I just got off the phone with ecs performance and they are willing to do a dyno day depending on how many peoples would like to attend. Is this something you guys would be willing to do? If it is make a list of names and ill look into it further for a date and pricing!

Good luck getting them to do it for less than $1000. They are absolutely willing to do a dyno day and were the first on my list until they wanted to bend me over and gang rape me with that rediculous price.

Any luck with ECS Oscar?

Don't let me discourage you btw. I was just annoyed with them because we held our last dyno day there and they jacked the **** out of their rates this year.

Well i talked to ECS today and they told me for 15ppl limit from 10-4pm it would be $900. Its a little better than 1000 but its still pretty expensive. If you guys want me to pursue this let me know and i can call them back tomorrow to set a time up.

$900 is at least better than the $1000 they offered me but it is still pretty high for a dyno day. At the same time, if you do the math it's really not at all a rediculous of a price if you compare it to individual dyno time.

If we brought a total of 10 cars, that would be $90/car. If you were to schedule an individual block of dyno time MOST places will generally charge $100 for 3 pulls (yes kyle I know the shop you go to is cheaper ). Now again, $90/car isn't exactaly a great group dyno day rate, but it is still at least 10% cheaper than what most dyno shops in the area would charge for individual dyno time.

I might still be willing to do it just for the hell of it. How does everyone else feel?

Well the fact that this IS a group.dyno makes this a real shitty rate. I'm not going to super charge until May so unless we get a good rate
for the dyno I'm out

No you're right, it definitely is on the steep side. I've personally never paid over $70 for a dyno day but unfortunately for me I've been kind of looking to get on the dyno with my new setup for a few months now so I'd really be spending the money one way or another. You also need to factor in the fact that the rate most definitely isn't going to change by the spring time(assuming that was what you were getting at), so you really should consider getting a solid base dyno number to figure your gains off of to be honest with you.

So again it's still going to cost you $100 anywhere else you go for dyno time, so why not spend $90 and hang out with everyone as part of a dyno day? I think mine and kyle's company alone is worth the extra cost of the dyno day.
