JSG1901 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Type Modification to an existing rule Existing rule section (if applicable) Requires the dyno be set to SAE mode with a smoothing factor of 4. Proposed change Change the smoothing factor to 5. Reason Most other NASA classes use a smoothing factor of 5. When we have dynos at the track, more often than not that's how they're set. Rather than add one more thing for the (usually overworked) dyno guys to do (or to get wrong), let's just change our requirements to match the rest of the field. Proposed new wording Change "smoothing factor of 4" to "smoothing factor of 5." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke P. Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 For. If it will help the process, I don't see the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rokket H. Posted October 15, 2013 Members Share Posted October 15, 2013 For. Athough I had experimented with different smoothing factors when we did a dyno day and there was virtually NO difference at all. However, the 5 works out fine and has been no problem so far.

doclouns Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 FOR! Got GTSU'd for missing that on my dyno sheet, was 5 not 4.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric W. Posted October 18, 2013 Members Share Posted October 18, 2013 I would take it a step further and say they can be either 4 OR 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottbm3 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Haven't really seen any difference between 4 or 5 on the dyno. If you change it make current dyno sheets grandfathered until they expire, so everyone doesn't have to run out and get a new dyno run. -Scott B.

J Smith Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Does it really matter? I've never seen any significant difference between the two. I agree with Wonger and think factors of 4 or 5 should be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
