another Dyno day???

[team23jordan]

i'm in

 

[wizbangdoodle]

OK that's 3 including myself. We need 5 minimum. Anybody else? Hmwave?
I'll call today to see whats available

 

[Shangsta]

Ill commit i need to see how healthy my engine is

 

[wizbangdoodle]

OK. Carb Connection in Kirkland has the 25th of this month available or the 2nd or 9th of Oct. So what's it gonna be. It's $75 per car for 5 or more of us, no tuning. Tell me what date works for everyone and I'll set it in stone.

 

[team23jordan]

we want dyno tune tho

 

[hmwave]

You won't get a dyno tune session for $75. That's really a private session with them on an hourly basis.
Last time they let us do Predator tunes if we were quick because we had so many cars to bump the profits.

How many pulls for $75? Three is typical.

I'm in but prefer the later dates.

 

[wizbangdoodle]

The guy I talked to was really cool and I'm sure, if it's not too busy, you might be able to sneak a tune in here or there. I am not sure how many pulls you get. It may be 3 but I thought it was 5. I'll call to clarify. If it works for everyone I'll set it up for the 2nd of Oct. Give me yea's or nay's.

You get 3 pulls......thats how many we had last time I set it up. You have at the most about 5 minutes between pulls, but dont expect it all the time cause just depends on whos working the dyno. WIZ, if you only get 5, you should check into renting it out hourly that day for actually tweeking on the dyno....

[wizbangdoodle]

Thanks for the info Rick. It is 3 pulls.
I hate to do this but I am out of town on the 2nd so it is either the 25th or the 9th of Oct. What's it gonna be? Spread the word so we can get a good turnout.

 

[RickSvt]

When I set it up last time, I believe I had about 18 cars come out there for the dyno day, it was a great turnout. You should actually look more into the tuning with the predator on the dyno, that way you only need 5 people and it will probably cost about 15-175 for about an hour on the dyno, enough time to tweak your tune

[hmwave]

I prefer the 9th.

 

[wizbangdoodle]

Since you were the first to speak up, Hmwave, the 9th it is. Let me make the call and get it going.

I agree, Rick, tuning time may be a better way to go. I have a stock Cobra so I was looking at just baselining my car. If others want tune time let me know.

 

[team23jordan]

i'm in
and i say we do that predator tune thingy that rick mentioned

 

[Joe5.0]

saleens in we dont really need tuning i think.

 

[wizbangdoodle]

OK, it is on for the 9th of October. They start at 10 am. You get 5 pulls to make sure you get the best run. I spoke with Alex. He said they do 5 pulls because some cars make more power on their last pull as opposed to the 1st. Depends on oil temp etc. They shy away from doing tunes while doing a group like ours because people get in too much of a hurry, then accidents start to happen. His suggestion was to have anyone who wants to baseline their car (like myself) go first. Then anyone who wants to tune can be at the end of the line and they will negotiate the tune price, normally $225/hr. He said they may go as low as $150/hr. Let's get everyone their and pray for sun.

 

[team23jordan]

so they make a predator tune for us or what?

 

[wizbangdoodle]

I believe they do, however, Alex mentioned they are contemplating becoming a Superchips dist. They do have in-house tuners.

 

[RickSvt]

They usually take the predator tune and tweek on it I believe, unless you do the chip route

Rick

 

[team23jordan]

what if...you dont have a custom predator tune??

 

[wizbangdoodle]

From what I understand, they can do just about anything you want, as far as tuning goes.
