I hope it didn't fall apart due to a little bit of water.

Let's see some dyno curves!

I was there! Too bad only two cars showed up. It was just a real light rain and nothing bad like the day before. The guys at the shop were no doubt disappointed in all the no shows. I don't have a graph to show you guys yet as they are going to email it to me tomorrow. They couldn't print the info out yesterday. The dyno cell is amazing and you guys missed out.

Yeah that's too bad. A dyno day is a good idea, hell any excuse to drive our cars and get together with like minded good people is better than going to work any day. My motor ate a lifter last Sunday night. But here's my curve from my tune less than 2 weeks ago. I started disassembly right away and will start ordering parts tomorrow.

I think six cars were tested by the end of the day. The Mustang dyno numbers were good for comparison between cars tested the same day (and were likely a little optimistic, as Mustang dyno numbers report when compared to other brand dyno's). It was a good air day, with SAE corrections discounting the raw numbers recorded.

The wind tunnel feature is a very nice set up. The Technicians were patient. They reported OBD2 IAT numbers dropping from 90dF+ down to 60dF with ram ducting as the roll and wind speeds increased.

My 63 did not get tested, as it was too low to secure with the current tires and rear ride height. The factory exhaust was tight to the center cover between the rollers, too close to chain down. Maybe another day with a set of tall and skinny rear tires & rims to add clearance. Anyone have some H-rated 215/70/15's for loan?

Thanks to the hosts for the runs as well as the MAF repair. I made 2 runs, 558 WHP on both but was dealing with a cracked MAF which actually snapped in two on the last pull as well as tuning issues. She was running super rich through most of the pull and then leaning out quite dangerously on the top end. Probably relating to the MAF which was cracked. Need to get a tune and should be able to crack the 600WHP mark. Will upload some video soon.

Luckily there was a Chevy dealer nearby and the guys were nice enough to swap the MAF for me. Windtunnel system was amazing, whomever didnt make it missed out. They also have a huge shop there for anyone interested in performance upgrades.

Thanks to everyone who made it out, I was not there unfortunately but I really appreciate the people that attended. Our dyno is always available to you guys if you need to do some testing and we are more than happy to help you with any performance modifications that you may be interested in.

I just got my Stingray 3 days ago, so I could not attend! I would love to attend the next dyno day (or if you can give me the dyno day pricing), come out even earlier once the car is broken in. I am in the LA area and just want to get an initial baseline.
