Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches North Central where are dynos and tracks

It seems as I am always posting questions...so I will post another. Does anyone know of a facility to get the car dyno'd and either a 1/8 or 1/4 mile track that has a test and tune night (or day). Just intersted in getting some times and numbers.

The only chasis dyno I know of in the area is at S&S Performance. They charge $75 for two runs kinda spendy if you ask me. Its the same place I get my NOS from.

As far as the track goes the MAC (Minnesotas Autocross Club)holds thier events at Dakota County Tech. The closest 1/4 mile I know of is in Rock Falls Wisconson. I think they have a event coming up in September.

Maybe we should organize some sort of road trip for the Minnesota CEGer's.

S&S perfomance, where is that located? Is the NOS for the svt? How far away is Rock Falls? Dang, I'm just full of questions this morning.

Thanks(x3). What sort of times are you running with the NOS? Worhtwhile experience so far?

For the answer to that question we'll both have to wait till around the 10 of Sept. I haven't been to the track to run it yet.

So far the only bad thing is the tank runs out eventually. When the thing is full though and you stab at the fun button...big grins baby.

Nice pics in the repository....and I was thinking wow the background scenery could be from MN (and I guess it was). Did you paint or replace the grill.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. Yup that background sure doesn?t look like So Cal huh.

I did the paint myself. I need to come up with something more durable for the mesh part in the chin area though. Road rubbish tends to chip away at it, but from a distance it looks pretty good. I used Duracoat white wheel paint. It has a thicker powder coat like texture to it.

How long does a bottle typically last? I realize it probably depends on how hard your on it, but if you could give me a rough idea... did you paint your wheels or are they the white motorsports? (still full of questions)

The wheels are powdercoated white 18x8 Motorsports.

Do you have any pics of your tour up anywhere?
