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 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.

Some of you guys who are dyno tuning your maps for the first time are going to need a lot more time than you think. If you come in with a decent fuel map, I still could see 2 hours on the dyno--maybe 3--to get spark and boost dialed in. Large groups may not be practical.
Power runs are a different story.

That makes sense. Hopefully I can get a 90% solution with some street tuning. I know for sure I'm not going to see how far my little T25 will go. I know it's good for plenty more, but 220whp is my goal/limit. Even though I baby my 6"dif, I know it's only a matter of time. I'll have my 8psi wastegate and a dash switch to engage the EBC to whatever boost I need for 220whp. THE END!

You're not going to have a 6" diff for forever. Especially with this recent trend of $450 swaps...
