Dyno day at SR motorcars in Gardena 3/26

Hey guys. My friend got together a dyno day at SR motorcars in gardena under their new ownership. SR is responsible for dynoing/tuning cars belonging to the formula d series, AEM, papadakis racing, etc.


Dyno day will be on 3/26 at:

115 East Gardena Boulevard
Gardena, CA 90248
(310) 516-1003

Price will be 3 pulls for $60. The dyno is in-ground so you can be as low as you want lol.

Its first come first serve but it'll be going pretty much all day so come drop by if you want to see what you are putting down.

Heres my car getting tuned at their shop.

did only one whack run cuz i'm running lean. i need to invest in the HKS PFC FCON pressure sensor to use the whole unit. that way, i can bump up the secondaries duty cycle just a tad bit more like vkjrocker. *sigh*

cliff notes:
200.68 HP with 181.92 ft/lbs. of torque @ whatever RPM.
