so min 30 amp is the best? or higher? thanks

oh , Ive heard that dyno favors the motor with the highest rpm to be the best, I never used one but a friend of mine does have one and he tells me that he uses it mainly as a paper weight on his desk, but like I said I never owned one or used one.

Depends what motor you're testing - the power source for the Fantom is used to spin up the motor with a flywheel attached, so there is a pretty high draw right as the motor starts to spin up.

I usually run mine from a 12v gel cel or power pack and they keep up just fine, but you could could probably get away with a 50A power supply.

I also run a CE TurboDyno in my shop - I find that it's superior for hands-on motor tuning. You can generate nice looking graphs with flywheel dyno's which is why I keep the Fantom around - I use it to generate the final data plot that goes in my packaging.

How much would a Robitronic Pro Master in excellent condition be worth now? Its mainly going to be used tuning stock and maybe 19 turns. I know CE 45 is the best but I like the look of them and can also backup as a charger.

I think people go to crazy on using dyno's either the robtronic,fantom,or turbo dyno are great when they used correctly.Which is basicly to give you an Idea of what the motor is doing...does the fantom dyno like heavy springs not really some motors can fool it yes but after working with a turbo this is also true for that one the turbo dyno tends to like light springs on some motors.As far as I know we used to dyno 7t on the fantom it worked fine sadly I got rid of all my dyno's and am now looking for another one.Just remember no mater what dyno you pick you still won't be able to do all your tuning on it no matter what anyone says.
