More dyno installation at AJ Performance

Here are more pictures taken on Saturday, June 30, 2007. This is the front of the dyno. The wall-mounted monitor on the left-hand side is where the readout will display. The little silver rails on the floor is for the dyno to move according to the length of the car. The adjustment is automatic - just punch in the length and the dyno moves accordingly. How cool is that?

Check out this Dynocom demo video (click here) of a 2006 Corvette Z06 spinning its wheels. Those sounds will soon reverberate quite loudly here at AJP. The dyno installation is almost complete. They’ll be working on it some more tonight.

This picture was taken with my wide angle fisheye lens, so you can see its length. Cars will come in the back (right-hand side) and drive up to the big window.

It’s an all-wheel-drive unit, which means that it can handle a wider variety of vehicles than the two-wheel-drive units. This unit has a bigger brother, but AJP decided to handle cars only - no trucks!
