Default Dyno meet *Updated 4-08-08*

Dan has mentioned T-shirts and stuff like that too, so dont miss out Any questions let me know.

I will post the info as I have it, and I will tell you that this will happen regardless if we have 5 cars, 10 cars, or 30 cars. It will be open to more than just 350Z's so if you want to bring your STI, S2k, or whatever. The current time frame I can state is looking like 2-6 weeks. I know thats a wide window, but I am just now starting to get the ball rolling here so be patient with me. Post if you are interested, and I will add you to the list.

Again - more info as I get it.

Note to mod's - If you could replace this thread as a sticky over the last dyno thread as I think that thread is dead.
at least 10 people will sound enthusiastic, 8 will find a way out of it. 2 might show if they dont accidently oversleep. gl.

yeah, finally wised up and sent it to a bad *** shop for the right kind of power adders. Superchargers are like prison, you might get by for a little while, but soon enough they are going to break you and rape you.

Anywho, any idea on where to dyno? I have a buddy that has a really sick dynojet dyno...it's an eddie current dyno. Not sure how cheap we could get it, but i'll ask if you guys are interested. The shop is in garland over off of Jupiter and Forest.

Well do what you want, I am going to HPP to dyno this weekend. They have not done me wrong. I have known Manny and Ozzie for years, so show if you want. You are not hurting my feelings.

Sonicspeed, more info on the dyno and keep us updated on the specific details of the dyno day. Hopefully, this will happen unlike the last one I tried to set up and gave up on.

That's how people at DFW are with anything (track, dyno, meets, cruises, etc).

Fuck those bitches. They fucked up my $2.5K titanium exhaust, my rear bumper, my test pipes, and my y-pipe on the fucking dyno. There was no compensation, neither, to fix the shit they fucked up. They did minor damages to 2 other 350Zs that same day.
