DYNO DAY IN CONCORD, CA - SET FOR JULY 16TH

288 Sally Ride Drive - Concord, CA 94520. Very easy to get to from Highway 4. We're going to be meeting there at 9 AM!!! Look sharp!!

If you want to come later though, feel free too. 10-1030 is fine.


UPDATED DYNO DAY INFO 6/7/05:

We're set for the 16th of July! E-mail me at urbanhunter44@sbcglobal.net if you have any further questions!

The owner of the shop, KC, has graciously offered to award trophies at the dyno day, for highest dyno and best looking car. So bring your wax!

Also, wanted to let you guys know another detail:

The night before the dyno day, 7/15, Friday, I'm having a party at my house. YOU ARE ALL INVITED! There will be booze and good times. Maybe a cruise before we bust out the alcohol

This is also a plus for those of you that are coming from far away, as the day is going to start a little early (8-9ish, not suer yet). You're welcome to stay the night with me. There's plenty of room.

If you want to come party with me and my friends on Dyno Day eve, shoot me an email!


UPDATED DYNO DAY INFO 6/6/05:

I talked to K.C., he's the owner. I also spoke to Jason, he's a pretty nice guy and was working on bikes the whole time lol.

They have a nice setup, very professional. They also do performance work there as well. Had an '05 Mustang GT in there that they were doing something to. The dyno is a Mustang dyno as well.

For $55 each person can get three pulls and a quarter mile time with simulated load, it's pretty damn accurate. KC said he'd bring out his trailer and set up a BBQ and a tent and chairs for everyone as well.

It all in all sounds like a very fun day, and a good deal for $55. Their normal price is $85 I believe.

I'd be very interested in doing this sometime next month. Figure it'll take that long so that everyone can get time off work and what not.

Possible dates:

July 9th
July 16th - Most people want this, this is the tentative date.
July 23rd
July 30th

Those are all saturdays. If you have a special reason for not being able to make a saturday let me know.

I WILL be bringing lots of hot dogs and sodas and stuff, and after the dynoing we can have a cruise. I know a nice hour cruise route that's alot of fun, includes straightaways and twisties, and lots of people

We'd probably get started early in the morning (10ish maybe?), and start cruising in the late afternoon (4-5ish).

Let me know your date preferences!

Okay. I stopped by BRGRacing here in Concord and checked it out. It looks like a pretty professional place, with lots of room for cars to park and maybe set up a BBQ.

I sent an e-mail to Jason just a few minutes ago, here is the email in it's entirety:

Howdy! My name is Tony Garcia, and I stopped in awhile ago, doubt you remember me though.

I have a number of cars (mostly 3rd and 4th generation F-Bodies) that would like to get dynos, and I was wondering if there might be a group rate possible if I got all of them to come out? There would probably be at least 10 cars, probably alot more (thinking around 20 or so).

I think it would be an excellent opportunity for both you and the community, as you would be advertised on several prominent forums on the net to set up the dyno day, and good for us.. because we get our cars dynoed.

It would be great fun and I hope to hear back from you guys about this. Thanks alot!

- Tony.

There would be members of this forum, hopefully fbody.com, and hopefully ls1tech.com, as I'm members of both. If you would like to advertise elsewhere, feel free, and post back with how many would come.

So now what I need is a show of hands from this site, who would come?

Please try not to get too off topic, I'd like to keep this thread about the possibility of a dyno day.

 

I'm in.
Let us know a time/date/location and $ for however many pulls after you talk to the guy.

 

I am trying to hurry and find a new car so I hope it doesn't happen before I do.I want this bad and if he still has it when I am ready to buy,I think i'll pass on the ls1 and buy this beauty!http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...553463725&rd=1

 

We must have the same taste in cars Steve.
Between this and the TTA, you're going down my list, haha.
That one even has my rims, exactly where I got the idea for the look.
The 70-72's are my fav.
Only one's I would consider.
Good luck, probably wants a lot.

 

Guessing the GNX fell through. Damn!

I'm in for the dyno.

 

my friend is selling his 93 mustang GT vert for dirt cheap runs good but needs some cosmetic work(AKA-new top)

my mom might bring the vette if its on a day she can go

 

I like the grand national and all but it just looks like an old man car.I used to have a 79 t/a and it was cool and I like the 72's.I'm pretty sure I'll get the 4th gen though but that 72 is sexy!I have a guy that wants my stang for 1700 and I will be getting about 6,000 from insurance so I should make out with more than I was asking so...There are just too many sweet cars to choose from.

 

im in. but need a date and money cost so i can request it off from work plus saving up..

 

no problem guys, i didn't get a response from the email, so im going to run down there tommorow personally.

And that's a beautiful firebird

 

Cool, let us know.
I'd like to go sometime this month.

I knew that Trans Am would go for a lot more.
It's already over 13K.

 

I'll have about 20k to spend so I want to make it count.

 

You can get a lot of car for that kind of scratch.

I'm envious.

 

I can't decide between classic muscle or new muscle.I would love the have a new 4th gen but there's nothing like the rumble of old school.

 

I think it depends on your use for the car.
If you have a daily driver and this will be just weekend/road race car, get whatever.
I wouldn't go for classic if it will be out a lot.
New muscle is more practical.

