I am still going forward with my plan to have it at RedLine Per4mance this Sunday. Cost will be $40 unless we can get 15 car to show up and pay, which will drop it to $30. For those who can't make it, like the better pricing or location in Richardson ... they can do their own thing.

I will post time and map as soon as I confirm with Redline today.

ps if you want to test some mods the second set of pulls will only be $10 if you are willing to wait till everyone goes once and time permits.

Default Coupes welcome?

If you Z boys do not mind, I may try to join you on your dyno day. Also, I am planning on going up to Kennedale this Thursday as well. There should be at least 2 G35s there.

You have a ProCharger, right? If so, I will try to stay out of your heat during the Import Challenge.

bad news on Sunday .... the owner can only set it up for Saturday. I really tried to do a Sunday but no go.

Dyno day will be Saturday Oct 25 from 10 till 4 pm. Anyone interested should meet at Complete aerokits on 303 in Arlington at 9 am.
http://www.completeaerokits.com/
We will pick numbers to see who goes first, and then get some breakfast prior to going over to RedLine on California just off Cooper. All RSX's 350Z's, G35's and Supra's are welcome.

We are looking to get 15 so the price goes down to $30 for 3 pulls. Those that have to come late can go straight to redline.

I wish I could say that it was just that. I am tied down like a MFer. I am working the rope cutter the best I can.

My buddy in the white T/A ( you met at kenedale) wants to come, ok?

This gives me a good reason to get out of doing the fall clean-up thing.

remind me to think twice about doing a dyno day again, especial after racing the night before .

Thanks to those that came and shame on those that said they would and didn't.

We had a total of 6 who showed up the whole day. It worked out that everyone paid $40 except me ..... $100

I had to put up $300 to guarantee having the dyno for the 6 hours. I did learn how to dyno and Phong the owner of Redline Per4mance is letting me do my own dyno's for free from now on. I guess that is really a win win for me after all

the tuners give it and our ecu takes it away. I had 373rwhp after LoneStar Performance dyno tune it, but today at RedLine I could only get 350

DaddyZ, my ABS lights did go out after I started down the street. 140mph on the rear and 0 on the front wheels probably "did not compute" on the VDC controller. Thanks a lot for doing this and I'm glad Phong took care of you.

moog, I pulled a 239hp/231tq. Reset the ECU with the throttle dance and pulled a 244hp/237tq.

yep I had the same thing happen with all my light staying on until I drove it down the street and taped the brakes once. I can tell you I was scared that I had messed something up at first


I will try that dance you mentioned and dyno it again to see if I can get back what LoneStar Performance gave me with their $140 dyno tune. I sure hope Grubbs didn't waste their money on tuning when this damm Z ecu just steals it back

R U going to Kennendale today or nigth .. I am interested in what effect this new cold air has on my times
