'Road-Dyno' kit ...... looks good !
This is a very, clever product that is perfect for 4wd, where dyno's are scarce and traction is great.
Do a 2nd gear pull from 1500 rpm and up (although aero drag data is compensated for, keeping speed down minimizes related error). Enter car weight, tire, and gear data. By monitoring rpm increase (off coil, plug cable, etc) vs time, hp and torque curves are generated.
Just like chassis dyno, except car inertia instead of drum inertia is used. Downloads to a PC for output displays, or Excell processing, etc.
Very sound engineering. I saw some very consistent plots for a Mazda. Very accurate if you don't break traction. For $150, worth a call.
Great way to monitor gains from performance upgrades.
