Puget Sound Area Dyno?
Hi everybody,
As part of my decision making process, I would like to dyno my own car to see what it is producing. I'm hoping to see at least 200 at the wheels so that I can confirm Mazda's new stated HP.
Anyway, anybody have any suggestions as to where would be the best place to take our RX-8s for a reliable test?
Thanks for any suggestions!

You shouldn't dyno your RX-8 until is is past the recommended break-in period, and even then you really shouldn't dyno it until you have 4000-6000 miles on the car. Also keep in mind different dynos, i.e. dyno jets, mustang dynos, roto dynos, will all yield significantly different numbers. If you dyno on a dynojet, I wouldn't expect 200, you will probably be more around 175-180 and getting closer to 190 the more miles you have on your car. You can try intec racing, http://www.intecracing.com, they are 40$ for 2 runs +15$ for wideband hookup, they are based in Kent.

Well, if one should wait until 4000+ miles, then I'll not be able to get my own car tested before Oct. 1, when the Mazda offer expires. Hmmm, hopefully others out there are providing good information.
