Who's "we?" How much is it to dyno? What kind of dyno? How many pulls and is it wideband? Address? Who are the people going so far?

My name is Steve. I'm the operator of the dyno at gotham racing. The dyno is a mustang dyno MD500DE. It is an awd dyno that measures up to 3000hp (or traction limited). It will also hold 2400hp of continous load from both eddy current. The price is $35/3 pulls. You also have an option of making 2 pulls and do one 1/4 run on the dyno. This is with the wideband reading. I think we only have 2 more slots left.

most of the people came from www.dallasimports.net There will be everything coming to the dyno including lotus, evo's, subies, 240sx, S2000 just to name a few.

You can learn more on some of the previous dyno day under these links.

Good deal. I want to be there, but it's REALLY far from where I am (close to Oklahoma). I doubt I can make it, because it's so far away.

I edited my post after looking at the map. Ridiculously far for me. If you go, I might have to make a drive down there (slim chance though).

LOL, no particular reason. Mostly because I live on beach/western center so it is only 10 mins drive for me and we have been in business since 2003 so we are not a new shop.

I have a black/black G35 coupe 6MT and the car made 232rwhp. I should have my cobb access port within a week so I'm expecting some hp gain soon.

I'm still debating on whether or not, it's worth it for me to make a trip down there. I do need to dyno and see some important numbers..

It's not the dates that matter (sometimes).. It's the distance. These shops are so damn far away from where I am (10 minutes from OK).

Of course it is worth it for you. You can also do a 1/4 mile run to see where you are. The mustang dyno we have can accurately measure your reaction time, 60', 330', 1/8 mile (E.T and MPH) , 1000' and 1/4 mile (E.T and MPH). The accuracy is within 0.1 of a sec and we have done a few cars that are within .005s from their actual track time. This is closer than you going down to Ennis for a 1/4mile run.

Driving 2 hours for 3 dyno pulls doesn't sound appealing, unless it's free. (hint hint)

And no, I'd rather go to a real drag strip and get a real timeslip.

2 hours? with your car it shouldn't take more than 1 hour 53 minutes.

What's so special about my car that I can shed 7 whole minutes? I'm confused.

It looks fast, has to count for something. Of course if you do decide to make the drive, I would avoid 377 between 1709 and 170 due to construction.
