We've been talking about doing Ennis for a looong time. Looks like were finally going to do it. Me and the Turbo guys suck at the drag strip and the truth be known, whomever wins, even if it's by 1 tenth of a second, will be able to talk serious smack for a very long time. With that said, I'm going to kick there a$$e$.

Would anyone want to do a dyno day some where? I need to get mine done and wanted to know if anyone else wanted to dyno also. I know most of the BIG GUNs have spent more than enough time on a Dyno but I have not done it before. It would be nice to get a cut in price for a group.

I've been wanting to dyno mine just to see how much power I'm making. Sounds good. Where would we dyno, Jotech?

I don't really know where I would have to contact. I only know of Jotech. I guess I could call them. BTW, I think I'm going to time my car at a 1/4 mile track tomorrow, if anybody wants to come.

I'd be interested in putting my car on a dyno, but only if it's a Dynojet...not a Mustang Dyno. I've already had the car on a Mustang when it got retuned; I just haven't seen what it would do on a Dynojet since the retune.

The middle of June has got to be a great time to get the highest dyno readings! Well.....maybe not, but I'm still interested.

Jotech charges $75 for a dyno w/o wideband and $100 with wideband, so I say we pick someplace cheaper, but a place that knows what they're doing. I don't want them bring our cars past redline.

Velocity performance in Addison did a dyno day a month ago and only charged 35 for three pull with a large group.

I've heard good/bad things about Velocity Performance. But for $35ish, it doesn't sound too bad, seeing how Jotech's price is so much higher.

With Jotech you are paying for the right to say " I got mine done at Jotech." I have talked to the guys a Velocity before and the were real helpful. I have not had to by something from them though. I will call and see if the will give us a deal and how big the group has to be to get the lowest price.

I would stray away from Velocity. I have heard of bad dyno experiences.

I don't know how you could screw up a simple dyno?

I got my car wideband dynoed at Jotech once before. They put your can on a lift, pull the O2 sensor...put in their sensor. Take the car off the lift. Then move it to the dyno bay in the next room. It takes a lot of time to set it all up, especially since we'll be doing a few cars. The other shop MZM in Austin used to Motech (did I spell it right) sensor that went into the exhaust tip...no need to put the car on a lift.

This is all only if you guys were wanting to check your AFR as well.

I just want to know what my numbers are on a dynojet.

I've heard that Velocity doesn't really know what they're doing, but then I also heard that they do a pretty good job with engine swaps.

If we're gonna dyno, I'd prefer to know the AFR as well as the numbers. I don't know what you guys want though.
