Well you've got atleast 3 months I'm guessing.

This is the notice to everyone doing **** to their cars this winter. Expect to have dyno day in early MAY. I don't want to hear any bitching about "I didn't get my **** installed." Go nom on some waaaahcrackers

Damn, 3 months is too soon, I'll never have enough time to get it done. Seriously,when it comes in, I'm going to look in to the cost of installation and fw resurfacing. I gotta get it done. Last spring it was slipping a little in thrid gear on the dyno. Since the last dyno, I switched to a catless dp, zzp ic, and k&n sri. Clutch is slipping quite a bit in third gear at WOT now. I may look into upgrading my k04 for my next mod.

3 months at the earliest. should be plenty of time to order, ship, and have anything installed. Unless your $$$ is low and you are waiting to buy the stuff.

hunter19707

I have the clutch, it will be here monday. Just need to look into getting it installed and how much that will set me back. Wish I knew how to do it myself, but I would still need to resurface fw.

Speaking of the dyno day, some dude from DynoTune Motorsports in Cbus got hold of me and wants to know if we want a dyno day there. I will copy his message over and let you ponder.


Spring Meet.
Was wondering if you guys would be interested in having a dyno day as part of your meet? It would be for INTENSE Racing who is a sponsor of this forum.

For dyno days I do HP, TQ, Boost, A/F for $50.00. Below is a an example of a graph I give to the customer.



2006 Cobalt with a TVS. E85 Tune vs 93 Octane Tune.




Let me know if you are interested.

Ion

Take the flywheel to Napa. They do it for cheap I do believe. At least the one in NL does.

U guys can go wherever you like. I am sticking with BigShot. I like the dyno, the prices are right, and it's good to have as much consistency as possible when comparing results.
Comparing results from 2 different dynos is pointless.

hunter19707

Agreed. BTW, how long would it take to do a clutch swap if I did it myself? Any special tools needed?

Well its an 8 hour job at my dealership. I would thibk with the proper tools u could do it in a day. Dont know if there are any special tools tho. Im doin mine this summer probably.

I'll put in a good word for Dyno Tune Motorsports. Had my GTP dynoed there in the spring of 09 at the Ohio Club Grand Prix dyno day. Dyno Brian knows what's up. You Columbus guys should check it out, it's a bit of a haul for the NEO guys though.

Theres a Mustang Dyno thats local for me & I also turned him onto being a Trifecta Dealer there.

I like Big Shot because I put down better #'s, mustang dynos break hearts lol.

big shot seemed like the place to go for a good dyno run when we went last fall.

You do need the clutch alignment tool which may come included in certain kits. If not, it's a GM only part. Vacuum bleeder also makes life easier.
Clutch installs on these cars are hell. IMO its worth the $ to save yourself the aggravation and busted knuckles.

So has anyone done anything fun to their car over the winter?

TommyP

iTrader: (2)

Other than a PRS hardcore bar, nope. I'm saving up money till the spring, when I actually start driving the car again.

Ion

Works for me. I don't need to dyno, but thought I'd ask since he was so nice and all.

wambo92

Im debating on whether or not I should buy the zzp intercooler kit...$900...

Bika

iTrader: (3)

From what I hear, not worth $900

TommyP

iTrader: (2)

It says it's only $800 on their site, or were you planning on getting the MAF relocate and BOV as well? You could always just get the intercooler itself for now and get the charge piping later. ZZP is what I'm gonna get when it comes time for me to get an intercooler later.
