I want to mazimize the tuning of my carb'd 2056. Short of seat-of-the pants tuning, I figure using a chassis dyno is the way to go. I haven't checked to see where the nearest one is or how much it will be, but after spending all this time and money building it, I'd hate to leave any power on the table. I'm just not sure how you go about using it to tune the engine.
I assume I should have the engine pretty well broken in and running well with the carbs jetted as good as my seat-of-the-pants dyno can tell. Do I go there with a variety of idle and main jets, air correctors, venturis, etc and start swapping things out one at a time based on a baseline run? |

Chris,
Call KTR Motorsports. They just finished up Greg Fulchers car. They are more than capable of getting you want you want. They have a chassis dyno and some of the best vintage mechanics on the east coast. Just take a look at the site and guess about the hundreds of cars they support. Its not to far, Ayer is about an hour from you just off Rt 2. No one will tune it better around here. Rich |

Seemed pretty familiar with 914s and IDF carbs. Nice guy. Gave me some tuning advice before ever bringing it to the dyno. The shop was started by J. Geils of the J. Geils Band. |
