Driveline tuning: Because the vehicle rests under its own weight on the Dynapack, the suspension runs in it’s natural state. There are no straps to place additional loads or restrict suspension movement under varying torque conditions. You can actually see the suspension geometry react to the torque load and the effects of anti-squat geometry, etc become readily apparent. More importantly, you can measure axle power differences in things like pinion angles, parasitic losses in different lubricants and u-joint/CV-joints, and even the pinion depth in the rear-end. One of our customers was preparing a car for a race at Daytona and tested the differences between the pre-assembled third-members that they were planning on taking. In one group, there were three housings with the same ratio and identically prepared (or so they thought). One of them measured several horsepower lower than the other two. Needless to say, they left that one at the shop. There was nothing really wrong with it; it was probably just machined a little differently by the manufacturer. Without the Dynapack, they never would have known about it. They figured that if it would have been in the car, it would have cost them several qualifying positions - or close to a tenth of a second per lap. |
