Dyno Day!
#1
Me (Ryan), Stephen Turner, and Chad Rhodes are going to get our cars on the dyno sometime next week in the evening or next Saturday the 17th at Valley Dyno Service down by Elkton. I was wondering if anyone would like to join to try to get a group discount going and what day or time works best for you. Post up a comment if you want to come and what works best for you!

Spark plugs didn't fix my misfire so I'm going to wait until I get that figured out. Won't be this week likely though. No point in dyno'ing until it is running 100%.

Shit happens when you make more than 200 hp Big Grin

Even though neither of these problems are related to power.

Boost - the cure to a full wallet. Have to run plugs that don't blow out but more likely to foul....yay!

We should set up a dyno day. I am curious about either the diesel or the m3.

The guy in Elkton will do Saturdays so that should make it easier for a lot of people if anyone is actually interested.

Right in the feels Cry

If a lot of people join I'm sure we can get a group discount it is $70 for 3 runs right now I believe according to Stephen. I could only do Saturdays after this week.

Yeah saturdays would work best for me too. He said $70 for a few pulls or $100 if you're going to be tuning and messing around with stuff.

Why don't we just get a bunch of guys together and go to an already existing dyno day? Might be more fun. When does MachV do their dyno days? How about PAS?

15 minutes away is a hell of a lot closer than a few hours is the main reason. I don't really care that much. I just want to see how much I've gained with the JB4 turned off vs the map I normally use.

I'm just trying to get a dyno I have nothing impressive so I don't think I'm driving anywhere but to Elkton. Might go on my own if things are taking too long.

PAS usually has their dyno available for pulls during their open house which is held every June or July (can't remember exactly).

Alright everyone. I have updated information for the dyno. It is $100 for 1 hour open session on the dyno. Unlimited runs, you can tune. You can do whatever you want. Monday through Saturday by appointment.