 

get old school muscle and put in some new school muscle

example: 70 chevelle with a supercharged LQ9 and a T56

 

or i know.. get some beater 3rd gen and spend the other 19.5k on an ls2 swap ^_^

 

get a lifted silverado and sc that bitch

 

Went down and talked to them today, it's a mustang dyno, and it's a nice looking setup.

We CAN rent the dyno for the whole day, I'll post back when I get the pricing.

 

Well,just talked to the adjuster and she is giving me 5,000 and I get to keep the car so I'll part out the rest and make more than what I was asking to sell it pre accident.Hopefully I'll have a new ride by then,if not maybe I'll do one of the 4runners.

 

Just give in and get another Thirdgen Steve-O

 

OKAY GUYS!!!! GOT DYNO DAY INFO!! I'm posting this at the top of the thread as well.

I talked to K.C., he's the owner. I also spoke to Jason, he's a pretty nice guy and was working on bikes the whole time lol.

They have a nice setup, very professional. They also do performance work there as well. Had an '05 Mustang GT in there that they were doing something to. The dyno is a Mustang dyno as well.

I'd be very interested in doing this sometime next month. Figure it'll take that long so that everyone can get time off work and what not.

Possible dates:

July 9th
July 16th (I prefer this one)
July 23rd
July 30th

Those are all saturdays. If you have a special reason for not being able to make a saturday let me know.

I WILL be bringing lots of hot dogs and sodas and stuff, and after the dynoing we can have a cruise. I know a nice hour cruise route that's alot of fun, includes straightaways and twisties, and lots of people

We'd probably get started early in the morning (10ish maybe?), and start cruising in the late afternoon (4-5ish).

Let me know your date preferences!

 

Awesome, a simulated 1/4 time would be pretty cool.
Online calculators can only tell you so much.
Sooner the better!

 

I'm really leaning toward the 16th on this one, I think it would be just right.

Yeah the 1/4 time thing seems pretty neat. Granted it's only a simulation, but they usually aren't off by more than a tenth at most.

 

I'm guessing they are using rwhp and weight to calculate the 1/4 and I've always just estimated mine based on what I've got so far in the 1/4.
Hopefully around 250rwhp and 3600lbs.

 

I think what they do is set it up so that you actually 'run' the quarter mile. And the dyno sets a load against your wheels that is similar to a track, that way you get a very accurate 1/4 time. I think.

 

Can't wait.
What do y'all estimate you'll pull?
No clue on my torque numbers.

 

I'm hoping for 270 rwhp, 330 rwtq. Maybe I'll have another mod by then hehe

 

with the $5k and the $$$ for parting out the stang get 2(two) thirdgens with "HIS" and "HERS" plastes

right know any day would be good with me

I've seen the 1/4 mile done on the dyno kinda , cause if you don't have traction on the track you don't have traction on the dyno. you'll seen the cars rear sliding from side to side on the dyno

 

Awesome!

Just tell me where to be and when. I'm all over this. I am really curious about the RHP on the LO3 I have. Guessing 180 maybe? Call it wishful thinking.

Tony... U are da man. Lemme know what else needs to be brought and I will see if I can swing it.

 

Okay guys, it's tentatively set for the 16th of july. The dyno shop is here in Concord, when we know for sure what day, I'll send you all directions.

I'll let you know the time asap

yes, I AM the man.

 

Okay, after checking the threads on the other forums this dyno day was advertised on, and here, I'll speak to the owner tommorow and set this up for the 16th.

 

16th sounds good to me,if I don't have a new ride by then, maybe I'll just come and hang out.

 

That's perfectly fine, this is as much a get together as a dyno day!

 

i know which day im requesting off next!

 

Sweet

I'll definitely have the 'ROC up and going by 7/16.

I'll be there for sure

 

Great guys, so far I have 13 confirmations, I'm sure I'll have 20 by the end of the day.

 

I spoke to KC today, we're on for the 16th of July. REQUEST IT OFF BOYS!

 

Can I bring a '01 C5 Corvette too? +1 for Vin

**** I got an '89 IROC that wants to go too so +2 for Vin

What else should I bring besides myself?

We should post a list of who will bring what so we have lots of good stuff!

 

Yeah you can bring whatever cars/friends that you want! We have the dyno for the whole day.

There will be BBQ, so bring some hot dogs/hot links/bratwursten/hamburger or whatever. Chips and dip is cool too! Soda.. beer.. whatever!

If you can't afford anything, that's fine too.

I personally will be bringing a few boxes of chips (all different kinds.. get them for free) and some hot dogs. I think I'm also going to be the chef

 

Well Chef Tony (BAM!), I'll bring some fabulous Tri-Tip + rolls!

 

hahaha, sounds good!!

Also, wanted to let you guys know another detail:

The night before the dyno day, 7/15, Friday, I'm having a party at my house. YOU ARE ALL INVITED! There will be booze and good times. Maybe a cruise before we bust out the alcohol

This is also a plus for those of you that are coming from far away, as the day is going to start a little early (8-9ish, not suer yet). You're welcome to stay the night with me. There's plenty of room.
