Is there anything I SHOULDN'T do? I'm going to dyno the V6 this friday up here in Bellingham. Never done it before and figured I should. Just to see how I did with my engine "build" a few years ago. My torque converter lock up line isn't hooked up so thats good? My tires are getting bald (1/8" left) but 245's, has plenty of traction in the dry. I'm pretty low key anyway i just don't want to do something stupid or falsley assume anything.

Install a rotating strobe on your roof. Turning this on during dyno runs will increase horsepower.

Very Happy

Have a trailer standing by for when you blow up your transmission. It'll save time.

Well then, look for a dyno post of a 3.25 over-cammed custom tuned V6 coming soon! Just going to check the plugs and clean it out before I go tomorrow at 5pm.

So wouldn't you know it.....

Last night I decided to clean the plugs and check the cap. Well, I ripped the clip out of the boot of #1 hole. Duh

I pulled all of the plugs out and they were all kinda nasty with light brown buildup. Probably due to how rich its been running. Plus I'm never nice to it when I drive it. I have 10k on the motor in the last 2 years. Poor motor. So now I have to leave work early so I can get a new wire and new plugs put in. Then off to the dyno.
