I think it would be more fun if we all got there about the same time to cheer eachother on.

Team Dyno and post mods and dyno numbers of ten to 12 setups. Since I'll probabally be the low man on the totum with a auto 5At trans I don't mind. Maybe it will get other 5AT"ers out of the closet to join in the family fun.

ok, i just called powertrain dynamics in HB to inquire about the dyno day on nov. 1st.....the guy didnt know what the hell i was talking about and said as of right now they dont have anything planned for that saturday. i should've asked for his name, but he said if there are any dyno days set up, it would've gone through him first. he has no knowledge of a group of 350zs wanting to dyno.

soo.......whoever is organizing this has really dropped the ball. all we have so far is a date of nov 1st, which isnt even set yet according to the shop; no info on times, # of cars,....nada

step up organizer(s) and clarify this please!

Excuse the noobness but when people say to get your car dyno tuned what exactly is the shop doing? Also, do they do this at any dyno place? How bout this shop?

P.S. I'd like to swing by to meet you guys and check out the Zs so count me in.

OK GOT THE INFO!!!!

appearently we booked ahead of time, and he hadnt written on his calendar for november. It was in a planner as a "350 dyno day" meaning as ion chevy 350's i assume.

I dropped by the place today and cleard up the confusion with steve. yes we are still on for november 1st. Hopefully that clears a few things up.

I am posting on a different thread a caravan place, if anyone feels like it, and the directions and info on the shop.

sorry for the confusion, but as i said, i would clear it up by the afternoon.

Thanks for understanding!!

BWAHAHAH.

75 dollars for 3 pulls AND its a dyno day? LOL.

If you guys want, I can setup a dyno day here in the valley for 45 dollars which is 3 pulls AND INCLUDES 02 sensor graphs.

Hate to rain on the parade, but I find 75 dollars a little expensive for a dyno day. Generally speaking, dyno days should be cheaper.

Damn, that's a great price. What kind of dyno is it? And, how soon can you set this up. Btw, I agree, I thought the dyno was going to be cheaper than $75 when we have a group of people.

2-3 weeks in advance.

The dyno used is a dynojet, typical dynometer used by just about everyone.

Well guys, the price is a 40% discount from the dynojet offer that was originally $60-$70 but later turns out to be $75. I say we take advantage of M Powered's offer even if we have to bump this a week or two.

I find that VERY hard to believe. That quote can easily be misunderstood and taken the wrong way.

Some may percieve your quote as a reason to go dyno tune their car.

Lets face it, why would anyone want to make more than 3 runs? To make small adjustments of course. Those adjustments usually include, air/fuel adjustments, removal of cut-out, remove air filter/intake box removal and so forth. Believe me, each of these adjustments command at least 5-10 minutes. With that said, for anyone to justify making more than 3 dyno runs without minor corrections would be folly.

Running your car consistently on a dyno means your car will unavoidably lose power every run (Heatsoak) -- so justify away

If you wish to make a dyno day, the dynoshop will require at least 15 confirmed cars.

Let me know ahead of time via email s4dukar@yahoo.com and I will call my friend to see if we can book a date.

SUGGEST WE ALL MAKE THE FIRST DATE AS PLANNED REGARDLESS... IF WE START SECOND GUESSING EACH OTHER, THE WHOLE THING WILL FALL APART... iF WE GET A BETTER DEAL OK' I FOR ONE WILL DO MY PART AND PAY MY PART.

As for the second dyno day, I'm in for that as well . I'll have more stuffl added after the Sema show anyway... It's taken a few daysand months of prep to get 9 guys How are you going to get 5 more regardless of price.

There's always going to be a "rainmaker"in every bunch.. what if you drop out of this one and we do'nt get enough guys for the second. Now who's the fool. it's all about the get together anyway. A Z family function. Stick together thru this one. Whats a few bucks ,we'll blow that on beer and pizza anyway I'll buy. Any Way SP Engineering my local guy charges $125 for 3 runs. I'm sure we'll get what we paid for so do'nt sweat it.

Daytona 350 Z Blue your the man nice work for our benefit.

Twisted out for fun. Lets get Richard out there.. He's get Plenum now . ooooowa

ok, i know where u r comin from. but steve did in fact tell me he would be able to do more than 3 runs per vehicle.

no need to bash on my attempt to try and set at least something up for our community. i was only trying to help.

i will be talking to steve tomorrow to see if i can get a price break.
