Dyno Correction Factors Explained
When measuring horsepower and torque on a dyno, the results can vary depending on factors like temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and altitude. To ensure consistent and comparable data, correction factors are applied to standardize the dyno results. These correction factors adjust the measured horsepower and torque values to reflect standard conditions as defined by various organizations around the world. Here’s...

2020 Update
The year has posed many challenges for small businesses around the world. Ours was no exception. We spend a lot of the summer months at shows operating the dyno and promoting the business. Of course all of the shows were cancelled due to the pandemic, so we lost a lot of revenue. Fortunately for us, the dyno is our side...

Project InfHemi Update #4
When we last left off with Project Infhemi, we had made a few successful passes at the Arm Drop Drags event at the Picton airport, as well as the drag strip at Shannonville Motorsports Park. The Arm Drops are not an official timed run, but at Shannonville we did manage a 14.1 at Shannonville. With those shakedowns out of the...

Project InfHemi Update #3
I know, I know! It's been months since our last written update on Infhemi, so we have lots to discuss. When we last left off, we had loaded it up from Dynomite Headquarters and taken it to friend of Dynomite and Infhemi driver, Nathan Cooper, for body work and final prep. Coop (as we call him) worked vigorously on the...

Our Lemons Rally Project
Like any modern day business with 'business-sense', we're always looking for ways to promote our business and get eyes on our internet content. We already promote the business prominently on our vehicles, which gets a lot of eyes as we travel to shows and garages across Ontario. However, we were looking to do something a bit different. That something different...

Project InfHemi Update #2
It's been a couple of months since our last written update on Project InfHemi, so we thought we better update everyone on what's been going on. Obviously the holiday season slowed us down a bit, as well as the bitter cold Winter (I hate Winter!!), but progress has been made. It took several orders from Summit Racing and trips to...

Project InfHemi Update #1
Since we first introduced you to our drag truck, Project InfHemi, we've been progressing nicely. Here's what we've been up to so far. We've had all the wheels off to inspect the brakes and rotors. Everything surprisingly looked good so we simply cleaned them up, lubed them up, and slapped the wheels back on. At that time we also opened...

Introducing Project InfHemi!
As we revealed this past Saturday, we have a new project that we are really excited about. We're calling it Project InfHemi and it comes in the form of a 2004 Dodge Ram short box regular cab with (you guessed it) a 5.7 Hemi V8. What we plan on doing may seem a bit unconventional, but that's how we roll!...

1982 Dodge D100 Kijiji Build
With the internet's rise to power, gone are the days of swap meets and newspapers as the only source of finding your car parts (don't get me wrong, swap meets are still awesome!). The internet has essentially exposed us to a world (literally!) of new sources; Kijiji being the most popular choice for Canadians. On Kijiji, your only limit is...

Performance Testing on a 2005 Dodge Magnum
As we've said before, one of the benefits of having your own dyno at your disposal is the ability to test performance gains on any change we make to a vehicle. One of those test subjects we have right now is a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT with the 5.7 Hemi V8. It shares a platform (called the LX platform) with...

Our Vehicles
1997 Ford Mustang GT - View the 1st Dyno run HERE - This car was our first car that we bought as a company. Stock, the 97 Mustang GT produced a measly 215HP, which is pathetic for V8 standards! Our plan was a horsepower build with dyno runs after key changes. Right off the trailer we dynoed it and got...

Introducing a New Business Venture
Last month we unveiled a new venture that goes hand in hand with our dyno service. We've purchased a "well-used" 1997 Ford Mustang GT for the purposes of showcasing a horsepower build up. We'll be dynoing after each major change, which will give you an idea of what to expect should you want to do a similar modification. After we're...

Absolutely not, but it has gone well and we're improving and learning from mistakes with each week that goes by. We're building our brand as well as building respect from the very passionate local gear head community. First we'll talk about...

The Road from Vision to Reality
Everyone at some point in their life has had an idea for a great business. However, most of those ideas never come to fruition because the road from vision to reality is not easy. Here's myself and Jason's road from a vision in late February to narrowly making it to the first Arm Drop event on May 20th, 2017. (more…)
