^^^ Tooo much for the cheap asses in the Houston Group. (myself included)

This would be something we would have to organize ourselves and rent a dyno for the day / morning.

Key word is organize. We've tried it before and as organized as it ever ended up is the few people that paid got refunds in the end because it never happened.

Point I am trying to make is that if we rent a local dyno for the day then we can get the cost down for everyone. We could assign time slots - people that wanted to do more than one pull or datalog would pay more... people that just wanted to get a number would pay less.

Might not have barbecue but could get pizza delivery.

To gauge interest - who would be interested in an hour slot and who would be interested in a 30 minute slot? Who wants to hang around and just talk ****? (This would be free)

Times would include whatever time it takes to strap and unstrap your car and however many pulls you could get in.

Im off that last weekend in October... Got my new FC Project torn down to nothing so I wouldn't have a 7 to bring. Bet I will put some good numbers down with my powerstroke though lol. FC is getting stripped, wire tucked, caged, 8.8, 6 speed and something special under the hood. Should be road worthy by March hopefully. Anyone want a complete 13b from a S4? I have two.... Might make a cheap deal

Where do you want to do a Dyno Day at? I think that would be a great event. I'll start a thread about it on the three main forums and see what kind of interest we can get. I'm thinking it should be in November I'm completely booked until then (unless someone else wants to organize it).

Maybe a Thanksgiving cookout and Dyno Day.

Scott's right. On both accounts. People are cheap. AND We need to get firm commitments from more than 3 to 5 people, either that or piggy back on to someone elses dyno-day (as previously mentioned).
