Shootout Mode?

[Hulk1010]

On many peoples dyno sheets I see that it says Shootout mode, what does this exactly mean, on my dyno sheet it doesn't say shootout mode, are there any differences?

thanks

Ive explained this many times

but ill do it the easy way

Go to Dyno Dynamics

www.dynodynamics.com.au

And view it on there website

It will Explain Everything you need

um.... NO..

i went to that site and it is only for people wishing to buy dyno's... and you cant even access the FAQ's

wouldnt it be easier just to tel us what it means .... rather than starting a f*kkin wild goose chase for answers......

so what does it mean... www.dynodynamics.com.au... DOES NOT GIVE US THE ANSWER...

Unquestionable results

Controlled conditions

Controlled ramp rates

Controlled drive-train inertia

Controlled drive-train loss

My bad They changed there site

Unquestionable results my ass

[Hulk1010]

so do the results vary between shootout mode and non shootout mode?

[paulr33]

yes non shootout mode vs shootout mode is likely to give different results.

shootout mode basically takes the results and runs it through a weather simulator template to round it all to a nice even playing field.

then if you dyno your car in tas on a winter morning and apply the shootout mode settings and dyno your car in sydney on a hot day and apply the shootout mode settings you get the same power reading

[Hulk1010]

so does shootout mode give a slightly higher rwkw reading? or mostly just good for comparison purposes

[Warpspeed]

AS paulr33 says, if you dyno your car in January at 2pm on a scorcing hot day in Darwin, it certainly will increase the power reading.

But if you do it in August at midnight in Hobart where it is well below freezing the power reading will be reduced from what it really is.

I can see the reasoning for doing this, but essentially it isnt a true power reading though.

I can see the reasoning for doing this, but essentially it isnt a true power reading though.

Shoot Out mode was designed by DD so that valid comparisons could be made between cars in Darwin and cars in Hobart and cars in summer versus cars in winter.

We have a climate controlled room with the dyno in it. If you drive the car outside and it's hotter than inside, the car will make less power than it did on the dyno. Conversely if you drive the car outside and it's colder than inside, the car will make more power than it did on the dyno.

What's the difference between that and Shoot Out mode?

cheers

PS; Shoot Out mode also locks out some of the fiddles that dyno operators used to get up to. There are still some left though.

Said fiddles were the cause of a poo-brown VW beetle making 275rwkw at a particular workshop's dyno day
