ATL Dyno Day/meet had an awesome turn out. We had 9 people dyno + 1 full test-n-tune.

People who dynoed are as follows (hopefully they will post their exact dyno numbers ):
1. Neo (B18C1) ~160 whp
2. Jetydosa (B18C5) ~167 whp
3. Hurrell (B18C5) ~175 whp
4. Blankenship (B17A(?)) ~172 whp
5. Toda Civic (B16A2) ~151 whp
6. NAB20C5 (B20C5) 186.x whp 139 lb.ft
7. Pyromaster (B18C5) ~165 whp
8. Black R (B18C5) 185.x whp
9. Kengs (B16A2) ~143 whp
10. William (B18C5) 187.x (highest whp of the day )

Plus we had about 12-15 people from SC, TN, ATL just hanging out.

We also did lunch at Hooter's... mmm, hooter's.

Last but not least, 7 people duked it out at Andretti Speedlab. Ken Rocker took the trophy on this one.

Don't forget William gained about 5hp & 2ft/lbs torque switching to (used) NGK Iriways, lost 2 peak hp

Thanks to Sean for putting it all together

Thanks to Kenny (BlackR) for the free ticket @ Andretti, even though I got CLOBBERED by these young guns...even got red flagged

 

Nice numbers. Good to see blankenship put out some good numbers. Is he on this board now? I wish I could have came over there but with no liscence its a little hard. What were the lap times at Andretti, I used to go all the time during the summer and got fairly good.

 

Ryan,

Kenny was fastest, avg. lap time was 33.30, fast lap was 32.19 Eric (NAB20C5) had the next fastest lap @ 33.05, but his avg. times were inflated cause he got red-flagged

I was slowest, avg. lap time was 38.64(!), fast lap was 34.55 My times were inflated because:

1) I crashed into the retaining barrier and got stuck, on lap 1, 53.65 secs(!)
2) I got red-flagged too, on lap 9, 49.45 secs.

I was definitely the old man out there Still, I had a blast!

I got 151 on last run.. still sucks.
But i need JACK tuning ultra badly.. so i was kinda disapointed.
Oh well...i had fun anyway, glad to see no one got stranded...
So nice hanging out with you guys.
LATA

 

Ok, how hardcore are we?

lol

We have a dyno meet, then eat at h00ters (damn Eric, we didn't get the digits! Has Dr. Evil stolen our MOJO or what?), then dyno and hang out some more, then on to some drifting/ bump and go racing at Andretti Sped Lab, then eat again (George is a bottomless pit!), then on to some local street racing (hush, hush), and now I'm sitting here at the high-speed internet connection at the Pink Pony (just wanted to drop by and see how my ladies are doing... ). And what do I find? You guys already have a thread going! WTF? I'm surprised you don't have streaming video and a shitload of pics up!

My response:

.....as usual.

Seriously though, I must've gotten a fast kart this time.

Damn, William put out 187 whp with the jun 3's? Register and start posting man! We need your expertise!

Umm, let me give special thanks and shouts out to Jack (b18cxR), sgT, Lip, greg (vtec4gs), and Jeff (ImportReview). I was able to extract ~10whp out of my setup by tuning according to their instructions/ suggestions. (Actually I'd like to post a whole page of for these guys, but I know how some of you hate that.) Newbies, listen up! If you really want the answer to the questions you are posting, just go back and do a search and read everything these guys have ever posted. I went from ~175 whp at my last dyno session (with Jack's safe settings) all the way to 185.7whp/ 128.2tq! And with the stock catback in place!

Oh yes, we have to give a HUGE thanks to Sean (Cosworth) for organizing another KICK *** event!!! As always, his planning and dedication made this one happen. This is successful meet #2of 2 for Sean, and we can all look forward to many more! Sean!

And last, but not least: THANK YOU ARTHUR @ DYNOLAB!

This dyno place kicks *** over any other I've been to! The nicest, coolest guy owns this place and does it because it's his dream! Think about that!

Everyone in the southeast: visit this dyno place for all your tuning needs!

Wideband o2, graphed against the rpm's for easy tuning! And Arthur seriously hooked it up! I paid $125 for 1 hour of dyno time with wideband o2... I got closer to 2 hours, and nothing but the nicest ******* dyno guy/ shop owner I've ever met! Every single one of us got glossy photo quality printouts of our dyno's and car pics! He even gave us a bunch of free passes to Andretti Speed Lab!!! Un-*******-real!!! When was the last time your local dyno shop did that for you? And none of us had ever even been there before! So it's not like we had some friends at the shop who hooked it up. to you Arthur. I hope I can combine my dream and my career like you are.

Check it out: www.dynolab.net.

Our dyno plots and stuff should be up in a few days, so everybody check it out and you'll be able to see all the correct numbers!

Ok, I'm done. Time to pick out the girl I want for tonight... Well for 5 minutes...

THANK YOU ALL!

-the r0cker, who apologizes in advance for once again having the longest post in the thread...

