Lol! If I can spark the flame sir.

1000HP driveway is my goal. If I can get that done before the 2012 cataclysm then my life will be complete.

I had a great time too. Was pleased to see my ride dyno'ed right in the expected range! Ummm...quick question, tho...did anyone else leave their A/C on during the dyno run? It didn't even occur to me to turn that off. I don't imagine it would have made much of a difference...maybe 1-2 hp?

What was interesting was how they dyno'ed the A6 cars...in order to keep closest to a 1:1 gear ratio, they used tap-shift and ran up to redline in third gear. Always wondered how they do that.

Very cool experience today...sincere thanks to wbt for setting it up and to American Racing Technologies (ART) in Buda for hosting us and testing our cars.

I'd like to add my thanks to WBT for setting this up and ART for providing a great bunch of guys to help us with our Dyno day. We really enjoyed spending the morning and afternoon with a great bunch of folks!!
It was nice to find out that my upgrade choices have provided a decent return.

Got up this morning and dropped the tune in, now I'll just have to wait for the next Dyno Day in San Antonio to see the results. Looking forward to the next one!!

Bummed out I couldn't go, was really interested in getting a stock dyno before installing the DT shorties and exhaust. Where you looking at doing this Chris? I might be able to do it next month.

Thanks WBT for putting this together! It was a pleasure to meet everyone. It was my first time ever at a dyno and it was a lot of fun for my sons also. Learned a lot about how these cars performed: power loss via drive train, actual dyno numbers and real life performance correlation, actual bolt-on power......A special thank to Brent for putting his bone stock LS3 for the benchmark. Now the decisions begin: more power first or suspension works.....

CBH · 05-16-2010, 10:37 AM

I had a great time guys !! I'm glad y'all goaded (sp ?) me into the dyno run. It was nice to verify 364 RWHP on my bone stock LS3. It was great listening to it too !!

I think Sam had the best power. Headers + CAI. Hot Rod magazine had dyno figures from several tuners in last month's issue. Wish I had brought it with me.

Congrats Brett !! That is a very nice driveway pic !! I can't wait to hear about the family drag race days in the future !!

Josh - really sorry about the trouble you had. You did miss out at lunch though...;^)

CBH · 05-16-2010, 10:38 AM

Oh yeah - Thank You Kyle for the short-term loan for my dyno run.

I'm so sorry guys that I committed but was a no-show. Had a family emergency and sucks that I missed out. Hope to be involved for sure next time around.
