Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Maintenance can you dyno an automatic?

I have an auto tour, how hard is it to dyno an auto? I want to see what my mods have done. Where can I have it done and how much does it cost? I'm just curious, if it's too much I'm not going to do it.

Yes, you can DYNO an automatic car, it's the same as any other, you jsut rev it to a certain RPM and measure the HP and Torque...saw it on TNN many times. Where to get it done...huh....look around local performance shops is all I can tell you, someone's gotta have a dyno.

Cool, thank you for the help.
