Default Dyno Day VA Speed

Looking to put together a Dyno day at VA speed for the 29th of May.

Time will be set when Ed gets back but it either is going to start at 9am or 12am I will no Tomorrow!

Dyno day will cost $50 per person and you will receive 2 pulls. We can Bar-B-Q or we can get some food after a cruise to Jenros.

I will update this post and your $50 dollars is non refundable as once we book the Dyno there is no turning back. I will have faith that you will pay on site or you can paypal me in advance!

I am looking for at least 10 people and so far I have:

1. Mariofromnewyork
2. Deadcafe
3. Deadcafe
4. Leukic
5. Vallivette
6. Ninjalions
7.
8.
9.
10.

The good thing here is at VA Speed you'll get a real number - not some inflated tricked up HP number. The bad thing is at VA Speed you'll get a real number - not some inflated tricked up HP number.

I think alot of people take as gospel the numbers puked out by some shops using all kinds of dyno tricks or flat out manipulating the results. On LS1tech there are more than a few "happy" dyno's. Great as a sales tool and for "dyno racing" but little else.

I tried to get on their Dyno on their open house day, but just ran outta time. Because I am wanting to see the difference my car will do.

All are welcome to come by and hang out as stated before $50 gets you 2 dyno pulls.

Afterwards we can take a little cruise and go from there.

It will be fun!
