Each and every dyno run is available to be viewed as a dyno chart with Dynojet's "Run Viewer" program.  Instructions for obtaining the program and using it appear below.  Some of the runs (most of the race teams) are in directories that are password protected, so you will not be able to view them unless you have the username and password.  You will be able to view all of the other runs.

 

First - Download the Dynojet Run Viewer from here, unzip the file, and install it onto your computer.  You may also go to DYNOJET'S page and download a demo version of the WinPep program hereYOU NEED TO USE DYNOJET'S PROGRAM IN ORDER TO VIEW THE A/F AND BOOST IF YOU CAME HERE SINCE 2006.  SELECT "AEM O2" ON THE AXES TO VIEW THE A/F.

 

Second - Find your dyno run files from here.

 

Third - Right-click on each file with a .001, .002, etc., or a .drf extension in your folder, click "Save Target As" and save the files to an appropriate directory on your computer.  Ignore the other things that may appear in your folder.

 

Fourth - Run the Run Viewer program and open your run files.

 

You can open up to three runs at a time.  Click on the X and Y axis labels to change them - you can select from power, torque, air/fuel (if it was done), rpm, speed, and time.  Drag over sections of the graph to zoom in.  Left-click on the graph to display the power (or torque or air/fuel ratio) at a certain point.  Right-click on the graph for more options - click "Display" and then "Display Max Values" to find your peaks.  There are many other things you can do with the information - play around with the program for a while and you will find out.

 

Some of you may find some problems with your charts, such as gaps in the curves.  This can happen if the rpm measurement during the run wasn't perfect (i.e. electronic interference, damaged pickup, faulty ignition system, I screwed something up, etc.)  If this happens, change the X-axis to "speed" instead of "rpm."  Make sure the "force scaling" option is selected.  If you're unhappy with it, let me know.  Dynojet has also told me that the results from using the Run Viewer program may differ slightly from the results that I give you at the shop.  This is because the Run Viewer program calculates the numbers differently from the way it's done on the dyno computer.  Of course, I have yet to see this happen, and it really doesn't make any sense.  "Smoothing" may also affect the peak hp and torque numbers.  Check the correction factor, too.

 

Once you have the Run Viewer program, you will have the ability to open and view anyone's run, and of course, anyone with the program can view your runs.  I'd rather not pull anyone's runs from the website, because I upload them all together.  If you don't want anyone else to view your runs, send me a username and a password, and I will password-protect your folder.  When you come into the shop for a test, you can also tell me to save the runs under a false name.

 

I created a table in 2003 with most of the customers that came during that time.  If you would like to see it, click here.  At this point in time, I do not plan on updating it.
