Same here. Since I'm stock I'd like to get a good baseline to build from.

Our last dyno day was @ HPP Racing in Lewisville. Do we want to see if they will sponsor another dyno day for us?

I need to see what the headers and TP have done. So I would be down for another day on the dyno.

I was thinking of setting up another dyno day sometime in May. I've removed my exhaust (topspeed pro-1), put back on stock exhaust with test pipes, and now I've got yet another exhaust on my car (surprise for now ).

I'll set up the dyno day. Just suggest different shops where we could dyno at and I'll contact them and try to set something up.

HPP - I think they're pretty cool guys with great price, but perhaps lack of experience in dynoing our particular cars (from past experiences anyway).
Jotech - They think too highly of themselves because of the positive reps they seem to have and justify their pricey dyno prices on that.

Any other shop recommendations/comments/experiences/ect?

HPP would be better because most of us got our first pulls on that dyno. Different dyno would screw the comparison.

i'll show... probably won't dyno though... there's no point unless i just want to compare weather

I would really like to see Dave dyno... see what his Z is up to though!...

Make sure it's going to be a sunny day with a -50% chance of rain please!

i could care less when it is...dyno days are always fun... and i'll see about getting a good camera to take pics and videos...

I'm on my sister's computer so I don't have any pictures of the exhaust. I'll upload one of the pics from my computer later as my avatar and you guys can figure out from there.

Nick, I AM cool. In fact, I'm the shlt!

Btw, a few people already know what exhaust I have. Nothing special.


BACK ON TOPIC...
What days do you want to dyno our cars? I'm leaning towards HPP as are some of the others I see. Let's find the best date and I'll give them a call.

I say lets do it again at HPP. Screw Jotech's $60 dyno. Chris, since you are taking the lead on this why don't you contact HPP for available slots and start another thread with a date poll.
