Good to see your going. Will you be hitting your last run with some " funny gas"? That would be interesting to see the numbers.

I'd imagine it's a rain or shine type of deal. Everyone will just have to be in the garage unless they want to get wet.

I wonder if the humidity will negatively effect the dyno results?

the cars exhaust face outside. like driving into the garage. so, no worries on exhaust smell. their fan seems sufficient at blowing the gasses out anyways.

Hmm, don't know yet.

My car isn't tuned yet, and I'm still waiting for my clutch/flywheel to get here.

I would like to go, but wish my car was tuned by then.

Tuned or not tuned, the pre- post spray #s should be interesting.

Ya it's a rain or shine thing, The dyno is indoors but bring umbrellas. As for the air? Cold air is more dense but humidity?

I'm reserving judgements untill after I dyno, I know where I should be.....

Who's bring the donuts and coffee I brought it to Mossey.......

That's what SAE correction is for.

I'm a sad I couldn't get tires for my track 18's in time for this. Running the dyno on 19's is going to affect my numbers (ran all baselines on the 18in rays). Anyone have 2 track model 18's w/ tires I could borrow for my runs?

Default Hold together.............See you guys on Sat.

Would you want thew numbers with your existing equipment? What good would it be to say me car " use to be" 257+ whp when I had 18's. Numbers shouldnt be about ego's but about what your beast is going now.

Besides you can not show up , cause
you called this Meeting!!!!!

Thanks for your help Ron, I picked up that set a couple days ago.

Steve@powertrain was wondering if we'd show up with the rain. I responded that we'll be there rain or shine.

--
Hi,

I would like to confirm if the rain showers will be an issue for the Dyno Day.

Also, if we are on, then could you please ask participants to bring cash (exact if possible) as it will speed the day along.

USB Flash devices are fine if anyone would like the Dyno-Jet data file (requires reader from Dyno-Jet. free-download)

Thank you,

Steve Ridout

It's not about ego at all, it's because I race on 18's and care more about tuning for performance when prep'd for racing. I don't know exactly how much loss i'll see from running 19's, so I won't be able to compare my numbers accurately to other Z's that day.

Han, thanks alot.
