Nor Cal Dyno Day III-D

[NorCalRedfire]

Well, its been one day since we got together so its time to plan the next event.

A day of dyno followed by a late afternoon BBQ at a local park. Friends and family are welcome but it will be a BYO BBQ.

First thing - pick a date when you are available.

Thanks.

I am available in November as September is liable to be hot and muggy. I already know what my car dynos under those conditions.

Hey Jon

Did you get your plugs regaped, the end of september is good for me, it should be cooler then.

Larry.

Hi Larry,

Yup I regapped the plugs and now the car is not so smooth while cruising and at part throttle acceleration. WOT seems better now. Matter of fact, .035" might be too tight for these daily driving. The car is just to rough for me. I drive 80 miles per day.

As it turned out the plugs that I originally gapped at .040" have grown to .046 - .050" over the last 7500 miles. I think I may switch to irridiums because I really don't want to change plugs too often.

What plugs are you running?

Jon

What mods do you have on your car, have you changed pulleys?, you might need to use a colder plug if you have, im running Denso IT20 plugs in my truck and there gaped at .035, no problems so far.

Larry.

 

[Jon]

Yup, it looks like the Densos are the way to go, Dan has them.

I've got a 2.93 pulley, exhaust, and Amazon chip. The current plugs are TR6's, their cheap. I think the IT22 plugs are the one-step-colder plugs for my car.

voted the 21st. The 14th I'll be out of town at the Saleen show in Irvine. I'm hoping to have an X-pipe and cat back by then.

...are non-svt cars welcome?

[Nose in the air, stuffy voice on]
You have a non-SVT vehicle? Hmmph...Old beaters need not apply!

[Nose in conventional alignment, stuffy voice off]
Public event geared towards the '03, but public event nonetheless. Of course you are welcome !

The last two dyno days have been $75 for three pulls with A/F. Regular price is $100.

All are welcome as always.:beer:

Sure, but we don't know if a chevy will be able to move the dyno enough to get a reading. ;-)

I voted for the 7th but aany date will work for me except in November since I'll be in Vegas for SEMA. :-D

 

[LIGHTNING LARRY]

Hey Charlie, I don't want to be a party pooper. But I think the middle or end of October would be better.

What do the rest of you think?
