Alright guys, we are gonna be hosting Seattle's 1st Annual Dyno Challenge, the price for pulls are cheap and the prize money is great! This is pretty much open to anything, the rules are simply going to come down to your car having tabs. You guys are welcome to run whatever gas you want even with nitrous. So let us see what you guys are made of and who is going to claim title of highest hp in Seattle! Hope to see you there!! Rules at:

No tabs = no dyno pulls?! GAY!!! That means no dyno for me....

Good prices though.

 

In order to compete in the competition your car must have tabs and registration, we have this to try keep the playing field fair. However, it is not necessary to have tabs for just a dyno pull during the event. Please do take advantage of the price, as it will only be this low once a year.

 

So what you are saying is I could dyno, but not compete...?

 

Ill be there, thats for sure. The real trick will be seeing if I can get an IC installed before then, so I can take full advantage of the rest of my mods & see what NS looks like on a graph.

 

lol who wants to bet if theres any seriouse 13 b's out that they will take 6 cyl/rotory high hp and if they do that as well as most hp per liter, i mean hell its a 1.3 liter that can push 800 hp if you got the **** settup right and have a huge turbo, mazdatim knows wich one im talkin about, lol hopefully get my twin 35r ls2 finished before next year

 

Yes you can dyno your car in this event. However, unles your car has tabs and registration, we can't enter you in the competition. It is like having to compete with top fuel dragsters. I hope you understand why we put this rule up.

 

I think he's more interested in getting a very good priced dyno run than competing in a competion....at least I am. Plus Id LOVE to see some high hp cars from the NW.

 

Seeing the cars would be neat but I can almost bet that someone with a 1200hp supra will be taking home the trophy. Rotaries aren't just for straight line acceleration, we like the twisties as well.

 

I would definitely lose the ompetition... I was just making sure that I could still dyno if I want and everything is in running order... Hopefully I can get a tune, otherwise I might just have to come and watch.....

Someone get the Crispeed FD up here for this!

 

you tim, lets get this ****** twin 42 r 4 rotar **** goin so we can enter this ****. lol

 

GHEY!!! They're posting it everywhere, but they fail to mention you don't get to drive your own car. They'd be driving it for you. Good luck finding any enthusiast that'll allow that...

 

I was a mentor for my friend who was still in highschool last year. He has a 3000GT VR4 and he was doing some work on his car for his senior project. We had to go to south Tacoma to get his car Dynoed (only 4 wheel dyno in the area till this new shop), but my point is my friend drove his car up to the garage, pulled it in next to the dynos, then one of the employees came up and said to get out of the garage, and pointed to a yellow line just outside the door. They dont let the owners do their own pull. We then go to watch as the dude stalled the car 3x, then during the pull just nailed the rev limiter over and over till I guess he was satisfied or something. No way I would ever let somebody do a dynopull with my car.

Ha, especially if this is a high hp shoot out, I would like to see the guy with a 900hp vette or some old classis and have the shop do a run. Ha, I dont think so.

 

One week left guys, I hope to see some rotary representation. As far as owners driving their own car on the dyno, we haven't had any issue with this, infact most car enthusiast that have come in actually enjoy watching their car on the dyno.

However, in special circumstances, we allow the car owner to conduct their own pulls. If you have done pulls on the dyno before, then we may make an exception. First we would want to talk to you. The reason we conduct our own pulls is because we don't want someone do a pull to 120mph then slamming on the brakes causing the car to fly off the dyno and making a car sized hole in the wall.

I hope you do understand this, as most dyno facilities goes by this rule. This is for your safety and others in the event. See ya guys there!!

 

I've dyno'd every car I've owned at 4 different placed and been to countless dyno days, and i have never seen a shop that didn't let the owner drive unless it was their first ever hookup.

 

I go to Wongs right down the road and most owners of boosted vettes and even a boosted viper let the shop do the pulls. This guy knows his **** when it comes to pulls and with the kinda cheese I wouldlet them do it. like the other guy said it is pretty dangerous ****. just imagine your in 4th gear and at the top of your tach, that would be like 100+mph on the ground. thats some fast **** there. just go look up a few BAD dyno pulls on streetfire or utube and you will see what I am talking bout.

I used to drive 40 different cars a day, and to not kill one with a stick that has a racing clutch or major mods done would be a joke. hell I remember kill my first lambo 4 times befor I got it right.

 

I had a bad experience with a dyno operator too. 1st time I ever had my FD dyno'd. This was way before I met Ralph at GZ. I asked the guy driving my car, to bring it above 4,500 rpms before mashing the throttle, because I did'nt have the correct pills for the prespool. It would over boost on the transistion. I made it very clear that it needed to be above 4,500rpms. Whats the guy do? Mash the throttle from 3k rpms. The guy did one pull, and I told him to pull the car off. While, it was my fault the car was overboosting, he could have listend to instructions.

Now, I don't let anyone drive my car expect Ralph at GZ. I'd trust Rob at Pineapple too....but beyond that, not many others. CJ

 

I just dont think its fair to force a customer to not drive their own car, especially when they are an enthusiast for the vehicle and built it by hand. I dont know about you guys, but when I had my car, I had a hard time letting the guys at Les Schwab drive it in and out of their bay just to get new tires, let alone some numb-nut spinning my motor up in an attempt to achieve its maximum potential without knowing the little "quirks" it might have as mentioned above.

 

Driving a powerful vehicle on a dyno is not easy. There is no way that any dyno shop should be letting customers operate the vehicle. If you are going to dyno, or high performance tuning shop, chances are good that those employees have driven a lot more difficult-to-drive vehicles, more powerful vehicles, than the customer.

 

If it was an inertia dyno, then you can't just wait until 4.5 and mash the gas. You shouldn't have brought an improperly functioning car to the dyno. The operator was at fault, he should have told you about it before hand.

 

Or you just don't let some idiot drive your car. CJ

 

We had a great turn out. No rotary representation, but an rx7 with an ls1 though. Thanks a lot for the all you guys that came out and made this event successful. Below are links to the results and pics of the event.

Love the Audi S4!! That's my next car =) BTW that LS1 FC is a VERY nice car. Saw it at the Renton BBQ. Very impressed. Not too impressed by the HP numbers of the cars that came out. But it looks like you had a decent turnout

 

Was there something wrong with the LS1 7? I though those things made tons of HP?!? CJ
