    Whats the name of the shop you work at? I may want to dyno my car in the next 3 weeks. There is no good track time before the next race and it would be good to tune it in first.:thumbs2:

    I talked to the owner.. On a Sunday, 350 for the whole day.. and we need to sign release waivers.. other than that we can do what ever we want there short of blow and hookers...

    Robbie, I don't work there.. I help them out from time to time with technical stuff and in return I can do what I want.. like Midnight Madness.. use the lifts etc..

    Ok Im out, you just ruined all the fun.

    $350 may be doable. Ill have to take a head count of who would be in for it.

    basically the less, cars the more you pay but the more time you have on the dyno.. with that extra time you can try different things on the car and see what improves...etc..

    You good at math, can you teach me numbers some day, me no good at that.

    I think id want to get 10 cars confirmed to pitch in on the dyno at $35 each to make this happen. then if those 10 run and we have more time we can take others that show up that didnt confirm before hand.

    The first 10 spots are open to those here. Who is in for it?

    Yes, some of us may want to use this dyno before the group to work out some tuning issues that we may not have time for when we do this as a group. So what's the name and location?

    How does March 11th work for everybody? I need to pin down a date so 71gold and Mashori and can plan their roadtrips.


    Im thinking each person gets 1 to 3 runs for their $35. in between those runs you can make quick carb or timing adjustments. Too keep it moving though it needs to be simple adjustments, no pulling carbs for jet changes. After those 3 runs you can do your major adjustments and wait for the rest of the guys to run and as time permits we can go back through and run a car again.

    Plenty of opportunities to kick in. Going to need to work on burgers, dogs, grill, ect. We can work on that list once I start getting an idea of how many will attend.

    I might be interested. March 11th I'll have to see if I can get that off. I'd just be afraid of blowing the engine.
