I agree with Goonz. Get a tune!!

BTW!! The CCSU Car Show will have a dyno. We just got confirmed for a portable dyno that will hold about 600 horsepower. It will provide for a great piece of entertainment. I'd love to see CEG out there representing against with all those mustang and focus guys.

how much is it going to cost?
 
We're not gonna charge. Right now we're trying to work out a system to get some cool cars on. We're thinking right now that we're probly gonna do 2-3 club cars and then 5-6 randomly or previously chosen cars that attend. Obviously I'm pushing for a contour. I'd love to see Tony on the dyno (tuned preferably:laugh: ) so people can see the damage of a 3 liter with bolt ons. It's a 2 wheel dyno and nothing over 400hp will register so we're limited. But I think thats better cause we don't have a bunch of WRX's and Evo's on the dyno all day, plus we won't have to see every 600+ hp mustang or supra on either. This is a chance for the grassroots/work-in-progress/non-shop-built cars to shine.

can i get my hearse dyno'd?

hehe
always wanted to know just how much of the 375Hp/525Ft-lb are left in the old girl.
 
If you bring it I will definitely push for it to get dyno'd, and I'm sure I could convince my club to agree. That would be sweet. I want to see some unique cars on the dyno. I don't wanna see a bunch of Hondas and Acuras cuz if I really wanna see that I can go to Google or youtube and watch tons of videos with them.
