Thread: Dyno day! AKA: "That's ALL it's got??"

  1. #1

    Default Dyno day! AKA: "That's ALL it's got??"

    I am in-need of another dyno day to get some numbers post-header/midpipe, so I'd like to propose that someone ELSE (looking at you, Cosmosmpower) do all the work and planning to make one happen!

    In order to make this happen, it would be good to start getting a list of people who would likely participate. Date is TBA, but most-likely a Saturday morning in Feb/Mar. FYI - most local dyno days give you 3 pulls for around $60, sometimes less. Depends on total # of commitments.

    Maybe if I can make a healthy 20% cut.

    Seriously though if this list reaches about 15 people I'll ask.

    Any objections to Alamo in Arlington? I can talk to Brice and see if he can do it.
    Wealth, power, and experience are apparently not enough to save us from social influences. Groupthink, as described by I.L.Janis, is the tendency for group members to reach a consensus opinion, even if that decision is downright stupid (Janis 1982).

    It's not my dyno/shop/event, I don't even need to dyno any of my cars. You guys can go sort it out on your own if you want to bitch and moan. I was just trying to help out people that wanted to get some numbers on their cars.
