Annual Dyno certs - any interest in renting a dyno for a day

[mitchntx]

I just spoke with Daniel at Simple Quick Racing in Benbrook.

He is willing to rent us the dyno for $50/hr for as long as we need it.

3 cars in 2 hours is possible if we don't bench race too much. If each person paid $50 for a dyno cert, then we would have plenty of cash to pay the tab at the end of the day.

Realize, though some may need more dyno time than others in order to shuffle restrictor plates.

The only caveat is that he prefers to do this on a weekday, rather than a weekend. Daniel said a Saturday is possible, but will depend upon participation.

I thought since we have several southerners headed this direction for the banquet, this might be an oppurtune time to increase head count.

[GlennCMC70]

i will need to be done early as i have to show up at SpeedZone early for the banquet.

[Todd Covini]

Too much activity and mileage for one day for me.
(Plus...car won't be done in time.)

I get the impression you are more interested in go karts than getting the ranchero running again?! :lol:

I think everything is priority over getting the ranchero fixed. :P

Mitch,
I am going to be testing at Cresson on 12/28 and might try to get the car dyno'd on the way back through Benbrook. I will call and talk to Daniel to try and arrange a time?
Thanks,

[michaelmosty]

In case anyone was wondering, the shop is closed the week of Christmas. Will re-open after the new year.

Sorry ... just not enough interest for daniel to open the shop on a Saturday.

It looks like Steve, Glenn, Brayn and myself will try and get it done on Friday, the 11th.

[jeffburch]

Oh well.
Ill do something else, thx.

[GlennCMC70]

i'm out on the 11th. i'll do mine when i get the motor back in. i'm pulling it the day after the banquet.

[BryanL]

I'm out until I have a restrictor to try.

[GlennCMC70]

hey Brian, give me a call when you can. i need to ask you about tires and pads.

[jeffburch]

I called Speedtek in Haltom City.
"Saturday is our month end dyno day"
CRAP!
I called SimpleQuick "we're not open on Saturdays"

Oh well again.
Maybe next week.

I am supposed to go to RPM in Lewisville this Saturday. I just need to call and verify that I have an appointment.

[jeffburch]

I need a full hour. (chassis warm up :wink: )
If they have time in the afternoon lemme know please.
Lewisville Benbrook what's the diff?

[GlennCMC70]

James, let me know and i can meet you up there if you want.
same goes for anyone in the DFW area that wants a 2nd pair of eyes for the dyno cert.

things to look out for is the type of correction standard. read the 2nd page of the dyno sheet very well. tires to 30lbs. be sure pulls start low in the RPM range - big deal for 4th gens. make sure pulls show HP and TQ both dropping off past peak's. i think 5K is the area for most all platforms in CMC.
warm the car up well before making any pulls. note the tepms each pull is required to be done at. get the altitude of the dyno not just the town. the dyno at Cresson is 600ft higher than the one at SQR in Benbrook.

get two copies of the dyno, one for you and one for the AI/CMC director file. same goes for the dyno tech sheet.

[AllZWay]

I'll call on Wednesday to verify what is available.

[AllZWay]

The time is 10:00 on Saturday morning.

my plan is the meet James there at 10am. anyone is welcome to attend w/ or w/ out a car. if you bring a car, be sure and call the shop and let them know you will be joining us.

[michaelmosty]

I just talked to Keith at RPM to see if they have extra time available and he said to come on up. James, looks like I will be joining you on Sat. at 10:00. :)

[GlennCMC70]

sweet!

[AllZWay]

Cool...the more the merrier. :D

[GlennCMC70]

got there at 10 to see Jeff Burch finishing up. early bird and all that jazz.
Michaels car did well. he'll be faster this year...... i may have to use 3rd and 4th on him at TWS.
James' car did nice too. his dyno aint gonna make him faster, but that 21mm rear bar i delivered him will.

the guys over at RPM are pretty cool guys. many thanks to them for letting us crash the magazine photo shoot for a cam and header install.

i have the dyno sheets for James and Michaels, but somehow left w/ not getting one from Jeff (FYI Jeff). i know he printed one for me, i just didnt get it.

i was told that Houston had some good results as well.

I don't have a copy handy...but I think it was 228/289.

[Al Fernandez]

Come on James, you can go up at least 1/2mm on that restrictor plate...maybe even a full mm!

[AI#97]

Can someone turn on the heat outside...I have to dyno today!

Hitting the rollers at 4pm today...hope it starts!

Just out of curiosity and for completeness, what cam is in your two Cobra motored cars: actual Cobra spec or normal HO?

[michaelmosty]

Mine is a cobra cam. I got it from a guy off dfwstangs and the only markings on it were a date (10/21/94) and he said it came out of his 95 Cobra. For all I know my camshaft might be out of a stock 5.0 and not a Cobra but I figured I'd see what happens.
I tried calling various Ford houses for this specific cam and was told that Ford no longer made the camshaft and when they last sold it she was $567.

I put it in midway through last year as I was under the impression that I would pick up torque from the change but instead I lost power. During the off-season I did the rest of the Cobra parts and got to where I am now.
