> Ok guys.  After programming my eyeballs off and fingers to the bone,
> version 2.0 of the home dyno kit has hit the streets.  With the excessive
> development time, and the fact that I was barely covering my own
expenses,
> I unfortunately also had to raise the price.  It's still pretty
reasonable
> I think for the only do-it-yourself dyno on the market.
> 
> I also was spending way too much time building inductive pickups for the
> kits and charging almost nothing for my time (soldering, heat shrinking,
> running to Radio Shack, etc) so I am now encouraging people to build
their
> own inductive pickups.  To this end, there are detailed schematics and
> instructions for wiring the pickup (really easy) and all the part numbers
> and phone numbers needed to order the parts.  I've been getting some
> pretty good reviews from people (on and off the list) who have had their
> car dyno'd on a chassis dyno.  The numbers are matching up within 3-5 hp!
> 
> The Win 95 software is $40 and if you order and wire the pickup yourself,
> you're talking an extra $15-$20, which is less than you'd probably pay
for
> a single dyno run on a chassis dyno.
