Do you guys ever have any dyno day's? I'm just curious, I've never dynoed a car before, but I think I want to with this one, just to see.

 

I'd like to dyno my beast also

-Alex

 

I am goin to dyno tommorow at drift office at 12.

 

we do have them every so often
usually it ends up falling through closer to the date though....

 

if my cars working I would love to finally put my sea cow on a dyno

 

So uh.... anyone up for this soon? I've never dynoed before and really have no idea where to go, I mean I saw the local dyno list but is one better than another? As in does one take better care of their equipment?

 

dyno we always use, great prices, great location, great everything, is at drift office. Bob owns the place and the other bonus is its next door to mcdonalds :P

 

I need to schedule some time with Vince. I NEED A T00N!

 

well drift office is where vince usually goes
bob (owner) will clear time for vince pretty much whenever needed

 

Hmm across from the Chevy dealership? I'm sure they are good, just not sure I want to be that close.

Anyone hear any good or bad about Pina in Kent?

 

never heard of them... let me know when theres a date planned I will my best not to beat my car too much untill then

 

what do you mean "be that close"

 

I had the bret chevrolet in kent replace my head when the timing chain tensioner failed under warrenty at 15k because it was right across the street from my work on west valley highway and they did a shitty ass job. I think they went out of business already though. But FYI to you NW cobalt guys be careful when it comes to dealerships around here they are just trying to get paid. Warranty jobs don't pay they eat that cost.

 

I just don't want to be that close to a chevy dealer when I'm doing dyno runs that's all.

 

I doubt they will do anything. You really think they will pay attention? Either way unless they write down your plate and check every white tc or whatever color car you have comes in to get serviced they won't know it's you. Mainly if your cars back to stock when you take it in they can't do ****. I have never had a problem with GM warranty service, just dealerships trying to get out of doing the work since they eat the labor cost.

 

Just the same, I have my issues with that dealership and think the wrong people there know my car, especially since there are only 118 white 09 SS's in the country

 

for sure I totally feel where you are coming from. Are you going to come out to our winter meet?

 

they wont care about your car there, for all they know your going to mcdonalds...

anywho, thats the only reliable and trusty/ cheap dyno i know of. and because its all about consistancy so ill never dyno on another so i can compare numbers

oh, and there is NO rules about dynos for a car...they cant do **** even if they wanted

 

But what they can do is walk across the street after you leave and say hey I saw that white Cobalt ss in here, just for fun, what kind of numbers did it put down? OH really, is that so then go and make a little note in the computer. Sure I might be over reacting but then again, maybe not.

 

def over reacting on that one haha

also, bob wont give out your info

 

Not sure if I will come out, as I'm not much of a socialite. Nothing against anyone, just over the years I've tried hanging out with different car clubs/car people, and I end up losing interest, and being older than most of you doesn't help maters. Funny I say that, when I was 18 and had my Chevelle SS I was the youngest club member. For reference, that was 1990

But having said that ,if someone needs help working on their car, I'm up for trying to help. I've done the basics to my cars over the years. Such as lowering 4 cars, various mounts, intakes, cat backs, brakes, and R&R engines and transmissions in a Corvette (65) and Chevelle SS (69) etc. etc.

Would also be up for a dyno day of course but I think I will have done it before others here are ready. I'd also possibly be up for a drive or show sometime if there were enough people (I know this isn't the season though)

 

So after months of saying no to Drift Office, I'm headed there tomorrow. Last weekend I did the Mustang Dyno and I'm just soooo curious to know the dynojet will say, that I'm hitting it a week later.

Oh and as a side note there was a stock GT500kr at the dyno last week that put down 501hp
Stock SRT8 Challenger is 386hp
Stock R/T Challenger is 358

Just in case you were wondering

 

tell bob hi for me

 

How much does dyno cost?

 

Too much for what it is, but I have a need to know @ drift office it's $85 for 3 pulls

When I did the Mustang Dyno @ Horsepower Ranch it was $60 because it was dyno day otherwise $85

That's why originally I was asking about a dyno day, to save some $$ but no one here seems to want to do it so I'm hitting it alone.
