Cold engine dyno numbers
Cold engine dyno numbers
Yesterday the truck went on the dyno with some guys from another board and it sat outside in 20*f weather for 2.5 hours before coming into the heated shop.
The dyno sheet said 60.4*f temp.... *AFTER* the second pull I parked the truck and block temp(Autometer Phantom mechanical gauge with sender in side of block) and it was only 150*f at best.
How much does this affect the dyno numbers on a non-supercharged engine? Any guesses?
Truck is an 01 Scab 5.4 with the usual bolt-ons.
