Well guys, it is getting to be that time of year again!

As always, this is the first of many planning/originazation threads I will do about the dyno.

Two things to be sure of here, I need to make sure we get enough cars there, so that we can get a good rate. I also need to figure out a date that we would like. After holding the spring last year, I think we should be back at the January date. This is of course up for discussion.

No poll right now to start with, just discussion.

The dates in January we would likely shoot for would be either the 20th, 27th, or Feb 3rd.

Discuss away. If you are a "90% sure I will BE DYNO'ING MY CAR" please say so, so I can try to get a fairly good count, and also let me know what weekend you would prefer.

As always
Thanks,
The Dewey-Lama

The Camaro runs again (not necessarily in top form though lol), but count me in on any dates! The earlier in january the better, but I will attend no matter what the date. I may have one or two of my friends/co-workers that will want to dyno a vehicle as well if that's not a problem.

Dewey316 · Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2005 2:39 pm Post subject:

It will be on a Saturday. Figure about $60. I won't know the exact number until we have some confirmed numbers.

How many pulls was it? Here you will get 3 pulls, video of your car, and the CD with all the data. This also includeds a wide-band readout, which some shops charge extra for.

I think it was something like 75 last time? Iunno, I just remember having to go to the ATM lol (they dont accept debit or credit cards, so bring cash).

They also provide earplugs... which become priceless after a couple cars Wink

I just checked. Last year it waws $65. I would image it will be the same this year.

Jimmy would go, but the heads... are iffy on the guides, grind, and seats.... shop wants $300..... don't know If I wanna do that. Certainly don't wanna put em on and have the guides leak and or something else go wrong soon.

Paul, bring those heads and a valve or 2 with you tomorrow night.. Let me take a look at em. I could probably beat that price at work unless they really need everything.

The shop is in Lake Oswego, just off I-5, we usualy do pizza friday night, somewhere in portland, saturday is the dyno, then we party that evening. Sunday we usualy do breakfast before everyone starts heading out.

My vote is for late January. I know I can't make it first weekend in Feb. Not going to run the rollers again till I have some go fast goodies...

this might be a dumb question, but i'm new.

why is this thread in "back poarch" seems like it should be in "events/gathrings"

what gives? Confused

Dewey316 · Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 4:41 pm Post subject:

I'll post info in the events area, when I have dates/confirmation etc.

This forums gets more traffic that the other one, so I put this here in hopes of getting more response.
