Chassis Dyno Testing Facility

We dyno tune and repair  all types of cars and trucks, Domestic and Imports.
There is more to tuning then just trying to get highest Hp an Tq number at wot throttle.
The majority of tuning is done on our in  ground Mustang MD 250 Eddy Current Chassis dyno. Where tuning can be done safely! We can datalog  on our dyno AFR-FUEL-BOOST-HP-TQ,and all OBD II sensors on the Dyno graph.

I have been in the Automotive 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 {Not a mail order tune !}This is why every car leaves with a different tune.When i work on your vehicle i do it with a passion because i love what i do.
I am straight forward and honest ! This is one of the things that seperates me from all other shops, the quality the effort and passion that goes to each job that i finish and i do it like it was my own car.
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 compensate for the different weather changes.
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).
I have built enough engines to guide you and advise you in the right direction.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 10 years in the Us Army as a combat engineer,and been to many seminars, also HP tuners trainning. I have solved many problems with high end exotic to full race cars. The shop has experience with nearly all aftermarket tuning systems and Collingdale Performance was established in 1994.
We have the technical and real life experience to tune your vehicle! We specialize in all aspects of performance from fabrication installations to tuning on imports and domestic.

Modifications are our Specialty

We have the knowledge and experience to handle even the most ambitious project. Please don't hesitate to contact us for an in-depth discussion of your requirements. We strive hard to establish a close working relationship to ensure total customer satisfaction!
We provide custom Delta Force Tuning  for all ford cars and trucks for better gas mileage and performance.We Tune: Diablo,SCT,Hypertech,,Edelbrock,Holley 950 Commander, Fast,Accel,Superchips,Greddy Emanage,Msd EFI ,Split second , HP Tuners,Msd.AEM and many more.We do what others won't do and can't do.Collingdale Perfromance has installed many supercharger and turbo kits from imports to domestic cars and trucks.
 
We are also a dealer distrubutor for HP Turbo Kits.

The dyno we use is an MD 250 Eddy Current Power Absorption unit (PAU) with air-cooled, frictionless operation, infinitely variable loading and capable of dynoing 1250 hp at 175 mph. The MD250 can handle up to 12.000lbs of axle weight!This produces true life results which can be duplicated on the track. Don't be fooled by some Dynos which don't give results which match your track runs.We can also dyno your car or truck on either direction on the dyno.

What is a Chassis Dyno, and what makes Mustang Dynos so special?

The term dynamometer is commonly defined as – “an instrument for measuring mechanical force”, with force being commonly defined as – “any external agent that causes a change in the motion of a free body, or that causes stress in a fixed body”. In the case of the chassis dyno, the purpose at hand is to measure the rotational force of the driven wheels mounted to the vehicle under test.   This is typically achieved via a series of rollers - which when coupled to a vehicle’s tires resembles a toothless gear arrangement.  In many cases, an absorption device is incorporated into the roller arrangement so as to allow for “steady state” testing.
It's true that any chassis dyno can spin your wheels and do some calculations, but only a Mustang dyno can give you a real world simulation every time. Our patented control system uses eddy current power absorbers to load a vehicle exactly the way it would be loaded on the street -- including wind resistance, which is a significant factor in high-speed testing. Mustang dynos also feature a load cell to measure the power being applied to the rolls. Without going into a lot of theory, a Mustang dyno gives you a real world tune, every time.

Dyno Testing and tuning is available on our Mustang MD250-HD Dyno. The Mustang dyno incorporates an eddy current load controller to simulate the actual load (combined aerodynamic, rolling friction, and vehicle inertia [weight]) the vehicle experiences while driving on the street or racetrack. This allows for more accurate tuning under conditions that match the real world. These conditions can not be simulated by an inertia-only dyno !
 
Horsepower and torque gains and driveability improvements can be made on a chassis dyno by tuning fuel pressure, ignition timing, and oher  parameters of the engine computer, or by a custom computer chip or by flash tuners such as a Diablo,SCT,Superchips,HP tuners, and other hand held tuners.Below are just some of the tuning software we use.

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  track.
All 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.We can dyno a UPS delivery truck, at any direction facing on the dyno.
