Does anyone know of any dyno shops local to Bellevue? I wanted to get a baseline before I start bolting on additional mods. In addition, does anyone local have a dyno sheet for their car, stock or modified?

The odometer just clicked over to 1003 miles this morning. I just bought this car on Wednesday and finished the breakin Friday afternoon. I am glad the breakin was finished in time for the meet last Saturday.

BTW: Is anyone else getting a mere 16 miles to the gallon?

 

Hey Jerry,

no help on the dyno shops, but I bet Ray or Jim (from ProFlow) will know someone. Maybe we can set up a dyno day? I'd be interested...

I'm getting between 19 and 21 MPG, unless I do a major freeway trip (26 MPG) or a track day (11 MPG).

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.... Although if I was going to start adding performance parts than I think a baseline is a very good idea.

 

A dyno day is a pretty good idea. Is the number on Jim's website a good way to get a hold of him? I was going to order one of his throttle bodies anyways, this just gives me a second excuse to call...

Ted, what does your ultra sensitive butt-dyno have to say about Jim's throttle bodies? 2-4hp for a buck-fifty sounds pretty good.

 

Jerry,

no it's not me, it's Ben (SpaceNeedle) with the Golden Butt. All I can notice for sure is faster throttle response (and maybe a different sound).

The ones I've heard of are ECS Dyno Tuning in kirkland and FAME Automotive in redmond (4wd dyno). Never been to either though so can't comment on how they are.

 

Who is up for this?
