my friend just spent alot of cash on his motor and the shop who did all the internal work said he needs more guages before they can tune it on a dyno?

what other guages does he need?

its a all motor b18c1 has v-afc, and fuel pressure.

parts installed:skunk 2 intake manifold,jg edelbrock 70mm throttle body,aem cai,dc sports jdm 4-1 ss header,skunk 2 stage 2 cams,skunk 2 cam gears,fuel pressure regulator,v-afc,greddy evo exhaust,skunk 2 valves,skunk 2 retainers,skunk 2 valve springs,and he had a full stage 2 port and polish with a 3 angel valve job,aem pullys!

my question is cant he dyno it how it is or is the shop trying to make more money off him?

i told him to take it to the dyno shop since the shop who did the work gave him a free pass for letting them do the work,and tell the guy at the dyno shop to tune it the best he can he should be abel to make it haul *** in a few hours dont you think?

ok he has the guage on top of the fuel filter!
and a v-afc so all he needs to be abel to dyno safely id oil pressure correct?

 

You don't need an oil pressure gauge to dyno your car. It's a good idea to have one all the time anyway though. You want a dyno with wideband O2 anyway, so I don't really see the necessity for the A/F gauge. These gauges are all nice and all, but certainly not required to tune a car.