Congrats to all of you. Nice numbers. Hurrell had asked me to come up, but I had to work. I saw him afterwards though, and he said y'all had a good time. Wish I could have made it.

Anyone planning on doing this agin anytime soon? I need to get my car tuned bad!!!

 

My follow up responses:

"<u>now I'm sitting here at the high-speed internet connection at the Pink Pony (just wanted to drop by and see how my ladies are doing... ).</u>"

Damn Kenny, you chilling with the ladies? Post some pics. I take it that you got in touch with Dan? Cuz, I remember GerogeY (what a name... j/k.) being underage.


"<u>Seriously though, I must've gotten a fast kart this time. </u>"

You damn right... I should've put some octane boosters in my kart.


"<u>Damn, William put out 187 whp with the jun 3's? Register and start posting man! We need your expertise!</u>"

Before everyone jump's at how low the numbers are for jun 3's... his car is completely untuned. He is just running off of yoshio programed ecu. His a:f setting have never been touched, his cam setting at 0 in, 0 ex and his vtec x-over never messed with. Should be an easy 200+ hp with one tuning session and much, much more with some time on the dyno. William, now REGISTER!


"<u>I went from ~175 whp at my last dyno session (with Jack's safe settings) all the way to 185.7whp/ 128.2tq! And with the stock catback in place! </u>"

It was great to see Ken step it up and decide to learn the process step-by-step. Being his first time tuning the car, 10hp with just a:f tuning was pretty damn good.


"<u>This dyno place kicks *** over any other I've been to! The nicest, coolest guy owns this place and does it because it's his dream! Think about that! </u>"

Amen to that. Arthur serious took him time to help us with the dyno and tuning session.

All the guys were great to meet, Maybe next time i'll have one of mine ready to dyno, Ken good numbers, i think there still more power in your cam gears though.
I had a great time.

 

Ricky - it was nice meeting you guys. Definitely let us know if you guys in ATL again. We'll put together another dyno day sometime next spring/summer.

The key to getting a fast one is finding the one with the least slack in the throttle cable. thats the only difference and can make a 1 or 2 second difference. Thats one trick i found out from racing there a lot.

 

HAHA Sean, nice pic of Kenny...didn't think you were going to post that pic...but yeah Arthur was hella koo, specially for hooking it up w/ the free tickets for the Karting...well I guess Kenny had a fast Kart, mine sure needed some new slickies...couldn't hang in the twisties for nothing...as far as the street racing goes....hmm...Ken..."this is my back"...haha j/k...well it's kool...that mustang and FD sure were surprised....oh yeah and WIlliams CW ITR is like my evil cousin...running Hytech and many many other similar goodies as me....oh well...soon to reach the elusive 200 WHP mark...Eric

 

I just wana say it was fun as hell hangin out with you guys! I had a blast. I was also just a tini bit late though in the mornin. I was having just a tab bit of trouble with directions. Everything turned out alright when i saw 2 black R's, a Black EG, and Pat sittin there in the middle of the road as i knew after then i was ont he right track.

Good seeing you Eric! Its been a while. Sorry i couldnt hang out later with you guys at Andrettis but funds werent seenin it. Plus i was very tired and had plans with my lady.

Also it was very fun to take the to and from lunch trip! Had a very exciting time keeping up with Trey and Tony. Next time i will be ready!

We gotta do that again soon with either another dyno day or just a big meet up. Can i get a final roll call for driver and car of the people who both did and didnt dyno as for my memory is a little bit off!


[Modified by Big Carbon, 2:36 PM 12/2/2001]

 

...yeah just don't make it another 2 yrs till i see ya again...well maybe the next time you see the R it will be totally tuned...YAY!!

 

Its cool E! You will see me again. I wana get some cam gears and a vafc! Then we can dyno tune. Not to forget to put my mounts in as well!

 

Oh yeah and I'm definitely goin back to that hooter's...w/ My now dynoed mojo and ken rocker b/c i'm guessing that my hearing and mojo were hindered by my collegues constant downshifting on the way to hooter's and my very loud exhaust and miss took what our beautiful waitress saying that her "brother had a 300Z...when I heard...my b/f... on me...DOH...i will get those digits hahaha....Eric

 

yea it was great to meet up with everyone again/ meet new people . lol i should have gone Karting too- when i got home i didn't do any cleaning until this morning anyways.
maybe next time we go to h00ters we can sit inside so we see more waitresses! oh well, it's all good.
later

jeff

 

What? Are you guys doggin me on the internet?!

That was just me telling Arthur about what the h00ters girl wanted...

Yeah Eric, we both need to go back now. Little friendly competition, y'know?

I'm dead serious. It's dinner time... Let's ride out in the classic white vs. black rivalry. h00tie h00 here we come! If I miss out on this one, screw it. Back to the Pink Pony for the....ah....um....atmosphere?

Big Carbon, was that you with the gsr swap and you said your vafc got stolen? on thieves! I'm the guy in the read shirt above that everybody is making fun of... lol

 

Nah... just a "Kodak" moment that was captured. Dang, maybe we should have a caption contest. j/k.
