I am new on the forum but want to put this idea out there for comment.
Last Saturday I went to ELD performance in Crofton and they had a chasis dyno set up. The owner of ELD wants to have this dyno there every two weeks and I believe the next time it will be set up is on 23 March.
I wanted to see if there was any interest in going out there as a group. If there is enough interest we might be able to get a good deal on some dyno runs. Last Saturday he was charging $100 for three runs which included a read out of fuel air mixtures. The guys who ran the dyno are very professional and know what they are doing.
I drive a 99 Contour SVT and there was no problem getting on the dyno and getting some readings.
The car is stock except for a KN air filter and the best pull was 161 HP at 6700 RPM and 146.4 ft lbs of torque at 3000 RPM.
Anyway let me know if there is interest and I will talk to the guys at ELD. laugh

JJ, do you ever pass through Beltsville? Just curious, because I've seen 2 Red SVT's in the last week, and before then, I hadn't seen 1 for almost 6 months!

Jessman,
I've been through Bellstville once or twice but can't recall when. Car should be easy to spot from behind, it has a GB sticker, I had the car in England for about a year.
