Default Dyno Question

NASA Time Trial requires an annual dyno. When I would dyno my ex-993 car, it was common practice to take the car to Red Line and bounce off the rev limiter. I don't feel comfortable doing this with the 6GT3. You know the old DME Report.

Maybe have them take it to 7,800...any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

It’s no longer a peak value, it’s a HP average based on X amount of data points in 250rpm increments on either side of the peak power number. Because our cars turn >7000 rpm I believe it’s 8 data points total.

Our cars should make peak power somewhere around 7400 rpm. As such you are likely going to need to run it to the limiter to justify the number of samples below the peak vs above it.

I wouldn't worry about hitting redline. Everyone has range 1 on their GT3. And lots of them. It won't hurt the car or resale value.

Thanks for the heads up, as we see, "If the vehicle Redline (highest RPM on the Dyno graph) is greater than 7000 RPM, use the highest seven (7) data points above along with Max HP to calculate the Avg HP."
