Thats not a bad price, when I went to SQR it was $50 for an hour, as many pulls as I could do in an hour and I could make tune adjustments inbetween...

Update: I just spoke with Clint at Dynosaur performance and a small change in plans have to be made. After this weekend he be be in Houston till the 25th which means we have to bring the dyno date back to this weekend (Saturday the 10th). Sorry for the change of plans.
Ok so if more than 10 cars show itll be 35 bucks for 2 pulls and add 10 if you want afr's.
So Saturday the 10th at 10am.
Thanks again

From a previous post looks like 10AM. I am pretty sure I will be going, cause I have to be over in that area saturday anyways. I plan on being up there are 10ish....

I might be able to make it if I can get in there pretty early. That looks to be about a 45 minute drive for me (with light traffic). I might be able to get my boss to let me come in an hour or 2 late. Wish I had the day off so I could see some of you guys on the dyno.

Anyone going to bring a video camera?

BlackGMC
01-08-2009, 11:46 AM
Scott, what time are you planning on getting there if you go? Like you I can only stay for a little bit, but I am thinking about getting there around 10ish. I will bring my camera, it does OK on vids...

You decide on a 2nd or 3rd gear pull?

fastrt
01-08-2009, 11:57 AM
what would be the differance on 2nd gear pull vs he 3rd gear pull?

BlackGMC
01-08-2009, 12:00 PM
what would be the differance on 2nd gear pull vs he 3rd gear pull?


From my understanding, if your tuning (spark, AFR, etc) on a dyno the difference is null, because HP/TQ will still change... If your wanting bragging rights (higher numbers) than 3rd gear with TC locked....

fastrt
01-08-2009, 12:04 PM
what are you going to do? and how much will the unlocked tc hurt?

00ChevyScott
01-08-2009, 12:04 PM
Would my truck be alright for a 3rd gear pull?

Steel 2 peice, 4.11s, 30.5" tires

The only thing I'm worried about is ujoints with 120,000 miles on em.

BlackGMC
01-08-2009, 12:08 PM

3rd w/ TC locked, that is what i tried to do last time, but I think I unlocked the verter....

Since it is steel I think you might be OK, but you will be turning some serious MPH.... Last time I was on the dyno, I had the same size tire and gear and I went up to 130ish :) Look at your tune and make sure you 3rd -> 4th WOT shift RPM is ALOT higher than 140ish...

It only takes me about 40 minutes to get up there, and you say I drive like a grandpa.

00ChevyScott
01-08-2009, 12:31 PM
I'm looking at my tune, but I don't think I'm looking in the right spot.

All I can find is Partial Throttle 3>4 under the Shift at VSS tab. It is saying 106 mph at 100% tps and the Shift at RPM says at 6000

Well it is looking like the cleaning patrol is not going to be able to make it on Saturday :)/:(... So i will probably make it, I will be up there at 10 but I can not stay that long, so if you there when i am I can lock it and command whatever gear you want...

I had fun. I was a lil under the weather today but still made it out and brought a few other cars w/me to dyno(G35,and G8). Glad to hang out with some fellow GM truck guys. Some nice trucks and some nice dyno numbers made it worth standing in the cold..haha I'm happy that I broke 400hp, time for heads and 90mm intake.

Your welcome, i figured pics of the dynos would be nice. I did get a video of almost each truck that ran. Quality is decent..., just let me know if you would like me to post it. I was the one wearing the black famous hat with the crazy red hair driving the white tahoe. Maybe next time we will be able to plan it out better and have more time to actually talk and meet everyone. Im thrilled to hear you all enjoyed it.

15 total vehicles dynoed in. Including the 2 civic si's, the g8, g35, 350z and a ford f150. I didnt get a count of trucks just off the forum.

The 2003 (i think) f150 was a joke. Made 162whp out of the mighty 4.6. Truck had k&n intake, throttle body spacer lmao, edge performance programmer set on level 3 and dumped exhaust. It did have 33's on it as well.

Back in the early 90's my ex wife beat a 6.22 car with her 6.59 Jeep in a heads up race on a Friday test and tune. Some people lost a lot of money on that race...that street Mustang was famous. The other lane got nervous 'cause she was a bracket racer every weekend I guess. The guy slept while she cut about 2 or 3 hundreths off of a perfect light; fairly common for her. Damn I miss that Jeep! :chug:

Denton's prep isn't as good as Kennedale's on a good day... and its an hour drive, pain in the ass to get to etc etc... just my opinion, been there many times with True 10.5 and other classes I've been a part of and never liked it as much...

Our crew went to Ennis 3 times last year and the track prep was shit! AWD trucks couldnt hook out there

Noah Burns
01-12-2009, 10:43 AM
Ennis hooks the baddest cars in the world... your trucks shouldn't have any issues... The less the vehicle shocks the tires, the less effective the track prep that they do is on the tire... For what most of you guys are doing the track prep isn't "that" important... its important, just not as much so as it is to a super stocker or a fuel car or something of that nature.

BlackGMC
01-12-2009, 11:36 AM
The reason i was asking about track prep at Denton was, becuase if i run up there I will be on my street tires, not my slicks... Launching on my street tires is kinda dependent on there being a little bit of track prep, otherwise I just flame the tires...
