Colorado Viper owners: Dyno Day on 17-Sep-2005

[Steamroller]

Through a friend of a friend of a friend, I found out about a new dyno shop in Denver. I have been there a couple of times. The owners (Joe and Scott) were nice and very careful with the vehicles. All of their equipment is new. Here are a few pictures of the shop:

I thought it would be fun to have a dyno day there. The cost would be $35 per car. If everyone could chip in a few extra bucks, I could bring some hot dogs, hamburgers, drinks and all the other “side stuff” for lunch (the owners would provide a grill).

I propose we meet there at 9:00 AM on 17-Sep. Who is in?

 

[Don]

I'd be up for it. I've always wanted to be disappointed after dyno'ing the car

 

[SnakeInTheGulf]

I'll go for sure!!! Where do you whan to meet!

 

[goldfish]

Sounds great. I'm in.
It will be interesting to see the actual (stock) numbers of how much HP/TQ we get at this elevation. A couple of months ago or so at Bandimere the stock Gen II's were running around mid 13's.

Here is the list of attendees I have so far:

* Steamroller (me)
* Don
* MileHi Snake
* goldfish

In my original post above, I proposed meeting at the dyno shop at 9:00 AM. One thought is that we could meet before then for breakfast at 8:00 AM, and then show up at the dyno shop at 9:30 AM. Thoughts?

 

[Steamroller]

Who else is in? What are your thoughts on meeting for breakfast?

 

[Don]

Coming from the Springs, I'd likely pass on the breakfast and meet up with everyone at the Dyno Shop

I'll be picking up an '04 SRT Ram RC from Woodhouse this saturday (sold them my '01 snake about a month ago). I may be able to bring it out on my 4 day break. Speaking of Bandimere, my bone stock '01 did a best of 13.228 @ 109.3 with a 70 degree temperature. Not bad when this is reduced to sea level. Without taking into account the density altitude the NHRA conversion is about 1 second for Bandimeres elevation.

Has Bob D. or NO MERCY chimed in yet? I'd love (I'm sure we all would) to see NO MERCY's TT SRT spin the dyno.

 

[Steamroller]

Dave T... I have not heard from Bob D or NO MERCY yet. On a side note, did you see my post for the get-together this Sunday (7-Aug)? Here is the link to it:

It would be great if you could join us.

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

oops, I thought this was for august 17. anyway, I'll check if I can come out. I pick up my SRT Ram this weekend.

 

[NOMERCY]

I'll go. What's the max HP this dyno registers.

 

[Detlef]

NOMERCY, you'll probably break the dyno with your monster

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

I'm off for several days before and after the 17th so for now count me in. NO MERCY should go last so we can all get a turn before he puts his beast on and overheats the rollers

 

[Steamroller]

At the recent get-together we had (Sunday, 7-Aug), there was some additional interest in this dyno day. If you are interested in coming, please let me know by responding to this post. Thanks!

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

I'm interested as stated above. Where is the dyno shop and what time are things "going down"? Maybe we can organize a small caravan to the shop?

 

[Steamroller]

Dave T... The shop is near the intersection of Highway 285 and Wadsworth. I figured we could show up at the dyno shop at 9:00 AM. I am up for the caravan as you suggested... Did you have a meeting place in mind?

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

not really. Sounds like most of us will be scattered around the metro area so it wouldnt make sense to backtrack. I'll be down towards Martin Marietta (south of chatfield reservoir) so it sounds like a short drive for me.

 

[Steamroller]

Who else is in? We need at least eight cars that will get on the dyno. I think it will be fun!

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

I'm planning on attending.

 

[NHL2133]

Will they take a stock 1985 Honda Prelude? My question is the opposite of NO MERCY's, how low will the dyno register? I'd hate to put all of you guys to shame!

 

[Steamroller]

Here is the list of attendees I have so far:

* Steamroller (me)
* Don
* MileHi Snake
* goldfish
* Dave T

We need at least eight cars to run on the dyno. Who else is in? As a reminder, if you can chip in a few extra bucks, I will bring hamburgers, hot dogs, etcetera to cook at the shop.

Let's get some more people to join us!

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

steamroller, did you see my post in the "event" section about bandimere this wednesday? I'll have the SRT Ram there and then the dyno day saturday. The air will be nice and cool with temps in the 50s or possibly 60s, low humidity, and light wind.

 

[Steamroller]

Dave T... No, I did not see your post in the "event" section. I may have to show up!

All... I would appreciate you pm'ing me your cell phone number so I can contact you, if needed. Thanks!

 

[Don]

I can chip in on food or bring some as well. Trying to figure out how to fit a grill into the car might be tough though.

 

[Dave T (BADVENM)]

Steamroller, I'll send you a PM. If we dont get 8 cars is the event cancelled?

 

[Steamroller]

Don... Thanks for the offer regarding the food. I may take you up on it. Regarding the grill, the shop owners will be providing it.

Dave T... Thanks for sending me you cell phone number. If we do not get at least eight cars, we can probably still have the event, but it may cost more than $35 per person. I will look into it.

 

[Steamroller]

[Steamroller]

MileHi Snake... I would appreciate you PM'ing me your cell phone number and full name. Thanks!

 

[Steamroller]

Just a reminder that this event is tomorrow (17-Sep). I will be bringing hamburgers, chips, etcetera for everyone. Feel free to chip in a few bucks for the food.

See you there!
