We had a great time today, and had a great turnout.......Ron at ProAutoTech is knows our cars well and took great care of us.......DIYnoob and Rodney(01NBVERT) had jaw dropping 600 hp pulls........the rest of us did really well, except for a couple that had disappointments. Michelle and I were very happy with our pulls.........The new software wont let me mkae a gallery but as soon as I can I will post the pics I took........

Dyno day was awesome But very hot temp inside the shop. The dyno cumputer when my car was on the dyno registered the air temp at 101 degrees. Ron did a great job with the entire event he even provided food and drinks for everyone
I was a little disappointed with my numbers I made 600rwhp around 5400 rpms and 600 rwtq around 4500 rpms. My A/F ratio was way fat around 8 the car will make alot more power when Ron retunes the car which should be in 2 weeks at the next FL Corvette Challenge.
Thanks to Ken for getting this a setup you did a great job

Thanks Ron for putting on a great event. Protauto Tech is the best.

And thanks you Ken for getting us all together.

The only problem with finding out how much HP your putting down, is that it makes me realize how much more I want.

As it stands I'm happy with 326 RWHP / 306 RWTQ @ 5600 RPM...........But I'm sure I'll be looking for more in the future…. This could be habit forming....

Yes Shawn your running fat on the A/F ratio there is some more HP in yours if you have Ron tune it. Anywhere from 12 - 13 on the A/F is good with the few bolt ons you have

I'm a little late to this thread, but I have to say the dyno day was great. Since it's in my home town I'll probably show up for the second one, assuming I can get a few extra mods done before that date rolls around. Thanks to My 95 for setting this up and to Ron and the rest of the Pro Auto Tech gang for making it an enjoyable event!



PS Rodney, nice meeting you!
