LSA Supercharged 1972 Monte Carlo Hits The Dyno! Will It Survive?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The Monte Carlo is carefully driven onto the dynamometer's ramps and positioned on the rollers. Once on the dyno, the vehicle needs to be securely strapped down to prevent it from moving or breaking free during high-speed runs. The operator then exits the vehicle, preparing for the initial performance test.

Goal: Position and prepare the vehicle for dynamometer testing.

Tools and materials

  • Dynamometer Dynojet — Measuring engine power output
  • Vehicle Straps/Tie-downs — Securing the vehicle to the dynamometer
  • Wheel Chocks — Additional safety to prevent the vehicle from rolling

there that's right for some background this engine is completely as it was out of the escalade before the escalade was turboed it had the stock 62 and i put an ls8 blower on it it was on 10 pounds with a btr positive displacement stage 3 cam in it uh deca 60 injectors pump 93 nob85 and that thing went 1188 at 117 miles an hour weighing 700 pounds bath says this thing should be over 600 wheel less than 650 but we have no idea the escalade was never dynoed because it was still all-wheel drive back then so this would be kind of interesting just to find out how much power the escalade actually had back then that was like the first build that um actually worked well kind of before that everything i touched got messed up this car everything i touched before the escalade was this car and it got messed up so if one thing's never changed i guess but maybe they will today we'll find out are you optimistic yeah because we pulled in to get gas and randomly pulled up to pump number three we might have some good luck today
