WISVTOA Dyno Day - Michels Performance - July 9 - 8:00 AM

[BlueOvalBolt]

After many requests for a test and tune day at a dyno, we now have lined one up. It will be held at Michels Performance in Hubertus starting at 8 AM.

We will be doing 2 pulls with A/F ratios for $60.00. If you require additional dyno time for tuning, the charge will be an extra $15.00. Additional pulls are avaliable for $25.00.

For those people with SCT/Superchips tunes, Marv will be on hand with SCT tuning equipment and can adjust your SCT tune for free whether you bought the tune from him or not (thanks Marv!). He will also have SCT tunes available for sale as well.

To make this work, we will need at least 12 cars. Please sign up in this post if you are interested. Once we have an idea of who and how many, we will begin to schedule everyone.

Michels is at 3045 Beechwood Industrial Court in Hubertus which is roughly 1 block south and a block west of Hwy. 175 & Hubertus Road.

Hope to see you there!

I should make it

[Yellow Iron]

The new SCT EXCal 2's are here!!! I now have them in stock and more on the way. If you will need one for the dyno day, please let me know so I can reserve you one. This is the best handheld flasher on the market. Check it out at www.sctflash.com If you purchase one from C&M Automotive, I will reflash it as needed for the life of the vehicle FREE!! If you changes injectors, maf, etc, and need a reflash, just give me a call. Thanks!!!! :bna:

[sacstoy02gt]

might just have to be there!

[jk03cobra]

I'll be there.

[Dave99GT]

Marv:
I have a magnaflow catback, and K&N FIPK. No other performance mods yet.
Would it make sense for me to get the SCT EXCal 2?
How much would it cost? Would I see a signifcant bump in power?
Dave

[Yellow Iron]

SCT is claiming 15-20 RWHP with no other changes on a stock 4.6. Pullied ones will gain 60-70 hp along with the pulley swap.The EXCal 2 also allows you to lower the cooling fan on points, turn the traction control off, adjust for rear axle ratio's etc. Your car will never out grow it's ability to adjust. It works on a stock vehicle as well as a 700 hp full race setup. Cost is $400 to you, no shipping costs.

[Dave99GT]

Great price Marv!
And good deal on the dyno day, I am bummed I will miss it - I have to go to Michigan for my mother in-law's 70th b-day. :eek:

[monsterpost]

Sign me up.

[Sodaboy]

I'm there! I wanna see what a 2005 GT really puts to the ground.





Marv- Will that SCT tuner do anything for an '05?

EDIT: their site say's it will

[animal]

I should be there if I can get off my dead arse and get my wideband installed. (I want to compare it to the sniffer)

[sonicboom]

Count me in. :beer:

Mike

[aswatek]

Sign me up. I'd like to see if all the changes I have made to my old GT actually net any more power.

[Yellow Iron]

SCT is claiming 18 HP and 25 ft-lbs rear wheel for a 05 GT auto. I haven't flashed a 05 yet, so I can't verify that claim. But theres one way to find out. Let's put it on the dyno and find out!!!!! I just received my second order of X-2's, so let me know if you want to reserve one.:shft

[ac427cobra]

I plan on being able to make it. If possible I would like a 10:00 time slot because we have (not one but) two Graduation parties to go to that day! (Jeeze, they are as bad as weddings these days?!!? :rolleyes: )

Hoping Marv can get me boosted over the 400 RWHP barrier I've been up against!

:thumbs: :cool: :beer:

[JW's Silver Ragtop]

Good Posibility ... May come just to watch if OK

[monsterpost]

Can I get a 9:00 time slot?

[Digital Sledgehammer]

I'm in!!

[Yellow Iron]

As soon as we know who's all coming, We will start making a time schedule. So if you want a special time slot please post it. We've got Bruce at 10am and Dean at 9. We should be able to do 2-3 cars an hour. I want to allow a little extra time to do custom tuning if needed. Thanks!!! Marv Z:shft

[sonicboom]

10am to12pm will is fine. I will come early, so if you want to squeeze me in earlier that's ok. Also, Jim Brinks would like to get his car on the rollers, we should be there 9 or 10am.

Marv

I think your lucky if your able to do 2 cars an hour much less 3. I base this on the time I went there last fall. Granted there was no hurry to do the pulls but the 2 pulls I did took 45 min. At least I will have a baseline to compare to the new tune.

I'll call you about the SCT tuner.

[JM2005GT]

I would love to join you guys...any time slot before 12 noon would be great for me!

BTW Thanx for being so kind to me at PP's on Wed. night..I'm att PP's often on Wed. nights...great bunch of guys.

In case you guys don't know me I had the 2005 Redfire GT.

My car has some minor mods and I'm interested to see whats its doing for RWHP now.
Mods:
Steeda CAI
Diablo Predator Tune(I wish I had the SCT now :( )
Magnflow Axle backs
Tri-Axe Shifter
BMR Rear lower control arms
the rest is all cosmetic

[SVTBalke04]

Count me in.

P.S. Marv, I am stoked about how much the pulley and tune woke my car up, Since i can't help myself from punching it every 20 seconds, my tires won't be lasting much longer, rubber is on it's way.:thumbs:

[Fallguy]

I'm in and open to any time.

Kinda nervous about it, never did it and never seen it done. I might just have to have one of you guy's run it for me since there is not tuning to be done at this point.

Would a tune benefit me at this point with these mod's ?? I was going to wait until next year and do a tune and pulley. I'm just trying to get this car paid off fast so have been somewhat conserving the cash/mod money (although Karen Disagree's).
I would rather have Marv do some sub frame's first .

