The Owwdee gets replacement parts, no go stuff unless a stock thing breaks. I figure it makes around 160-210awhp, pending the torque converter slip.

I plan on starting a new project this upcoming spring or fall hopefully and will be out in 2011 or 2012. With the new house and school and side jobs, to busy for one at the moment. If they werent on a Saturday I'd come out and check one out.

I thought Dyno days were a way to make $$ by price low to get alot of people in which would bring in more money in the end. Rather than not so many people paying full price. I remember when I had a mustang and TCS had dyno days you paid like $25-$30 for 2 or 3 pulls..

Ill be there shootin the shit tho!!

Most shops around charge $75 for 3 pulls for just any regular day, DB, MAP, HiTech, etc.

The TCStangs dyno day this spring was even $50 if they had more than 15 cars. $60 if they had less.

This event is not a bad price at all if you ask me, and better organized than most other events around.

I dont even know how people can complain this is too much money. Seriously dumb...

wish i could make it but i'll be in california for my cousins wedding.

If you can't afford the extra $20 over these mythical $30 dyno days, then please just come and hang out as you say, but leave any badmouthing at home. These events are meant to be fun, part of a hobby, weekend fun. A little negativity goes a long ways.

I guess I havent been to a dyno day in a while so yeah I can understand inflation I think people are taking the comment wrong. Im not bad mouthing the event.. or the price. Just from what I have went to seemed high. But youre right that was along time ago and a 2wd DJ vs an AWD/FWD DJ.. The idea I gave was just an idea, When we did the TCS one the last one I was at was when John Hailey had his shop in SLP. They had the moderators or something strap the cars... It was like $30.. but that was 6yrs ago or so lol..

But Like I said, Ill be there to have a good time and see some cars hopefully not break!!

What are you down in Texas or whatever for anyways?

Compared to some of the guys, your mod list sounds pretty reasonable/modest. Do you know what it put down totally stock or was that your first run with it?

My car originally put down 210 hp and 240 tq on DB's dyno. So with a little over a grand invested the car makes another 50 whp and another 40 wtq. Over all its a pretty modest build. I've spent the most money on my suspension so far, I like to think that this is the way the car should have originally came stock from the factory.

I'm in the process of putting miles on my clutch, and there is a good chance you guys will see me there.

LOL I can hardly get some of them to show up, and I doubt any modern dyno facility would trust some internet geeks strapping down the cars.

JHM was and still is a joke.

LOL internet geeks! Im sure the dyno facility would trust them, Id be more concerned about the owners lol..

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

I dunno about you, but I know I wouldn't want someone who doesn't know anything about operating a dyno, responsible for making sure my car doesn't go flying off the rollers at the top of 3rd gear with the wheels spinning at 90+mph. I'll leave that to the people who run the dyno every day.

Did you not read anything I and others wrote above? I've ran and attended tons of dyno days and even when I 'help out' I will not be the one to put the final tug on the straps, and the dyno facilities drive the car on/off the rollers, as well as do the actual pull. Its cool that you want to question every little detail, perhaps you would care to volunteer to help us out for the day? That would be the most helpful

[A//// Guy]

I think Mike Neal should be dyno day bitch.

[polishmafia]

I second that notion.

We already have one! But more help = good, especially with hughes moving soon...I'm going to be looking for more 'permanent' help for these things if anyone is interested.

[FattyBoomBatty]

If you make me a mod, I'll help on every one.

And I also think john hailey sucked. It's funny that the comments about his prices are that they were cheap, but everything else about his business was a rip off.
