Default Finally a proper dyno...

So, Dryft Motorsports down here in Harrisonburg, VA have finally been able to get a dyno run with/out limiters. I will post a link of the video, and a scan of the dyno chart when I get the time. How where we able to get full throttle out of the engine on the dyno? Well, we lifted one front wheel slightly off the ground, enough for someone to spin the wheel freely. Once someone can spin the wheel over 10 mph, and once the rear wheels start to spin, all limiters seem to shut down. The result? 168.19 rwhp at what seems to be (I am reading off the graph to the best of my abilities) 5,230 rpm, and 178.29 rw ft-lbs of torque at well, between 3,250 - 4,500 rpm. The torque band is very flat, but it varies slightly between that range of rpm values. When I was driving the vehicle on the dyno, I went well over 6,100 rpm, and I let off at 6,300. I was very surprised, but I let off at 6,300 because I was just getting worried. It seemed like the engine could of gone further if I wanted to though. The graph seemed to have stopped at 6,300 rpm's as well.
