I hosted quite a few Dyno days back in the early 2000's. Perhaps things have changed, but back then Mustang Dynos had a reputation for being very inaccurate. They were fairly repeatable, but the data couldn't be compared to runs done on other dynos. Back then Dyno jets were the only way to go... but like I said, I don't follow this anymore and things may have changed.

I may cruise out there with the new Z, I do have a Halltech Ram air setup, so this might be a good way to see the improvements of that mod on a dyno...

Pencil me in, I'll lock in with in the week once I take a hard look at my schedule.
Thank You!

That’s a BEAUTY Joel, nice work!! Looking forward to meeting you finally.
If my car is ready in time I’ll be there for sure. One of my H&R coil overs broke...need to figure out what to replace them with.

Btw - that fuel additive I got from you is the TICKET

I called the Dyno Shop (mentioned above, World Motorsports in Torrance) today and they said, unless posted otherwise, anyone who braves the rain is welcome to tests. They plan to have one of the Technicians who operates the dyno on-site sometime after 9 AM.

The shop is at 190th and Van Ness, just off the 405. Exit the 405 at Western, south to 190th, and east to Van Ness.
