A Blackbird Milestone: First Engine Fires on the Skunkworks Dyno
A big day at the Skunkworks!
Keaton’s hard work, thoughtful layout and execution combined with the products, work and counsel of many others all came together today as he brought the first engine on the Skunkworks dyno to life.
While it’s just a start up today, with things like final mounting and sealing up the easy on/off exhaust, finalizing the rapidly adaptable throttle linkage, getting the controls, calibration and data acquisition to be dialed in over the coming days, we are very, very close to making pulls.
Fantastic work by a great team of folks with Keaton leading the charge to the starting line…the starting line to more cost effective and quicker turnaround engine builds, with the ability to accelerate R&D, unleashing more of the G3 Hemi goodness to come.
