Default Anyone interested in a Dyno Cell build topic?

Hi folks,
Been considering this for a while as most of our followers on Facebook seem to quite enjoy it, but not sure how well it would go down on a forum as your all into cars, and not necessarily buildings LOL

So please vote with your mouse as to whether or not you would be interested in a dyno build topic showing pictures and general thoughts / procedures on how we are building our dyno cell from scratch.

It will be a bit of a mammoth thing to put into words and pictures, but if people are interested then I will find the time to do it.

We see them all the time in mags and hear about people putting thier cars on them for mapping and power runs so it would be really good to read up on what goes into building one and setting up etc.

I vote yes.

Not entirely bothered whether there is or isn't but certainly different to the norm so may give people more appreciation into the work that goes into getting one of these things plumbed in and setup.

been following it on fakebook, seems plenty of people interested inc myself,
be nice to see whats involved as its clearly not just bolt it down and plug it in,
be good to see the problems you've had to overcome with cell temps and air flow etc,
and if anybody doesnt want to read about it then they just dont bother to read it, simples
get it done

We see them all enough period in magazines and listen to about individuals placing their vehicles on them for applying and energy operates so it would be really excellent to study up on what goes into developing one and establishing up etc.
