Dyno inside a wind tunnel

Any of you RICH guys try putting a Dyno inside a wind tunnel to see how much h/p it takes to run you car at speed? and another thing do any of you think that the injector helps pull the car down the track as its sucking in air? i know the pipes give out down force, and if the injector does will it efect the air going over the car???

Mike, the reason i mention the dyno, is to see what happens to the air flow around the car when the motor is running, for instance dose the hat efect the areo around the front of the car with the blower sucking in air, dose the ex. afect the areo around the side of the car with each pipe pushing out 800 lbs.ea. (on a fuel car) you understand what i`m asking, i gess they could just start he motor but will it give the same results? plus there is less a chance of blowing up the motor under a load.

 

with the absence of actually running a car under load on a scale how do they come up with 800 lbs down force per pipe for a total of 6400 lbs down force? I have a problem with that figure. If that were true a top fuel car would leap off the pavement as soon as the blades closed on an aborted run. Also at what point does this 800 lbs load happen? Is it a constant load? a spike? or averaged? Of course how could you get 6400 lbs of load when the motor turns 600 revolutions per run or thereabouts and only fires a total of 2400 ignition cycles? I think the problems drivers have steering a car when a cylinder goes out can be attributed to raw fuel spray on the tire behind that dead hole.

Prove me wrong by making a run with a set of weed burner headers. Heck you dont even have to buy the headers. just put a 3200 lb load on the end of the header pipe bank and you will have your weed burners.
