I was thinking of finding a place that will put your car on the dyno just to see if after 22 years of running changes anything.
I live in central florida so anyone knows of a place to go let me know. I could even go on a short field trip if needed. I dont work on fridays.

I know of a dyno on the north side of Gainesville, but that's over an hour away from you I think. Rollins automotive, on HWY 441.

Unless you need a re-tune for some upgrades you may find it has lost power.Giver it a good tune-up(if needed) and drive it.

I did get an E-mail from rollins auto in gainsville. So for 69.99 you can put your car on the dyno for 3 pulls. I may be crazy but I may try it next week. Just so I can add another page to the file for my car. I think it would be nice to know what the HP is.

I paid $75 to dyno my car while it was stone stock. Turns out that's one of the best things I ever did because it gave me a baseline to compare against.

On more than one occasion a bunch of friends organized a dyno day with a shop 3 hours from here. Of course getting there was half the fun (ah to be young and stupid again).

The funniest thing was the good looking and good sounding fox body mustang that put down like 140rwhp. Dudes wife or girlfriend saw the graph and screamed "That's it?!?!?" as she stomped out of the shop. Methinks he paid more attention to the car than her, and made LESS power than stock. That was priceless, almost as priceless as watching the same guy run it with the parking brake on the first time.
