Dyno Services

There is more to tuning then just trying to get highest Hp an Tq number at full throttle.
The majority of tuning is done on a Mustang MD 250 eddy current chassis dyno. Where tuning can be done safely!

I have been in the automotive driveability industry since i was 8 years old and experience has taught me many lessons as carb and efi tuning is nothing new to me. Every car that gets on the dyno  it gets a different tune, as each car is different in many ways, this is why every car leaves with a different tune.

You hear many shops give more timing and  leaning out the motor to get more power out of it. All that does is make your engine run to it's edge of  breakage.

To me a chassis dyno, is a tuning tool!
I tune conservative so your motor will live a long, long life, pass after pass of hard running on the street or the track and the different weather changes.

You have to sacrifice something to get longevity.

There are always, ways to cut corners and to get more out of your motor, but with a price to pay.

I have enough tuning time invested in supercharged and naturally aspirated cars to know what a motor can handle and it's limitations (especially my supercharged car). When all dyno tuning is done I road test every car, so it still has it's streetability and factory idle quality where it is possible to obtain.

Tuning Experience

As the primary technician and owner of Collingdale Performance I have been drag racing for over 25 years with many different cars from supercharged and naturally aspirated engines to nitrous fed motors. I have solved many

What is a chassis dyno, and what happens when you arrive?
In a few brief words I will explain:

First of all, a chassis dyno is a tuning tool. Any dyno can give you Horsepower and Torque numbers to brag about. Before you bring your car over for a dyno:

You should make sure all your fluids, belts, hoses, lug nuts, tire pressures, check for any leaks and the entire drivetrain is good running condition. First I will inspect your car and check to see if it is safe to be run on my dyno. But if I feel that it is not safe, I may reject it, to run it on the dyno. Safety comes first here!
Then you will sign a printed waiver release form. (If you refuse to sign the waiver release form I will refuse to dyno test your vehicle.) Because there are risks! The same risks as you would be driving or racing your vehicle on the street everytime you hold your gas pedal to the floor and the tachometer will either hit the redline or pass the redline! Because something might just break on your vehicle. Just because it breaks on the dyno it doesn't mean that the dyno broke your vehicle! The same thing would happen if you were racing or driving your car on the street or the race track.

Remember the dyno is tuning tool. The dyno tests are done at 1:1 ratio on most cars but lighter cars have a final gear ratio higher and done at a different gear. With an Eddy Current Mustang Dyno we can test your vehicle at any speed. After the dyno is done, you will get several color print outs of Afr-Tq-Hp before and after.
The MD 250 dyno is an in ground dyno with dual grooved rollers for optimum traction and can handle up to 12.000 lbs of axle weight! 1250hp and 175mph. Let me put this way, we can dyno a UPS delivery truck at any direction facing on the dyno.
