Anyone in the NE want to get into a group dyno run at New England Dyno?

What would this involve? Where? When?

There is another Dodge fan that is getting a group run together for the Dodge group. I thought it would be interesting to get Chevy, Dodge, and Toyota trucks together and have a group Dynamometer run. It would be a lot more interesting to have Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, and possibly even Ford trucks all at the same place over just having Toyota trucks there.

We would get together on a set date and each person would have a couple of tries putting our trucks on a Dynamometer possibly with an exhaust gas analyzer too. The more people that go the cheaper it will be but the cost is probably going to be around $65. You can even switch exhaust systems or intake systems around to see what effect it has on engine power. I think it will be very interesting to at least watch.

You will also know exactly how much power and torque your truck makes (they are all different even among the same make) and you will get to see just how you stack up against the competition.

The cost will be $65 and it will be held on the 29th of March. There will be hotdogs, Hamburgers, and drinks too.

We need one of these in LA :cry:

Do you already have a place in mind?

It’s going to be held at,
Quest Racing
9 Lenora Street
Worcester, MA

The date it’s being held is the 29th of March. The dyno run will cost ~$65 and hotdogs, hamburgers, and drinks will be served. I will get the zip code tomorrow.

Hopefully I can get Vanity plates to bring his supercharged v6 and Tundra plumber to bring his 500+ horsepower modified v8 Tundra. I would be kind of cool to have a supercharged v6 stock v8, and supercharged v8 all being run on the same dyno on the same day. There will of course also be Dodge, Ford, and Chevy fans there too, which makes it even more interesting.

I will have more details tomorrow hopefully!

For everyone that is definitely going you have to sign up on the website provided below. The Dyno run is limited to 30 vehicles so if you don’t sign up and just show up you may not be able to put your vehicle on the dyno if the 30 slots fill up. The cost is again $65 and if 30 people go we figured that you will get a minimum of four runs with more if less than 30 people show/sign up. If you want exhaust gas analyzing it will cost an extra $10 and hamburgers, hotdogs, and drinks will be served as part of the price from there grill. This is going to be a fantastic even that you don’t want to miss. There will be Chevy, Dodge, Ford, and Toyota owners there.

I just signed up, so count me in. I might bring one of those Poweraid or Tornado things to get some hard results as if they actually work.

Great! I'm going to run some tests too comparing a stock exhaust with a Spintech muffler.

Money well spent. Will look forward to your results.

Thanks for the information on the tuning shop. I was looking hard for a place to get my Supra tuned.
I already e-mailed them. Do you know much about this shop? Has anyone you know used them, if so, were they happy.
This place is close by hopefully they have some experience with the TT.

I have had some work done there on an engine and was very happy with their service. The question about the TT Supra would be one I would ask them or just cruise around their website and see the many pictures of import dyno runs they had. Their whole facility is impressive and they would be more than happy to give you or anyone a free tour of it like they did with me two years ago.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but maybe someone could clear this up. If we are able to swap parts/mods at the dyno shop, aren't the results going to be off. My understanding is that the Toyota's computer has learning capabilities, and if you perform a modification, it takes a little time of driving around for the computer to adjust and set new parameters. If I just change something in the parking lot, the computer specs might not be adjusted correctly to just throw it on the dyno right away, which in turn will give a false result.

You know I think you might be right! Right now my Tundra is stock. I've purchased a Spintech muffler and wanted to try that out. Maybe if someone brings a stock Tundra than the people who have modified Tundra's would be able to use the stock Tundra as a benchmark for their results. I'll have to find out. What do you have in mind?

Might wanna ask NEDYNO......:confused:

I just wanted to see my results for the mods I've made, and also try both the Tornado and Poweraid thing. My local speedshop is lending them to me for the day to prove in the dyno test if they actually work or not. I've read numerous threads on these that say they work and they don't work, but nobody has posted any dyno numbers for them. Maybe I can help out with putting something up besides a guess. Numbers don't lie.

That's a good idea but I believe they don't work based on some dyno numbers that I've seen for other vehicles and on acceleration tests that Consumer reports did. So I guess you will be at least doing a baseline run with a stock motor?

The only engine mods I've made so far is a K&N FIPK, TRD Headers, and TRD exhaust. If you've been there before, can you post or PM me some directions from Billerica coming down 495. Are you going to run your stock truck on the dyno to get a baseline for others?

The nedyno site has pretty explicit directions....:cool:

No one else is interested in the dyno run? It only seems like a couple people are going and its only 16 days away.

The last I checked there were 8 confirmed and a few maybes. I'm going to try and get Tundraplumber to bring his SC Tundra.

Hay' This looks like a great thing, Could I go? I have a 6cyl that has way to much power for me. But I do love that 22.5 mpg. I realy would like to know how much POWER I am puting to the rear wheels. OverFueled

Don't think TundraPlumber's(Petros) truck will be back in time but I have signed up and Petros will come along for ride, food and look see.

I just wanted to bring this back to the top. Great to see more people are going. Might be interesting to know there will be other supercharged trucks there too that are not Toyota.

Looking forward to establishing a base-line before making any mods. Very interested to see the supercharged V6's results. Based on information posted on their website, it apprears you can have the data graphed in a few ways. It will show hp+torque over your choice of speed, rpm, or time. I would think hp+torque/rpm would be the most usefull information with rpms as a constant. Do you guys have any thoughts/exp. with this?

Their site does not give hours of operation. Any idea what time it starts? Thanks. Jeff

It starts @ 8:00 Am.

The Dyno is at 8:00 Saturday morning March 29th tomorrow. If anyone has any questions please call New England Dyno & Tuning Inc. There are 21 vehicle going and more people watching.
