any plans on a dyno day

Guys, I did make an update to this thread yesterday, but evidently it didn't "take".

So, here's the scoop. I did get a response back from LRR. They have offered up a few dates in April for us. BUT, there's a catch. They are no longer honoring the "special rate" they had been giving us, and would revert to their standard rates of $125/car, which includes 3 pulls (i.e. no $25/pull rate; if you're strapped to the dyno you pay $125 regardless).

I know this change will likely make this a non-starter for most folks, but if there is sufficient interest in using LRR specifically, I will continue to act as point of contact to get something put together. With that said, however, I want to reiterate my last post requesting recommendations for other good shops that might have a history of supporting dyno days.

Thanks!

Yeow.... Time to look for an alternative. Bye bye LLR...

I thought I heard somewhere that Turbo Time was getting a dyno?

Carolina Auto Masters still has a dyno. Seems like he charges alot less than LRR. Thats where I get all my tuning done. He's aces on GM products.
I believe the all day rate is 600$ or 16 cars which ever comes first.

Yep, CAM is a likely candidate - they've hosted us before and their pricing is relatively straight forward and reasonable.

Anybody have any experiences with Phantasm?

So would it be $37.50 per run or is it $37.50 per unique car?

The way I read it, it's $50/car, at least a couple pulls each, but potential for us, as a group, to work a pricing structure that would allow for something in the range of $25/pull if we wanted/needed and we had enough folks that wanted multiple pulls.

Jeff will charge $50 per car up to three pulls, if he has to unstrap the car, so you. can work on it it's 50 bucks, or counts as another car. I also think he figures to pull three cars per hour. Sooo get sixteen folks and divide it up. and you get a good deal.

Not since they put the hole in the floor. (and they've killed that dyno since.) I'm told they're getting a new one (dual 48" dynojet) -- a single 4' dynojet was in the Duff World Headquarters... I want to be there to see them get two of those in that hole! The only issue with Phantasm is the *cough* lack of parking.

I vote CAM. With a few more donations, we can generally cook up some lunch as well. The only issue I had was the location in Durham, but protection in numbers I guess....

"Numbers" as in more than half the club that lives in Durham :-)

I saw Jeff from CAM yesterday up at VIR. I asked him about a dyno day and he's up for it. I told him that Dustin should be calling him soon....

Dustin? You're up at bat sir...

What were you doing at VIR in the middle of the week?

Aaron Buckley · **Posted:** Thu Apr 04, 2013 11:04 am

Depending on when this actually goes down, I could be up for a pull or two . - AB

Thanks for seeding the discussion Rodney. I'll create another post with date options soon...

charity laps at VIR for the Victory Junction camp and rode up w/ the mustang guys. Pretty interesting watching 15+ mustangs head down the road as a group. Did get to meet Kyle Petty, seems like a easy going and down to earth guy based on the conversations I heard.
