If you like your dyno video action filled with high RPM wailing fury, than this video could be the best thing you have ever seen. The footage shows a 410ci sprint car engine being run on a dyno up to 8,500 RPM over and over again, most likely in simulation of the engine being run at a race. Our recent experiences on a chassis dyno at RPM levels not even close to what you’ll see happening here had us spellbound by the action in this video. When it is your mill sitting there spinning to a lazy five grand it makes you wince a little. We can’t imagine what it would be like to sit on the other side of the glass to see this going on. Despite the fact that the engine will be treated worse when it is actually powering the car, there’s something inherently more nerve wracking to see it working away in that little room.
We’re going to try like hell to get to a sprint car race next season. It has been too long since we were last swishing dirt out of our teeth with cheap draft beers at a dirt track. This time of the year is perfect for planning those 2016 adventures. The screaming buzz saw of an engine in this video has us hot and bothered to get some sprint car action in our lives come 2016!
Press play below to watch one of the more brutal dyno sessions you’ll ever see!
