If you guys see any changes that need to be made, please let me know.


Everyone needs to make a checklist before Steve Kan arrives. This is what he said in an earlier post.


"Here're some items to inspect/replace before the dyno. New plugs (less than 1k miiles), new fuel filter (less than 5k miles), inspect spark plug wires, oil change, full tank of whatever gas you normally run, inspect tires (no nails or anything that can fly out during the dyno), inspect coolant fluid (change if necessary), clean air filter, put all the mods in that you plan to run before coming to the dyno (I don't think there'll be enough time to install them on the same day)."

ATTN: Change of dyno plans


I have some good news and bad news about the dyno tuning.

Axis Racing is in the middle of moving their dyno and won’t be up and running when Steve Kan comes.

Bad News:The new Dyno Facility charges 85/hr instead of 50/hr which is still really cheap for what we’ll get.

Good News: I’ve secured a spot with http://www.tuxedoparkracing.com/ .

Here is what they will offer us:

1. Two mechanics.
2. We will have access to all of his facilities for the weekend.
3. Intercomp scales will be available for corner weights.
4. A Lift and tools will be available incase a problem were to arise.
5. Fabrication/Machine shop/Welding is available in case it’s needed.
6. Brand new Dynopack 3000 w/wideband and boost transducer.


Tuxedo Park Racing is located in the same building as Penthouse Club, free passes might be included.

Address is:

Tuxedo Park Racing
1401 Mississippi Ave
Bay #3
East St. Louis IL, 62201


This is 15 minutes from my home in case anyone is wondering.

Let me know if anyone has questions.

More Dyno Information:

The DYNAPACK dyno bolts to your rear axles so your wheels will need to be taken off when it's your turn. If you have locking lug nuts, please have your keys available.

Here is what it looks like.

It's more accurate and is a better tuning dyno than others.
