BRG Racer, DYNO DAY?
 
So Tom, when we doing that dyno day? I know Olderguy is interested too.

Another 2007 NE meet would be fun. I expect to go in the next two week or so myself.

samnavy 10-10-2007 10:36 PM

Damn!!! Wait until I get my MS up and running!!!

TurboTim 10-11-2007 08:15 AM

I'll come and maybe dyno my car NA for shitsngiggles. Or I'll save my $50 and use it towards an intercooler..

Paul, your Burns and silicone on order?

cardriverx 10-11-2007 08:32 AM

It's been in DE that last two times.

Newbsauce 10-11-2007 09:23 AM

can we move the dyno day a little closer to VA? Like MD or something? If not I will shut my mouth and come anyway :)

olderguy 10-11-2007 09:28 AM

Maybe if "someone" would organize one in VA or MD, the NE guys would road trip and take the onus off Tom:bigtu:

olderguy 10-11-2007 10:35 AM

Dibs on Scott's house

Braineack 10-11-2007 10:37 AM

my couch is quite large and can fit two comfortably :rofl:

I didn't say anything about the couch or your wife, but if that's an option..........:drama:



EDIT: Sorry, for a minute I didn't realize I wasn't on the Mob site.

That Deleware drive was 4hrs but worth it. I'd love to find place in Richmond that would be a little longer for the NoVa/DC types but would proabably entice a few NC guys to come up!

And WTF is with only "1 car per hour"??? What if a guy only needs 3 runs... do we wait 50mins until the end of the hour so the next guy can go? What's the point of renting it out for the day then if we're limited in the number of cars? I think that's crap!

Braineack 10-11-2007 10:49 AM

It's a load based dyno, we are talking an hour of EFI tuning here. not a few pulls to spin a roller.

y8s 10-11-2007 11:02 AM

how many cars did we do last time? 10ish? Maybe we could sweet talk GT into letting us do a few short pulls.

Braineack 10-11-2007 11:17 AM

I bet if we have more than 8 and a few only want three pulls they'd have no issues

brgracer 10-11-2007 08:17 PM

I'll get cracking on it for soon, but I was hoping for it to be a smaller tuning session dyno day, but whatever, the more the merrier.

IMHO, I think that for tuning, it's better to have fewer cars and pay for the loading dyno, but for a full out dyno day, it just seems to keep growing so cheaper and just power runs makes more sense. Plus, if we keep going back to the same dyno the results are more comparable in a way.

Heck, if there's a lot of interest beside a few local guys, I'll make better plans, just let me know.

I'd love in the spring to have a big dyno day and have peeps chip in and I'll buy food/drink for the grill at the dyno to have a big BBQ as well since it seems to take almost all day. Or, if some of the guys want to make a longer weekend of it, there is a ton of fun stuff that we never get to because we're stuck at the dyno. Just to name a few that are right nearby: paintball, kart racing, firing range (with rental fully autos), drag strip, and good eats for the fatties. I'm running it by the wife (and it might be college style crashing on the floor type thing), but I could probably house 4-5 guys for the peeps coming up from far so we can fit in more stuff. Just a thought.

Hell, if there's enough advanced warning for next year, it would be awesome to have a east coast dyno day (somewhere between the NE and Atlanta?) and make a road trip of it. Might even get a discount if we rented a block of rooms in the same place. Just a thought.
