Where can I dyno my 1967 Mustang? I am living in San Francisco, does anyone here know a good place for that? Basically I would like to get precise information as far as net HP and torque are concerned.
One more question: what would be a reasonnable price for this operation?
i went to a local car show here in newark, ca and they had a dyno setup there. it was like 75 bucks to hook it up and run your car. my friends brother dynoed his 70 turbo cougar at around 407hp. it was one of the ones where you take you rear wheels off and bolt your rear end to.
If you don't mind a trip into the East bay, I would go to BRG racing in Concord, CA.
I put my Dodge diesel on their setup a few years ago (328 hp, 648-ft lbs), and was very happy with the service and the time they spent working with me. They have a "real" Dynamometer (Mustang eddy current), not just an inertia one like many speed shops have. The inertia ones are kind of a joke, they work by measuring the time it takes your car to spin a heavy drum up to speed, avoid them if possible.
1971 Mustang Grande project. 425hp 426 Ft-lb 377" Cleveland with CHI 2V heads & many other goodies. Broader built FMX transmission 10” custom converter. Maier racing suspension, 31 spine 9” with Detroit True-trac, more to come.

Thanks a lot.
If you are going to the trouble of putting your car on a dyno, don't waste the oportunity by just getting some HP and Torque figures. Have it tuned, and the air/fuel ration mapped and adjusted. That is the main prrpose of a dyno, which seems to come second fiddle to simply measuring HP. BTW, don't be disapointed when you find out you car is putting down CONSIDERABLY less power that you thought it might.
Fast66: what do you mean exactly by having it tuned? The goal for me is to know what I have right now (hp and torque) prior to starting changing parts and optimizing it. I am still 100% stock.
Tuning does not mean adding performance parts. Unfortunately the word has been taken over by the ricer brigade because they don't know any better. Tuning is just adjusting engine components to get the best from what you have right now. Because the dyno puts your engine under load, you can adjust things such as timing/dwell, plug gap and air fuel mixtures to be at their optimum for on road conditions, which is something you cant do during a normanl workshop or driveway tune. The dyno is especially useful when you do change or add performance parts, because generally, things such as Carbies, are rarely set perectly for your engine when thay are put on straight from the box. When I added my cam, intake, street avenger 570 and tri ys, the difference between before and after my dyno tune was amazing. Is just an added beneift that you get a HP reading.
