Here you go guys. I have talked with Steve, its looking like April 13th for Dyno.
Please vote, so we can get an idea of numbers to expect, it is crucial that I know how much beer to brew and have set up in the kegarator. _________________

I'm in with a car. If the Camaro magically causes me grief and isn't done by then (it should be) then I'll just throw the truck on the rollers.
I'm gonna try to get Jeremy (Norm the 240sx aficionado) down with something to dyno as well but he might not have anything to go down with this year. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

Ill be there and I'll be putting 2 cars on the dyno possibly. BTW, does Steve's new shop have an AWD dyno or is it still a 2wd dyno? _________________ Richmond 3.73 posi| 36/24 sway bars | SLP LM2 | Koni's | Ground Control 800/200 | Y2K wheels | Dyno Don headers & Y-pipe | airfoil | BBK underdrive pulleys | Raised strut mounts | Extended ball joints | LCARB'S

I'm not sure, I'll e-mail and ask. If it has AWD, I might just put the Audi up, if I have it tuned by then. |

Got an e-mail back from Steve. It is the same dyno, he just moved it. So no AWD. |

Dude, the dyno is in April. I don't deserve to turn wrenches if I can't swap a $150 motor into the bmw in that time. And I've been picking away at the firebird. Not much left now. |

Well you never know. I can think of a few individuals who have projects that havent turn their wheels in many month's and/or years. (myself included). |

I'm suppose to go to a wedding that way, but I think its may or later. I also wont be driving my car, maybe a rental.
If I go, I will try and see if a gathering can be arranged. |

The Berli probably won't be ready for dyno so I will be working on actually putting the 'Bird on the rollers this year. It may even have new paint by then if James and I can get a few things finished by then. _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

I plan on attending, but not sure I'll dyno the car as I have no changes since last year. If Steve needs some more to make the day worthwhile, then I may do it again... _________________ 92 Camaro

If things go as planned, I might be putting something "new" on the dyno. _________________

Hello all,
It was recommended to me over on TGO to chime in over here. I will be attending (barring unforeseen circumstances...)
Haven't done anything major to the engine yet, so probably not going to dyno. |

I talked to my friend Jeremy and he is in for one car as well.
Together we're in for 2 cars.
Just gotta get this LS1 wiring done. _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

It can be nice to get a baseline on the dyno before you do mods, then you can see your gains. We go to the same shop, and run on the same dyno every year, so you have a better chance of seeing changes. (sure, year to year the dyno might read a bit differently) |

It wouldnt be a true baseline, there are a couple small things, but would allow me to at the very least see how the engine does over time. How much is it to put it on the rollers? _________________ 1991 Trans Am WS6 AutoX Project. 305TPI T5. 3.42 Gears 4th Gen Torsen, Spohn SFCs, BMR STB, KYB Shocks, Poly Endlinks, 36/24 sways.
