Post Dyno day in Northeast??

Anybody interested? I haven't looked into a specific dyno yet...so suggestions are welcome.

I'd like to get a baseline run and see what the a/f curve looks like stock before I get into modifying it...
If its not making near stock power I better fix that before I get into making more power eh?

Adrial,

Be sure to attend this Wednesday's PCA meeting. Mike Bavaro from BodyMotion will be giving a presentation on dyno testing.

No dyno at speedsport. Spencer is easy to deal with, though.

Al P, I don't think I'll be able to make the meeting unfortunately..
It starts at 8pm and I have school (HS) the next day...and I'm sure the meeting point (Westin Morristown Hotel) can't be very close to me considering its NNJR and I'm in upper westchester (NY)..

Adrial, It's all of 200 yards from rt 287, about 40 minutes from the TZ, I'm going to try to make it, but I just found out I have a 5 pm meeting at work tomorrow

Has anyone priced out the cost? I hear dyno runs around here cost $150, does everyone realize that?

I've heard anywhere from $70 to $200, I think a lot of comparison is in order. I hear many places will give a group rate. I am interested in this if we can find a decent deal, it's not something I plan to do often.

Well...it looks like we have plenty of interest so its probably time to find a dyno place that'll give a group rate. I asked a while back for dyno places in the area...I'll search for that thread.

Dave, 40 mins south of the TZ? It takes me at least 30 mins to get to the TZ...so thats hour and 10 mins total each way...

Post #952 btw

I am in upstate New York and would be interested if the cost is not to high. I just got done doing a bunch of mods to my engine and would be very intested in seeing what kind of HP it turns.

Can one of you NNJR PCA guys see what Mike Bavaro at Body motion would want if we had a group of say 10 cars? (not unreasonable cause we already have 6 interested.. ).

Also where is he located? I would assume somewhere in NJ. I searched the net but found nothing..

thanks,
Adrial
