Ha.

I live in portland and taking the train do Seattle this Friday to pick up my first 8 from a forum member. Wish this was on Friday.

What does MMCCS customer mean? The car I am picking up already has accessport and I believe its tuned by MM remotely. Does that make me a MMCCS customer and only need to pay $30-40 for dyno pulls?

Thanks

David

you're not a MMCCS customer so if you want MM to tune your car on the dyno then you need to reup for 150 plus dyno/tune costs.

if you just want pulls you don't need to be a customer so it's just $40ish. i haven't worked out the exact number yet.

I'll try to make it. A little confusion as to the timeframe, so... what time is it all starting, tentatively?

From what I know, the festivities start at 10, but they are tuning 3 fi 8s out the gate, so that might take a while. It should go late into the afternoon, so pop on over anytime

Alright, thanks a lot!

So from what it looks like, I won't be able to squeeze in a dyno pull before 1 o'clock, which is fine, but I'll try to show up at least for support

Hey guys, thanks for coming out for the day! Sorry we didn't get any non MM tuned cars up there but it ended up being a loooong day. In fact, we just called it quits at 2.30am.

Many thanks are in order for Easy and MM. They stayed til the bitter end helping to get these cars sorted so we have a little to do list worked up now.

Also, thanks to all who came out. From what I remember this late we had Dan, Kevin, Scott and Scott, David, Don, Matt, Victoria, John, and Tim.

Unfortunately we don't have any really great dyno charts to put up but I'll get them loaded this week some time anyway. It does look like another dyno day is in order though after some mechanical adjustments are made so keep a look out or let me know if you're interested in a tune so we can schedule it. We should also have more time for dyno pulls the next time around.

There are some good stories and photos and videos floating around so we'll get those going in the near future as well.

Thanks again and goodnight.

You most likely are sleeping in as I type this then lol

The best part was watching the look on the faces of the Intec Racing crowd when you wound up the supercharger - they all stopped what they were doing and looked at each other and were not sure to run, hide or what - it was priceless! It was like testing a Boeing 787 engine.

The turbo was a beautiful build, and it will anneal itself together eventually. It seemed to be alive up there on the dyno breathing and spitting at 'ya

You should change the Speed3's tags to "Stump Pulla" hahaha

Sounds like a very productive day . I do wonder however if a better approach would be a two day event where the first day is for the FI cars , just road testing and trouble shooting . That way the dyno session is just for fine tuning and pulling some numbers .

SARX take note !


ducks for cover

yeah its a reasonable idea but we dont have a place to drive safely on the roads at the same gearing/speed/rpm that we can on the dyno.
