuild she's letting me know. They probably do American & Foreign (Porsche, Honda, BMW) but little or no British and we all know there's a difference between foreign & British but knowing what's involved there will be another dyno in my 6's future, of course ideal scenario would be British mechanic with dyno equipment

Details/details, for what it's worth, viewing video clips again realized dyno values Max 80.80hp Max 103.88ft lbs torque were obtained in 3rd gear pedal to the metal to 4.5K rpm
