I have a meet in SD this weekend but I'm mostly open. Lets do this soon. I assume a Saturday is best for everyone?

Lol. I love people who can amuse themselves.

Vic, is your 997 the same story as your M6 when it comes to finding a dyno shop?

No, the TT is AWD and the M6 is RWD. Plus the TT is a tip which makes it even harder (for reasons I dont know).

Supposedly there is a traction control issue on the tip that nobody has been able to disable that needs to be done when dyno'ing.

I know its possible but I have heard of a place in SoCal.

If any vendors are interested in hosting or if anyone wants to suggest shops, I'll call and set it up.

DC Performance is a sponsor here and they are located in LA just off the 10 freeway at Robertson. They are a big Viper shop but I believe they are also a Kleeman dealer. I'd be in for doing it there as I have been wanting to get my car dynoed for a while now.

Lol. I finished with mine last night. It was Fing depressing. The teacher told us that the average on his midterms before the curve is a 35%. We were just sitting in our seats cussing. It was one of those situations where you could either laugh or cry. We did both. Good luck bro!!

jangy, my mustang md250 dyno has been moved over to palm springs, this machine is bad *** because you can do full quarter mile runs, it has a built in xmas tree and is accurate within 1 tenth of second. the SAE numbers are about 2.5% higher then the dj i use. I have access to a dynojet 248c locally here as well. let me know if this helps.

I live in La Quinta which is about 30 minutes from Palm Springs! Count me in.
Where is the shop - what street?

Regards & looking forward to seeing all participants!
