Just curious if anyone is doing any dyno time any time soon, My SVT is fairly stock but I would like to know if the few mods I have done have produced any real difference in the car.

I know it certainly feels much stronger than when I bought it.

I've been doing some dyno pulls on my G-Force. But I would'nt mind taking the Focus after I get the SC straped on to see what it has.

I will be going to Hi-Tek to finish tunning for my turbo as soon as my clutch gets intalled maybe we could do a dyno day out of it.
I'm not sure when it will be done but it shouldn't be too long I'll let you know.

Yea I just need to get on the ball and make a couple calls. I'm thinking it will either be at high tec or elite. As tey both have dynojets for higher numbers. Also high te has dealt with a lot of our cars before, and I know the guys at elite. I'll make some calls and gets some rates, then we can set a date.

David dynoed his Ram at Elite acouple years ago. Good guys there. They had a Eclipse outside they were parting out. And I asked how much they want for the back bumper, and they just gave it to me for free.

Yea Shane runs elite,he's a good guy.

No mustang dyno's suck ass. The numbers are about 15-20% lower than they should be. Plus it is a pain in the ass to set them up for jsut FWD cars. I had my old integra on ron's (RS) mustang before, I wasn't all that impressed.

there is no truely accurate dyno measurement. Lots of dynos register horsepower with different methods.

maybe we should have a few dyno days, at multiple shops, so it is easier to compare to anyone

Are you gonna pay for everyone to dyno on a few different dyno's? No. The best results and most accurate results from dyno to dyno I've seenhave been on dyno jets. Plus Ron doesn't know how to run his dyno all that great either.

Is it a roller dyno and how much?
I'm not the MN ZX3 w/ Cali plates anymore.
