B'Fest Dyno Day?

Post by Asylum »

So now that the dates are set and everyone can breathe again, is there still interest in a Dyno Day.

I'm guessing Thursday might be the most opportune.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? There MUST be a facility we can access in Chicago.

If we can get a cheap enough group rate I would probably make a pull or two. I'm not really interested in spending much more than $30 a pull though if I do 2, both with a wideband. That's pretty low-ball, but if we can get 10 cars interested like back in 2003, maybe it's possible...

I'm a maybe. Interested - price depending.

Chicago, ok, but what date is Bfest, cant find it in any thread... Shouldn't there be an official announcement thread pinned for 2010?

I might drop 30-40 for a pull. That is about the limit..

Whoever is planning this might check with places like FLP or Speed Inc.

They may not drop down to 30-40 for a "set"... Most of the Groups I've been to have been 75-90 for a set... sometimes 3 pulls. I know that fits your cost if that's what you meant, and didn't mean 30-40 total.

No I really meant I'd pay 30-40 to dyno my car tops, however many pulls that included.. !! LOL I understand there is a lot of setup time. I would rather drop $20 for a test and tune day at the drag strip. I don't know if my motor will be in a car and finished by BFest or not since it's fairly early in the summer and I have limited time and space to make progress. If I did a dyno I would want to do it when the car I know is buttoned up as much as possible, unless it was cheap (30-40)..

Then dont expect to dyno. I had issues in Charlotte and that's why mine never set foot on the dyno. I had better ways to spend 80 than prove that my car was down a bunch from lifter and timing chain issues. Also the nitrous wasn't working.

Group dyno visits will probably never be that cheap.

Great. Just saw the dates and I doubt I'll make it this year - same weekend as Camaro Nationals again.

However, if for some odd reason I do go to Bfest instead I would definitely be interested in a dyno session.

Yeah we talked about that on the phone... They f-ed up last year on the dates and that's why you were able to come.

Think of it this way... Would you rather hang out with a bunch of old rednecks with Camaro's? or would you rather hang out with a bunch of guys around your age with POS Beretta's? Also which one of your cars is more complete now... LOL I would say the Beretta since its painted. Poor ole Camaro is still rough around the edges.

And think of it this way... a car show with a couple dozen Berettas or over 1000 GMs and 500+ Camaros with a burnout contest, bikini contest and Camp NastyZ. Hell, I could even take the Beretta to GM Nationals and win a big ol' trophy.

Don't worry, I'll be hanging out with my POS Beretta buddies at Albany. But barring any big changes of plans, I won't be at Chicago.

So now I have to wait until August to embarrass you?

How about you go to the Mullet Nationals and send Tif with the Beretta. We like her better anyway! ROFL!
