Who will dyno mar car?

That is club,

Before I install the SC pulley (it finally arrived), I would like to take some dynos. Also after installing the pulley. I'm not going into the race of getting more and more hp's, i just want to know how all of this works, and, oh yeah, have fun!

Personally, I wouldn't spend the money on dynoing unless you're serious about trying to squeeze every once of power out of the car. Just let the "set of the pants" dyno (aka butt dyno) tell you what it's doing. You're talking about a considerable amount of time and money spent to do what you're talking about.

My guess is you will go from 165 to 185 . My 15% woke the car up but needs a header and full exhaust so so bad.

Automotion can Dyno for you at about 50 bucks for 3 pulls. Its on Broadway. I have been meaning to get some time in as well.

My experience with automotion was bad. It's a Mustang Dyno, so if your Mini is lowered like mine, you will be unable to use it.

I heard there is a dyna pak in Lex, but not sure where. I'll get the info soon.

Oh really?
Is it that expensive? Will it take me that much time?
Im not really concerned about time, since I have a lot of time free on weekends .... But you may be right, sf it is that expensive, I will use my personal incorporated dyno (butt)

It is what i've heard, but this is the part i would like to learn. from what i've read in the forum, this hp is in the top revolution range, right? I'd like to take a look to it from the lower end, and see what the automatic tranny does.

The cabrio is not lowered, and it seems 50 bucks is not tha bad, i guess...

Maybe we can go together and get a group price?
