Great video Gerald, I think your new, Your Dyno is awesome. Really alot of data for you to look at. I agree, people get caught up into numbers. I am certainly glad you're up and running again. That new drive plate is nice, heavy duty! Have a great day. 🙏
Looking good. You cant really compare dynos, unless you're comparing two exact identical dynos, in the same location, same everything, down to water quality. Your dyno seems accurate & repeats. That's 100% in my book. Good luck Gerald.
Don’t sweat those numbers! You made so many changes I think it’s looking great. I have a lot of small single cylinder experience, I could show you some runs that would make you pull your hair out because of torsional vibrations. If you use inertia corrections it can help but in my experience if the vibrations are extreme enough the calculations could be really wacky. So who knows how many problems you may have fixed with your new drive plate. Great Chanel!
I have videos were Chief talks about the engine in Jackies car, lasting longer than he thought it would. But I remember when Gerald put that engine together, Chief didn't think it would last long. And Gerald was like it will last longer that.
Power output readout is whatever the software thinks it sees. What I'm interested in are those two AFR columns at the bottom left. They were all over the place. Especially when the engine got loaded, one dropped more than a number over the other. And as the RPM increased, it got leaner and leaner. At the end of a run, a spark plug shows what happened throughout the run, but not any direct data for a given RPM and load. How much there is to tune this variation out? Is it solely on the intake manifold? Could it be ported for more balanced fill? Would an odd set of jets help? If so, which jet goes to which hole? I think that's enough questions for a separate video.. Thanks! this was interesting.
The AFR are in # 1 and #3 header tubes not in the coll. they will move like that I have dynoed with 8 EGT and it is all over the place you can move it to the coll. and take the move out. I don't tune on EGT Thanks of the Questions👍
@BrandRacingEngines Definitely was a Hemi killer, I would have loved to see Damon run another season , those MBE Cylinder-9 heads flow some air, you built a killer Engine
Mr Gerald, is it possible to compare the results of that engine with your best tune, on your dyno, to another known and trusted dyno? In other words… do you have a friend with a good known dyno who could run that engine for you and see what they get? Because right now, you have no comparative results to check your work. You have to build that library of info all over again. Also I agree, it doesn’t matter what the numbers say, so to speak. I’m assuming you need to know if the info the dyno is giving you is accurate and repeatable? A dyno is a tool of measurement, like a micrometer. If you rebuilt an old Starrett mic, how can you verify its accuracy without checking it with a standard or comparing it to the measurement obtained with another known or certified micrometer? Sorry so long, it’s just where my brain went watching this series.
Everything turned out great and the screen display is setup perfect. Thanks for the video I enjoy watching everything you post.
God Bless
Great video Gerald, I think your new, Your Dyno is awesome.

I am certainly glad you're up and running again.

A super cool guy that knows his stuff Thanks for the videos

Thanks for another great video. I really liked you don't race dynos, you race race cars.
Alright!!! I'm sure you are glad to get the Dyno up N runnin'!!!
Looking forward to more videos 😃👍🏁
Thank Mr. Brand for the dyno video. Life is all but learning. I'm learning about the Motor by watching your video ! 😊
😀
Thanks for sharing, Gerald ! Good stuff...

I’ve been eyeing the yourdyno stuff for a while. Definitely will have it soon. Thanks for sharing
All looks good to me.
Thank You Gerald for sharing
I just seen a video of an old experienced stock eliminator guy that ran high 10s in the quarter mile with slightly less power.
WOW What a beast. I think we're talking about some serious torque. No dyno failures here. Customers get in line.

Great video
What’s the combo on that small block Gerald?
2.870 x 4.060 , 351 C90E heads

Not be disrespectful but was your shop a house or a office typ building at one time .otherwise love your content
I build it 45 years ago 👍
What Block did you use when you built Damon's Engine ? And what was the controversy about it
CN BLOCK, IT HAD CROSS BOLT MAINS BUT YOU COULD USE A STOCK BB CHEVY HEAD GASKET ON IT AND THEY

On the land & sea this motor made 475.
