Am I Dreaming????????

I was just thinking earlier that when I graduate college of some things I want to be able to do. I was wondering how much a dyno machine would cost to buy and set up for oneself. Also could the dyno machine be altered to measure you 1/4 time. I figure that might be easier than buying some land and having it paved.

Am I dreaming, or is this possible.

We've been trying to get a dyno for our Formula SAE team. THEY ARE VERY EXPENSIVE. A cheap one will still run 8k properly set up. A chassis dyno costs as much as a new car. Dynojet would be my choice for a chassis dyno, as far as $/value.
So, when you are done with school, start a separate savings account.

Good Luck,
Jeremy

$8k, that's not too bad.
