Dyno day in St Charles

[Jerry Clayton]

Anyone interested in a dyno day in St Charles,IL?

And if so ---When?????

Maybe, how many cars min-max? How many $ per car?

[Jerry Clayton]

OK----I don't have an answer as to how many cars, min/max numbers--the facility has a large service bay where some adjustments could be made while other cars were being dynoed---it takes quite a while to tie a car down properly so I'd assume that about all that could be changed while up would maybe be timing and that a carb tweeking might take a cooldown before spilling hi test on a hot motor

I also don't know if they can run the dyno on a Sunday but definitely on Saturdays

I'll find out more info and right now I was looking to see if maybe we could book 4 -6 cars for maybe 3 pulls each---what do you guys think????when we go over there to tune one of there cars it ususlly takes 5 -6 runs to dial in all the electronic computer/injector/maf stuff

Just you need your car ready for the first run and PLEASE have the gaso;ine that you drive/race it on---I have seen time after time that a car owner will change his gas brand/octane/spec gravity and it sure messes up the electronic stuff

We are going to tune a supercharged Mustang Cobra with a Whipple charger tomorrow night and I'll try to work out some specifics for a club day

OK---its a Mustang eddy current model MD1750---good up to 1750 hp and 225 MPH

It takes about 45 minutes to position /tie down carn and make a couple pulls
The shop is large enough to have room to move a car off the dyno to let cool down for carb/ignition/plug checks while another car is being run--For the club they need to realize around $100/hour---they normally open at 10am but said they could/would start as early as 8am if necessary to get everybody in( probably realistic 8 - 10 cars max ) A workable minimun of around 6 cars would get us this rate and if the cars were only run a couple pulls to get a number the per car rate could drop maybe 75 if we could cycle through at 45 minutes per car.

We just got home from tuning a 2003 Mustang Cobra 4.6L 4 valve that made 419 at the wheels at 6250 rpm.

We can also use his grill to cook brats,etc or maybe do Snake and Eggs somewhere earlier

Correction to the Mustang Cobra---it didn't have the Whipple---just a stock blower but with a bigger lower pulley---the Whipple was on one a few weeks ago that went a little over 500 at 6250
