Possible Dyno Day?

Would anyone be interested in having a dyno day sometime?
Alvin from PCMforless said if there are enough people, he'd go anywhere. I didn't know how many people would be interested in having one in Central Indiana. We would also need to find a place to do it at, and check with Alvin on when he could be available. Just a thought. Let me know what you think.

I wouldn't mind a dyno tune for my car if we can get enough 93 guys.

That could be kinda hard, but I think they can tune other cars too can't they.

all you need is 5-7 guys with 86-93 GMs or 88-96 mustangs

I already have one of Alvin's tunes, + Springfield, IL is a long-ass haul for me.

Alvin thanks for clearing up what cars you can do.

So far we have two interested, Me and LTwonz

You can find some people for bryan and that will drop the cost for the dyno way way down.

Me and bryan did 12 cars last friday, I think the dyno time came down to around $60 a car for a hour.

Anyone up for a dyno day in Central Indiana?

what about somewhere in the chicago land area? my 396 lt1 needs a tune and im in, i dunno how possible it is for me to make the trip to central indiana

My Red 93Z-28
07-10-2004, 03:18 PM
I live about an hour away from Cincinnati, so Chicago is about 4-5 hours away for me.
I would kind of like to only go as far as Indy if at all possible

I really think we should try to find a programmer to come with us to speed inc to get a group dyno tune going on, I know I could bennifit from it...

My Red 93Z-28
07-28-2004, 04:21 PM
If you get enough people together, Alvin from PCMforless, said he will go anywhere. Between him and Brian, they can do all model GM cars.

BTW, where is Michigan City at?? I've never heard of it before.

Between us and the guys on speeddensity, how many people do we have so far. Also when is your buddy opening up his shop? Any weekend is good for me. I have school at night, mon-thurs. so I can't do it then, but weekends are always good. :D

I just got back on saturday from MROZ in merrillville. I had fuel problems but ION (Madwolf) is coming back in two weeks. See if he would be able to dyno tune the car. 8/21/04 is the date. Just stay away from a tuner named DOOMASTER that freaking idiot cost me a motor at horsepower factory. MROZ's owner Dan is one of the best guys I ever delt with. He has a Dynojet and the number is 1-219-942-6311 and tell him Erik with the 93 sent you. Trust me it is more than worth it very nice shop and owner. ION worked wonders with some of the cars there.

I'd put a vote in for Speed Inc. We've done many dyno days there and it's always worked out very well.

they are expensive, even with group discounted rates for tuning sessions

Ion, was either living in Dekalb or Bloomington maybe (last i heard anyway)

so what about the dyno day in Evansville that we were trying to set up for PCMforless to come to? Last I heard the shop has opened, any news on when we might be able to get in there and make some runs??

I live in evansville and have a 93Z that I would like to dyno tune. So count me in.

Guys,

Lets make this happen. I've done quite a bit of traveling for dyno days. They are always really fun for all of us.

If anyone wants to setup a tentative date please feel free. I'll make the trip for 1 car but I prorate the price by travel cost so the more the better and cheaper for you guys.

Also, theres a dyno tuning forum on our website. www.pcmforless.com

if your really interested you can post a topic there to gather interest from everyone, not just the f-body guys.

LilJayV10
10-10-2004, 04:14 AM
alvin, I'll see what I can do, I'll talk to several of my f body friends. The new tune you sent me for the 93 is great, can't wait for a dyno tune. Anytime is good for me as long as it's on a weekend. let me know.

Jason

Alvin@pcmforless.com
10-10-2004, 11:25 AM
sweet, yeah just try to round up some cars. IT doesn't have to be f-bodys just cars 93 and older and trucks 95 and older. Bryan can make the trip too if theres enough interest for him.

Ususally the travel cost is right at 300-400 with hotel, car, and plane tickets.

My Red 93Z-28
10-12-2004, 09:21 PM
I'm in for Evansville, if it is on a weekend. Special bonus, my g/f is going to school there! :D Anyway, it will get me motivated to get my car fixed.
Alvin, sorry I haven't posted on your website, I have been working more hours and going to school so I haven't had much spare time.

But I am definately for this!

I will take charge of this if no one objects. If you are intrested in a mid west dyno day at total perfomance in evansville give me a call, (812)760-3756. I will start gathering names, info about the cars and get with alvin. right now everyone is just talking about it and I would really like to see it happen. Give me a call if you are interested.

Well i'm bringing this post back, I really haven't heard from anyone which was suprising. I realize right now everyone is saving money for the holidays and are probably working on their project cars, so maybe now isn't going to be the best time. I have spoke with Alvin and him and I both would really like to see this happen. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks.

Hey

I might be interested...its a 4 1/2 hour trip for me, and only "mod" done to the car right now is a catback exhaust, but lemme know if you guys ever find a solid date for the dyno day that way i know whether to spend my money on other performance mods or not (usually takes me a lil bit to save up enough money for something)

I'm in. I need some numbers on the new setup. In central Indiana there is Kenny Brown, SOS speedworks, and another place in Bloomington. If that helps cool, if not, it was worth a shot.

I didn't think Kenny Brown did that. I called 'em a month or so ago and they referred me to Automotive Specialties. What's the place in Bloomington?

I'd be interested in one in Bloomington. I live about 20 minutes south of springfield. It just depends on if I've got my 383 project done in time. How much would a dyno tune cost?

Me and couple other guys got one setup in Bowling Green, KY on sept. 17 if you are interested. Alvin for pcmforless is doing the tuning. This is during the F-body gathering show at the corvett museum.

08-15-2005, 01:08 AM
What is the cost per person going to be, I might just have to do that with you guys. This is also if i get the miss in my car fixed, I would imagine its kind of hard to tune a car that isn't running right.
