I know what you mean about gettin a car dyno ready. I have been scrambeling trying ot get my ignition solution put on and now i am waiting for my midpipe to get here in time. I just wnat to have to do the dyno and tune thing once.
i would suggest new plugs and maybe even wires. As far as coils go i do not know how you can check them. Maybe take them off and check out the back of them. See if you can see any white spots where they could be failing and or grounding out. if you have not gotten a cel from a misfire you are most likely ok though

That was also with almost 10:1 compression in all 3 chambers of both rotors. The one thing I didn't do was replace my plugs, wires, and coils before the run.

hmm... with most bolt ons dont people usually get about 200 anyway? 200 seemed like a realistic number to me ... 210, 215 with tuning... hmm.. i guess only time will tell.

I agree bolt ons do not give you hardly any power... but if stock 8's are dynoing at 180 i do not see why my revi intake and ram air duct, midpipe, catback, Ignition Solution, and underdrive pully all would not give me 20 HP to make it a total of 200 before the AP. Hopefully...lol

So, does MM even know about this thread yet? I figured he would chime in with his thoughts and input. Maybe with what he would charge to do our tuning for us, and if he could bring an AccessPort to the dyno for me to buy off of him that day.

I'm here.
I just don't have anything to contribute.
I've discussed my calendar with CRH, so we have an idea of when we are available.
Once you have settled on a target date, I can let you know if I can block it.
I usually travel with some APs, so getting one on the spot is a possibility.
I like my hotels!
Once the date is nailed down, we will discuss expenses. I'm pretty good at keeping them down.

The shop I have been talking to is Performance Autowerks. They told me the dyno was free on JUNE 7TH and that we should book it soon if we want to get that date.
However, in order for them to allow Jeff to make adjustments they will only allow 10 cars. I don't mind this because I don't want to be there all day like the SoCal dyno day. Plus it looks like we only have about 8-10 people interested right now. If we have 10 cars then the price is $50 each for the dyno. If we have less than 10 the price is $70 each.
We will work out the additional costs for people who want tuning later once I have talked to Jeff about it more.
With this information what does everybody think? Do we want to go ahead and book the dyno or do we want to talk to some other shops?

Fifty or Seventy dollars, either way i think its a go. Most of us will spend more then Fifty on gas to get there and back home. My vote is to go ahead a block the dyno for that day.

I'm in but I will not be needing a tune. I just want to base dyno before some major upgrades 
If we do get more than ten people who want a MM tune I will release my spot.

Book it
Tdiddy,
How long would we have the Dyno for? If we are short in terms of cars I can a few friends her in Madison if they want to Dyno (350Z and Charger RT)

what was your cost each again? i'm prolly in no matter where tdiddy sets it up. i might be able to get p&l to play ball, but if not:
I need AP unit + tune!
Yeah!

The DynoJet usually gives slighly higher numbers, and is best for comparing two different cars in two different parts of the country. Since you are rotating a known mass, there are no calibration settings other than ambient and baro...etc. But is a more apples to apples comparison when trying to compare to cars. You can tune on them, but its more challenging to hit the part throttle points, becuase there is no load on that dyno.
The Mustang Dyno, Dyno Dynamics, DynaPac, etc...are all inertial based eddie current dynos. They use a electical current on the drum, to simulate load. This allows you to hold the load at a specific RPM or throttle point, for better and more precise tuning. However, due to the myriad of calibration settings, it is not very accurate when comparing two cars on different dynos. Also, it is much easier to fudge the numbers to crease higher dyno charts..not that anyone would do that....of course.
My personal opinion is that the load based dyons are much better for tuning, and the dynojets are better for getting comparable HP numbers to compare different cars with one another.
