so i went to Spring Fling in Panama City today. i waited 5 hours to get my car on the dyno out there. it was on a dyno jet and the results were nothing to be proud of. i don't know if i should be mad at my car or the guy that drove it up there. when he went to pull it up on the rollers he burnt the clutch (his only job was to drive the cars on the dyno...no clue how the hell he did this), smoke came out from under the car and the smell was in the air. they then strapped it down and started the 3 pulls and the clutch didn't have enough time to cool down. i could smell the clutch after every pull. i'm assuming it is part of the reason of my horrific numbers. here is the graph from the first and best pull.

all is fine now. the car was parked for about an hour and i left. on the way home did a few pulls and the clutch didn't slip at all.

cliff notes....5 hours of waiting in line+$40=depressing

 

maybe you should complain about the way they did it

 

wow that is horrible, sorry to hear and you should def. do some research on where to get your car dynoed/tuned etc.

 

there are no awd dynos close to where i live. this car show was about an hour away from my house. this was a trailored in dyno jet just for the car show.

 

dang that sucks man are u still in town i live in this gof for saken place. I had a few friends their Valhalla Racing and Driven2modify crew congrats on the numbers.

 

no i'm back in mary esther now. i've got some friends still down there though. they went to the races. i got a little flyer from one of the guys in Driven2modify....that was before my suck *** numbers

 

sorry to hear

 

damn dude for the mods, you got yourself a weak *** IX You should go to a shop instead.. cuz maybe that dyno is F** Up.. the graph isn't that much smooth afte all..

 

i was thinking about it a little more today and i think that it might have been a low reading dyno jet. don't most stock IX's run about 250awhp on most dyno jets? because the stock IX out there only got 230awhp. either way that would still only stick me at around 310awhp and 330awtq. it's still disappointing for my mods and after seeing an srt4 pull roughly 360whp

 

i have no idea where mary ester florida is, but if you come down to the Miami area there are a couple of AWD dynos down here, not only that i believe out in orlando, they have one also. id check it out. also just a side not dont go on those quaker state trailer dynos. their nothing but ****.

 

mary esther is basically fort walton beach.....bout an hour west of panama city. i've heard that there is an awd dyno somewhere kind of close in alabama, not exactly sure where. the closest one that i know if is CFT, but thats 6 hours away.

 

come down to miami, theres fyne tune, twilight and another one i heard of. they should know what to do and the right way

 

that would be a long drive just for a dyno lol.....

 

hell yeah that's a long way. next time i dyno will probably be at CFT. not really even a big fan of dynos though. there are too many variables between the different dynos and the calibration. i just want one number that i'm happy with

 

we should log your car and see what dataloglab says compared to the dyno jet......
