Dyno Day? - ZX3_2NV - 03-24-2011
Hey guys Im currently in Talks with DaSilva to put together another Dyno day since we had such a great turnout last year.
Do you guys have any suggestions on what weekend to run it?
or what to do different this year?
Here is the posting from last year.Dyno Day 2010
RE: Dyno Day? - hardk0re - 03-24-2011
I'd be down if I can run two tunes....I want to compare the stock PW tune with my current tune. Seat of pants dyno says I lost a #$#$load of HP.
So run+10minute reflash+run....going to stock usually never fails, its reflashing so risk is there. I'm ok with paying a marginal fee for this "service".

If my project ride is resurrected by then, sure.
RE: Dyno Day? - Mystake - 03-24-2011
I'm interested. I can't say what weekend yet though, I don't know what'll work for me.
maaaaaaaaybe invite the mazda guys out? I lurked their forum and they seem to be looking forward to meeting up with us again on MASIV mondays so maybe we can do it up this year and do some combined events?

I agree. I'd rather have a dyno DAY than a dyno "see how many cars I can fit in at once and make as much money possible so I can then leave as fast as possible" half-hour.
also, better pricing this year. We did it once, it was a success. He can do it again for a better price.
RE: Dyno Day? - ZX3_2NV - 03-25-2011
Hey guys to respond to some of the comments, I will work out the details on pricing but it will more than likely be the same. It was a success for us but they have much bigger annual dyno days and they all pay the same thing. As for rushing thru the cars thats how DaSilva rolls they can go thru 100 cars in an afternoon there is no slow pace for them. But we can always plan something after the dyno day like a small cruise or a photo shoot. Kev as for having down town while your sitting on the dyno I'm not to sure but I will ask. I deff don't have a problem with asking the Mazda guys out after we set the details if you guys are members over there post it up.
RE: Dyno Day? - lonewolf - 03-25-2011
I'm in. i missed last year and regret it. keep updating, it sounds like a fun day and i would loved to meet some more focus drivers.

What about finding a new place to do it then?
And, just give the OK and I'll post it there. A few of them seemed to look forward to seeing us at the monday meets, i dont know how much crossover there was between the two groups in the past but it'd be neat to have two decent sized groups into one bigger one.

FWIW the last time we had a dyno day at Steeda, Pat didn't mind if we took the time between pulls to reflash the ECU ... now, having said that, both the Fusion and the Zetec Focus took no more than 60 seconds or so to reflash ... IIRC the SVT takes considerably longer.
RE: Dyno Day? - NOS2Go4Me - 03-26-2011
If DaSilva wants to treat a community day as a meatgrinder, I'm out. I didn't realize it was at DaSilva. I'm not a Steeda fan, but if they're going to be a little more respectful then sure - I'll go there.
And Daniel and I need AWD dynos, LOL! Just in case the ZX3 isn't ready in time.
RE: Dyno Day? - Oscar The Grouch - 03-26-2011
TBH, I liked Steeda better than DaSilva. Plus Pat seems pretty cool.
RE: Dyno Day? - GFXjamie - 03-26-2011
to be honest here, i would go da silva over steeda. one main reason being, they know how to calibrate a dyno properly and its not a MD its a Dynojet which is far more accurate. We are dynoing cars, why have a 10 minute break in between? it was quick, however if we want to do more then why dont we have a bbq or go out for a cruise and some grub. lots of things we can do to make the day more eventful.
We can also compare dynos to last year as it will be the same dyno just different ambient temps
plus, after all the crap steeda has pulled in the past, i dont dyno there whether it was free even. i dont want them touching my car regardless of the situation.
RE: Dyno Day? - Jmountney1 - 03-26-2011
should do the dyno in the AM a small cruse to a small show n shine after at a place where people could eat if they wanted or do what ever.
