[mcoupemindy]

Want to find out what power your BMW makes? I'm organizing another dyno day for you to find out!

Where:

York Automotive
300 South Main Street
Mount Airy, MD 21771

When:

April 30, 2011
9am - ???

Details:

• $50.00 for most vehicles (unless your car is a "pain in the ass" like mine) - payment by cash (always preferred), check, or credit card;
• Minimum of 3 runs to get a reliable reading;
• Air-Fuel Ratio, Horsepower, and Torque measured;
• Printouts for bragging rights;
• DynoDynamics Dynometer (regarded as the most accurate in the industry);
• 10 spots available (but flexible if we have extras).

Please post here if you would like to attend - please post Year, Make, Model, Anticipated WHP/WTQ - we will laugh later. I'll keep it informal, so just let me know if your plans change. Also, please spread the word on other forums, etc.

NOTE: I'm the organizer of this event, not York Automotive. Please post any questions here.

Can I do this in my Miata? If so, do I get a discount for comic relief (when I estimate WHP and WTQ)?

No discount for comic relief, but definitely a-ok for a miata to attend! Let me know what slot you want and the info.

[Ethan Blank]

I'll take the 9AM slot if still available. Guessing 85whp and 80 wtq.

Hell, that's not far from me, and I have vacation that week. I'll sign up for 9:45 please.

[fmcfad01]

I want to come!

Sounds great. What's your tq / hp estimate (you may consult with Mark for guidance)? 2002 correct? 2:15 slot okay?

[clintjg]

I'm game. 12:45 slot should be good.

[mcoupemindy]

Only one spot left! Get it now!

[mcoupemindy]

Still can probably squeeze a few more people in - my spot might also be soon available.

Can you sign me up for the '89 325is? I can do any time slot because I live about a block away.

What kind of cars do you guys have? Modified? I'll need to talk to the shop owner to see what he thinks. If they are easy to dyno, we might just be able to squeeze you in.
