[D/FW] Who Wants a Dyno Day???

Anybody interested in doing a dyno day? I think we have enough people here to make this happen.

For the most part.. Dyno Days are usually $30 for 3 pulls.

I posted this on the RX7Club.com forum, but have not received any resopnse yet....

So whos down??

-Harry

OK.. I'LL KEEP THE OFFICIAL LIST HERE. I WILL ALSO CALL SOME LOCAL SHOPS TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WE NEED TOTAL. THE DATE WILL PROBABLY BE A SATURDAY, SOMETIME IN DECEMBER OR JANUARY. I LOVE CAPS LOCK.

1. BigOLundh + 2
3. DazyGirl
4. TeamRX8
5. jenkins-crew
6. dmorales
7. 8 is enough

It's a day where we all go to a performance shop and get our 8's dyno'd. We stick our cars on this contraption where you drive it, but you don't go anywhere, and it measures how much hp you have in a certain gear.

I'd be interested in spectating. I'm stocktacular and planning on staying that way for a while.

If you plan on modding.... its a good idea to get a baseline dyno first. Not all 8s are created equally

Expect anywhere from 170-190 whp

I think I would be interested, but I think you should do it after December. Sounds Like a lot of fun. I"m more interested in seeing some FD's put down some big #'s! :D But I wouldn't mind dynoing for $30 or so. (Even though I"m stock - maybe not by then )

How about the second weekend in January, preferably on a Saturday. Like Dazy said Just about Every weekend in December is bad for me too. If you did it the first weekend maybe but it's still short notice.

Very interested, especially @ $30.00 for 3 pulls. In Houston I paid 65 for 3 pulls with the Boxster S.

Just depends on the date for me.