Do you think with my Magnaflow CB and K&N FIPK I'll be able to come close to 400 rwhp ???

What % of HP is lost from the flywheel to the rear wheel's on these car's ???

Fallguy, When I had just Borla Stingers and FIPK I put down 406.8 and 380tq to the ground.

[Fallguy]

Blake , Did I see you going through the Falls last nite about 7:30pm????

So what would that rwhp transfer to in fwhp ???

I was driving my Tahoe not the Stang , but I passed a Comp. orange with chrome wheels.

[driven to build]

I would like to go too. I have never done anything with the group but want to, just been to busy. The 9th I do have open. I never seen this done but am excited to watch and dyno. Just bought parts and I'm not sure if I should baseline first then add them or just put them on and go for the whole thing.

Anyone have the address???

Dan

[monsterpost]

Marv, can you datalog during the pull? I would like to see what the timing and A/F are doing.

Put the 4# pulley on Saturday; thanks Joel and a very special thanks to Animal ortherwise it wouldn't of happened.

[JM2005GT]

Sorry guys but I have to retract my last post...I won't be able to make it because of other prioities :(

Maybe after I get my blower on I'll pop over for some tuning.

[olfdog]

I talked to Marv today to reserve a tuner for sat. I will be there at noon or a little earlier and would like the first available spot. See ya there

Andy Olfe

[Yellow Iron]

Okay here is the preliminary schedule.

Obviously we can do more than one car a hour. So just come on down when ever you want and we'll fit you in on a first come/ first serve basis. I'd like to try to finish up by 4:00 or so
Make sure you're there at 12:00 as C&M Automotive will be providing lunch!!!:bna:

[monsterpost]

Still trying to get rid of the lefovers from the last cruise Marv:D

[sonicboom]

Sorry, I was just going through the posts and realized your question wasn't answered. Michels is at 3045 Beechwood Industrial Court in Hubertus which is roughly 1 block south and a block west of Hwy. 175 & Hubertus Road.

[Yellow Iron]

Just a note to clarify some things. This schedule is in no way designed to include or exclude anybody. It's just a way to show whats going to happen at certain times. I tryed to include everybody who requested a specific time. If you would like me to schedule a certain time, please let me know. Otherwise just come on down, hang out, have some lunch and we'll get your car on the dyno. We'll take cars as they come in and take them in order from there. Hope to see you there!!!! Marv Z :)

[olfdog]

What kind of dyno set-up does michels have, just curious, my car has been on two dynojets on three different occasions. So if its a dynojet it would make for a better comparison, Thank you

[Yellow Iron]

It's a Dyno Jet, I believe a 240 series.

[Fallguy]

I'm really looking forward to this . Since the AM's are assigned I will probably come after 11 or so .

[animal]

I'll be there to run on the dyno. Will we be able to get the computer dyno file on disk as well as a graph printout of the torque curves and a/f? I want to use it to compare with my what wideband setup reads. Time isn't all that important to me as long as it's before late afternoon.

[Yellow Iron]

I don't know about a disc, but you will get a print out with HP/TQE and A/F ratio

[ac427cobra]

Did somebody say FREE LUNCH?!?! :bna: Thanks Marv!!!

And they said there was no such thing as a free lunch! :wtf:

Looks like I'm going to be the low man on the horsepower totem pole!? :( You guys and your superchargers!!! :D

[Yellow Iron]

I can hang a blower on that baby for you. A Vortech with about 12psi should get you about 500-525 RWHP. Sounds good!!!! Wadda think???

[jerrymjr]

Ran back to back 12.5's on Friday. So, its not just a fluke for me.
However, I have no changes since my last tune 3 years ago.

Anyway, if I am more of an observer, what's a good time?
11:50 and leave at 12:40......
(never post when hungry??)

[chadr812291]

Well guys, looks like I'm going to sit this one out. I have to work Saturday til 5 p.m. I tried getting off, but no such luck with how busy we are. I hope to hear some crazy numbers from you all after it is all said and done!!! Have fun, and wish I could be there.

Chad

[thhodges]

Chris

I will try to make it up there some where after 1 PM.
Want to make a couple of pull on the TBird.
How late will they be open on Saturday???

[BlueOvalBolt]

Marv wants to finish up by 4 PM. I sure we will stay past then as long as we can if there are cars left to run.

[BlueOvalBolt]

Well, it was a kind of a long day due to some glitches here and there :bash: but in the end we ran 18 cars through.

All in all it was a very educational day as we all found out a little more about our vehicles. Top HP honors for the day go to Bill in his 10th Anniversary Cobra. He ran a disappointing (at least to him) 538 hp due to some fuel delivery issues. Once that gets sorted out, he should be at the 600 hp mark as he was expecting. Other than that, most everyone was between 400 and 450 hp a the rear wheels. Not bad!

Thanks to everyone who came out. We had a number of spectators who came just to watch and shoot the breeze which was great. There were a couple of new people show up as well, hope to see you at future events.

I want to especially thank everyone for their patience and understanding as we could not meet our appointment schedule that was set up. Our apologies to those few who could not wait and had to leave, we'll make sure you are taken care of the next time around. Also, thanks go to Marv for the technical assistance and advice he gave everyone, Crystal, his wife, who set up lunch and beverages for the event and to Brad Michels, owner of the garage, who worked very hard to keep things moving.

See you all next year!
