I have done several searches but have not come up very successful. I am looking for someone(s) that have done unbiased dyno testing on many of the common performance products sold for Dmax trucks. If anyone knows of something like this please chime in.
Secondly, since I cannot find such a website, I have considered using my own truck for this purpose but will need some help.
Here is what I have: 2002 Chevy K2500HD D/A completely stock except 265/75R16 Tires. The truck has about 33k miles on it. I am the original owner so all prior history is known and documented. I also have installed Autometer boost and EGT gauges.
My shop is located about 1.5 miles from Superflow's headquarters. We have the opportunity to help them calibrate dyno's that are ready to ship to customers by using our vehicles. So about every other week or so, I can drive over there and strap a vehicle to the dyno. I would plan to run the truck stock and then run it every time I add something new to the truck to see what difference the product really makes. The gauges would also allow me to see how different products help/hurt on boost or EGT's.
So far I see the only problem (variables) being the fact that each test will most likely be a different dyno, however, each one will be freshly calibrated at the same time. As usual, changes in Colorado weather will be ever present and the tests will be conducted at 6100ft in elevation.
Now here is what I need: input on how/where to post all of this information as well as if you guys are even interested to know. I do not have the time/know how to create my own website, but would be more than happy to send the data to someone who does.
Also, unless some vendors want to donate product for the tests (it would be returned after of course) you guys will be at the mercy of my choice for parts.
Any input? Thoughts? Suggestions?
