Default Silicon Valley Dyno Day?

Who would be interested in a dyno day in the Silicon Valley area in June or July? Still checking around for rates and locations, but found at least one place that would do 3 or 4 runs per car for $75 each, with a minimum of 10 cars. Who's in?

Last time I did this I blew my turbo. Actually thought it was my headgasket at first. I probably will attend the event but not on the Dyno.

What place?

Find a place that uses the wideband.
A lot of places charge extra money to stick the sensor in your tailpipe.
Kinda ridiculous. You should ask.

Yes, I confirmed $75 includes the a/f ratio.

Ohhhh yeah, now we're talking. I should be in by then. I'm waiting for my wideband sensor to come back from repair in Australia....but my car should be broken in by then.

This Dyno Day would be in Santa Clara -- next to San Jose in Northern California. So far, I count the following people as in:

Tom
Mike S.
Brad-Cam
Gary Gaukler
Darius Juca

We're half way there. We need 5 more confirmed to book the day. Come on out now lurkers, this is your shot. I figured it would be a good way to meet up -- compare note, etc.

I would consider it ... I have APE II but want to go with a LR II or better yet
Vitesse II... It would be a good starting or reference pt ...
Darius I thought you were in S CA ...

I'm in if the 924 is done by then. Maybe I should bring the rabbit instead....60-70hp to the wheels!

Of course. Come one, come all. Can I add you to the list? June 12 is the most likely date.
