    Talking ATTENTION Lower Mainlanders-need people to book a dyno day-NOT DOING IT!

    I just talked to Marko at Forcefed and we can rent the dyno all day for $100 an hour. So if we get 5 or 6 guys, thats $100-$125 each for 8 hours if we want. This includes 2 of his staff and the wideband for tuning. We just need to give him a few days notice but we should pick a Saturday in late March or early April? So obviousy, first come, first on the list.

    Count me in! The earlier we can pick a day, the more of a chance I have of coming. Also, I should have my cal by then (fingers crossed). I've also done some minor modifications that I want to see if I can squeeze out a bit more power. And I was actually gonna go do a before and after tune with my car as well.

    You guys pay allot!

    We rent the dyno all day, do some tuning & still pay only like $50 each.

    As I have learned since living in B.C. for a total of almost 3 years, it's VERY expensive to have a car hobby here. That's why I still get most of my stuff from the states.

    I know, sucks but what are you going to do.

    I guess you add up staff costs, the cost of the dyno, rent etc and its adds up fast. Oh well, sigh.

    I'd go but I don't have much reason to with the limited performance of my car.

    That way, you can say "my car went from xxxhp to xxxhp with xxx mods," or whatever. Plus if you've put on any boost controllers or an adj fpr, you can tune your car via wideband. Squeeze a bit more out of her.

    If you're really really short I might be able to make it, but 125 bucks to know that my nearly stock VNT makes 160hp isn't a huge benefit to me, and I don't have any boost control, fuel control, etc... I could maybe bump my timing :P

    Re: ATTENTION Lower Mainlanders-need people to book a dyno day!

    Ok, I'll talk to Will, Wop'r's brother might be interested and see who else I can get. I would like to book April 8th as that gives us lots of time to get everything finished up.

    ARGH!! I'm working 11-7pm that day! Maybe I can get it off. If everyone is comfortable with that day, then maybe I can do it.

    Re: ATTENTION Lower Mainlanders-need people to book a dyno day-Thinking April 8th.

    Unless I get some serious YES's, I am dropping it. Or later on but April I am pretty busy, racing middle of the month. I will just go on my own and have an hour or 2 to myself.
