I am curious about testing that, hence the Dyno. Plus it sounds like fun, I hope I don't find out my car is not up to manufacturer spec..haha.

If all else fails, I'll have good sound and hp/torque gains in my head.

Yes, check out my other thread post "Porsche Tuning Education & Dyno Day". For some reason this forum runs in a frame and can't copy URL to link to it (Seems to only occur in FireFox on a Mac)

If you never been to one, be prerared to be shocked when your "baby" is revved to redline by someone else, for the first time. Its' a lot louder and violent than you might think.

The sound an engine makes under load and without the windmoise, really is something else. I was squinting and waiting when a piston would shoot throught the block. Second time was easier to watch.

What a waste of money. For a latte at the next GTG, Clive can put his hand on an idling beast and estimate the bhp within 10%.

Check out the sign up thread, we're at 6 people. Sign Up. Only a few spots left if we want to max out.

I believe St. Thomas Dragway would be nearby

How long does it sit on redline in order to get the metric ?
