Anyone want to set up a So. Cal Dyno day again?

Last year we had 25 people!

Are we looking for only certified Cobb tuners or any dyno? If any dyno...

J&G in La Crescenta would be great. Steve Kahn just had a dyno/tune day there a month or two ago. Normal rates are $100 for three pulls but since we'd be a group it would be more like ~$60/3 runs/person. Great rotary shop - the owner Gazo does great work at a great price, specializes in rotaries. Let me know I'll be at the shop this weekend and I can see what we can work out. Dyno is a dynojet...

I want to go to the same shop we did last year.

That way we can compare.

With 25 people I assume the location was good. It was in Gardena, correct Jedi?

Sleeper you can't tell anything with the Cobb?

I can tell great improvement, especially top end load.

If you give me a heads-up on the date, I'll come out and tune your APs on the dyno.

I just did a dyno day here in Phoenix with Steve Kan, actually. Lots 'o fun with big-HP RX-7s.

Lots 'o fun with big-HP RX-7s.

Was that before or after the drama? I forgot to ask that a minute ago.


I would be willing to join in on the fun if people didn't mind me appearing............:)
Maybe bring a few BHR items to discuss?

Oh I can. I just want to know if it's in my head or not. Butt dynos could just be nothing more than an automatic response to prevent buyer's remorse after all. Irregardless, my ride's MUCH smoother.

If People knew Jeff and I were coming, I would hafta say you could get MORE than 19 cars, easily. I have a trip in April, around the 18th or so, booked for the east coast.

This just goes to show you guys 2 things; 1) Good things come to those who are patient and diligent, and, 2) Jeff and I will eventually get around to meeting every damned person on this forum.:lol2: I am now considering driving from the meet in MA directly to this meet iin SoCal. A fleeting thought, fershure, but I HAVE done crazier things......... I might even have my full nitrous kit back in use by then.:)

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

it'll most likely be at the shop I held the dyno day at last year. I'm tired right now... I'll make a new thread tomorrow and throw up a link here (and all the big West threads)

I'll definitely come for the dyno day, just wont have the resources to purchase the AP because of my upcoming wedding..

You can put me down as a dyno go'er with a non AP car.. If you'll let me hang out with the big boys that is.

I already have the racing beat street re-flash. Would an AP do much more for me?

>speedaddict<
03-27-2008, 05:35 PM
i believe it should since this would be tunning your exact engine, not every engine acts the same

Jedi54
03-27-2008, 05:38 PM
yup, much more that you can alter with the AP. PLUS, if the dealership reflashes your car, with the AP you can simply load your map right back on. (without having to repay)

it would be pretty awesome to the max (max meaning maximum) if you brought a few units to sell that day! seeing it in person (and how much power can be made) would be a huge motivation for me to buy one!
