A few of my buddies from ASU and I are putting together a dyno day at Arizona Dyno Chip for April 14th. Cost will be $45 for 20 minutes on the dyno and it includes some delicious food grilled by the most skilled burger and hotdog chef's on the planet! If you're interested let me know and I'll get everything taken care of, even if you don't do any pulls, come down, hang out and grab some food!

Hope to see you there
Tony

 

2-1/2 weeks. I think I can do that. I owe my brother a dyno pull as well so mark me down as 2 people.

 

Kevin, good to hear it. We'd like to collect a down payment to make sure people don't bail, but don't worry about it. If you don't show I'll have to kick you in the nuts

 

dyno where at though? I might go if its not too far from me..

 

It's in Chandler at Chandler Blvd. and the I-10, where are you located?

 

im in east mesa, im also the one you saw at the pav that night.. the blue and white camaro

Oh hey Curtis! Yeah man, bring the car down, if you've never tuned it before it may or may not be an eye-opener for you. My buddy with a 2000 LS1 Z dyno'ed for the first time last year and saw that his WOT AFR was stuck up around 15:1! If not dynoing then definitely come hang out for the day.

Tony

 

hmmm i think i might try to make this, i dunno if you remember me, we raced years ago at firebird, the car had a v6 at the time and i've been iching for a dyno...its a different beast now hmmmm. Are Wildcats welcome lol

 

yea i have been on the dyno before, pushed 200 horse 300 torque to the wheels. would be curious to see what its at now, p.s. i wanna race you at firebird with you on the bottle :P

 

7plagues, I remember meeting you at Firebird a year or so ago. You have a red Firebird correct? You're definitely welcome to come up and dyno, I don't have any problems with the U except come game day

Curtis, sounds good, I'm always down to race.

 

sweet... maybe this friday, not sure though cuz i have tech my car there to practice on sat and then race day on sunday

 

haha cool, yea im the red firebird you smoked, hopefully i can make it, I'm gonna be in phx next weekend, and i usually dont like making lots of trips to phx in a week but a day wont hurt. what time does this shin-dig start at?

Brock

 

me too, got the word car will be done with the new alignment and ill be there as well. Ill have the money with me the next time i see you...

 

i've never been to one of these events, is it you show up and pick a time to dyno? what kind of dyno is it? and does it give a/f ratio too?

 

A few more details:

The dyno is a dynojet chassis dynamometer with capabilities for 2wd or 4wd. Basically you show up and put your name on the list and when your name comes up, we'll have you pull your car on (we'll help you line it up) and we'll strap it down. You get 20 minutes on the dyno to do as many pulls as you want or to change things if you want and you get to drive the car on the dyno. From this you get HP/TQ curves as well as Air/Fuel ratio. The printer isn't working right now, but, we'll e-mail you your run files and you download Dynojet's software and can view the runs using the same software that the dyno itself uses for free. We're going to start at 9:00, so try and be there on time.

www.azdynochip.com for directions

That should be it!
Tony

 

whats there software, maybe ill check out what they use? also i have not run the dyno myself so maybe someone can tell me what i should do first so i dont look dumb messin up

 

It's nothing to worry about. There is a guy that will tell you what to do while you do it. He literally stands next to you outside the car and he'll say "PUNCH IT" and "Okay, stop". You won't look stupid.

 

Yeah you'll get the basic rundown on how to drive on the Dyno before you go on, it's pretty simple and fun. The software can be downloaded at: http://www.dynojet.com/downloads/software.aspx

 

Tony count me out. I just sold my Formula. But I will try to go with my bro as I owe him a dyno. Sorry.

 

funny story, in the street racing section....i probably wont be able to make it, funds are now limited....

 

Tony, put me back in. The LT1 is a go.

 

K, Kevin and Curtis I have you as going. Brock, sorry to hear about the ticket man, sounds like BS

 

it truely is, i *might* be able to make it but plan on me not showing, another time unfortunately...

 

I might come out to check out the dyno sessions. I won't bring my pile but I am going to try to stop by.

I have been thinking about having this same place tune my SD but I don't know much about this company. Does anyone have feedback other than the dyno day about their chip burning and tuning abilities?

 

SD as in Super Duty or Speed Density? Keith is top notch when it comes to Ford products, and all aftermarket stuff. He can do GM, but he usually hands it over to Nic D who is pretty amazing as well. If you're talking Super Duty as in Diesel, then Keith isn't going to do it, there are just so many off the shelf chips that work amazingly with diesel that he doesn't touch them typically. Give him a call and ask, he may have some ideas or suggestions even if he's not willing to tune it himself. If you're talking Speed Density as in stock GM computer for TPI cars, bring it down and we'll talk.

Tony

 

Man I wish I could come down there.I need a tune like you wouldn't believe.

 

just a few more days left till Dyno Day

 

How long will this be going on, roughly? I have to work but if there is time I want to come.

 

hey tony i wont be able to show up until sometime after 2pm, Im doing a walk for ms with a few friends of mine.. please let me know if that is to late to show up, if it is then remove me from the list..

-curtis-

 

Curtis, I have you down man, it's kinda late to bail on it. 2pm should be fine.

 

k, im there at 2 pm or so... should be fun

 

hey tony i had to get a new distributor for my car so its in the chop.. im still going to show up but ill be in a mini van... still going to pay you aswell... just give my pull to someone else again ill be there around 2ish

 

Kevin, thanks for bringing the Trans Am man, hope your brother is happy with the baseline.

Curtis, thanks for coming down and offering to pay even though you didn't dyno, I was really impressed, a lot of guys I know wouldn't ever think of doing that, so thanks man, I really appreciate it.

As for me, got it a few pulls and compared the effects of a cutout and taking off the air cleaner, bottom line, open your cutout if you like power and like it loud. Take off the air cleaner as long as you're not scared of getting small children sucked into the engine.
