Warrenton VA dyno day!

Updated 4/19/2009

NEW DATE SET for May 16th, 2009

Well, me jasongrace16 were talking about this last week, and I decided to go ahead and get a thread up for it to get the ball rolling.

Theres a guy who lives out near Vint Hill who has a dyno in his garage. He's well known in the Northern VA area for HP Tuners tuning F-body cars/Vettes, so he's a legit guy. For more information, visit his website at: www.needperformance.com

Anywho, Jason talked to him last week and he agreed to do a reduced price dyno session for us locals IF we can get at least 6 cars there. Once we get 6 cars, we can schedule a date/time to make it happen. Also, he might be moving his dyno from his garage to an actual facility in Warrenton, which will be located across the street from Burger King.

The address is 6540 Vint Hill Road Warrenton, VA 20187 in case any non-locals want in on this and are wondering how far from them it will be.

The price will be $50 for 3 pulls, which is a fantastic price. I highly encourage anyone in the Fauquier County (and surrounding counties) area to get in on this!

The sooner we get at least 6 cars on the list, the sooner we can do this.

The List:

1. WhiteSSBalt
2. jasongrace16
3. Dunkinuts
4. james.barnes14
5. occsdude
6. Bad05SS
7. refosterIV
8. occsdude's dad (SS/TC)
9. my buddy Phil (HHR SS)
10. sick ss/sc
11. greekss

It'll be sometime later this month or early next month. We need to get at least 6 people to finalize it though. After we get 6 people, Jason can go talk to the guy again and set a date/time.

I dunno man, probally once it warms up a little bit more. I'll probally head out there once i'm back on my feet, have started my new job, and have things a bit more squared away on the car. So likely....May-June i'll start heading out there.

I'll go ahead and put you on the list though.

bump!

Well ask him, and when you can get a yes or no let me know and i'll put you and him on the list.

Also, I think Jess is interested in buying your stock springs possibly.

Ok, I updated the list, and hung out with Chase today and washed cars, and he said he's definitely down. Also, our friend Phil will probally come with his HHR SS. Chase also supplied me with the guy's website, which is listed in the original post now.

So we have 6+ cars now, now we just gotta set a date/time

As for the brakes.....I know plenty of people who could help you. Did you get a full big brake kit or are you just putting on aftermarket rotors/pads? My roomate, who installed nearly every aftermarket part on my car, could likely do it for you. If you insist on having a shop do it, check out www.ptuning.com. They're a great shop.....the things that my roomate didn't install, I had PTuning install. They're the only people besides my best friends I trust to work on my car.

Yea I think I am going with the Baer brake kit w/ rotors, calipers and picking up some Hwk pds. I just don't know many people up here and I can def. do pads but never have replace rotors.

I suppose. I wouldn't really know to be honest b/c they are the only shop i've really ever been to for installs, and I swear by them. But I mean you get what you pay for, and they're definitely a trustworthy shop.

As have I. Oddly enough.....they did my brakes. I purchased my Powerslot rotors/Hawk HPS pads from them.......and it just so happened that the day I went to pick them up, I asked them if they were busy, and since they weren't, I just had them install them there on the spot.

Well I guess I'll get everything straight for hardware end of things, and give them a buzz and see what they say. Thank you so much for the info! What part of N Va. are you in? BTW if your buddy would be interested I would definitely pay with beer cash dinner whatever, I just didn't want anybody to have to drive out to Winch.

Ah word. Yeah we actually drove by Booth Feeds looking for you b/c we were gonna stop by, but we didn't see your car, so we just headed to Autozone and Wal-Mart instead. Had to pick up a few things from both places.

But yeah, talk to him and see when he would be ready to do it and let us know.

Also, call me Josh, lol.
