My machinist shares space with a dyno shop. As many times as I've been there, I've only ever seen one car on the dyno. I was talking to Trev today when I was up there and he told me about the guy that owns the dyno...



Anyhow...on to dyno time. He usually charges $85 an hour for single pulls but...if we get a group of 6 or more people together we can do a dyno "day". He charges $50 a car and you get as many pulls as there is time to do. What he'll do is put a car on the dyno and do a pull and then a second pull. If the first and second pull aren't within a couple of hp, he'll do another. Trev says he's seen this guy do 5 pulls in a row before he loads the next car. There is an extra $10 or $15 for doing a pull with the o2 hooked up.

So...there you have it. If you want to tune a bit or if you just want to know how much hp your car is putting down, this seems like a pretty cheap way to go. I realize we probably won't do this until the spring when everyone pulls the beasts out of the garage but it's something to keep in mind...

sounds liek a sweet idea next spring forsure

what about the kickoff weekend maybe??? just a thought....that would def be a cool thing to do...track night, BBQ/Dyno Day, then a mini cruise

i am giggling already...

ciao

You do that evey time I tickle you...

I say lets do this...when i get a car working

ciao

Too late for xmas 2006, be the first to get your sweetie the Tickle Me Viktor! Optional underglow not included.

YES, definiltly. and as Vic said the May weekend would give us time to get the cars out of winter storage (I know... what winter)



It may even be tempting to book 2 spots for my car

I'm down, any time, any car

I'd LOVE to know what ANY of my cars put to the wheels

well...one lady already has the unreleased prototype version...



Dale...shall we post this on the TB thread then??? get some more interest going???

ciao

Sure...why not? He wants a minimum of 6 cars but if there are more, why not?

if there are more cars then that means less runs for us because its as many runs as you can in a set time

well i think it would be cool to do even if you get like 2-3 pulls

BBQ out front of the shop....dyno inside.....make it a regular SE meet....only less drunk robin etc.

ciao

a regular systems engineer meet? stabbing eastwards? sobbing elders?

who is robin? and why is he/she drunk?
