Houston / Austin / San Antonio Dyno Day – Pics

Had a lot of cars out this Saturday for Dyno tuning / Heat exchanger installs and pulley installs.

Was a busy day. Had a couple SL600, a S65, CL600, CL55, SL55, a lot of E55, some C32 and a crossfire SRT6. Don't know exactly how many people were here - but there were alot. But had some good food and I think everyone had a good time.

Didn't really have time to get out and take alot of pictures but here are some of the ones I took.

I'm sure others will post up some pics and there results.
















It was good meeting everyone. And thanks to all of those that gave me a hand throughout the day.

Kurt , thank you for all the food , drinks and hospitality! Especially for sharing your own personel dyno and car hobby shop to us all.

I have to say that you have the best tuning dyno I have been on yet. I have been on damn near every dyno and seen a ton of dyno operators over the last 18 years in the 4th largest city in the US. None take care of their dynos like you do, pay 110% attention to each car and run! Calibrate density altitude for each run , keep new A/F sensors installed and can print, compare and email dynos as fast!! Using the very sensitive read out for A/F charts is also un-heard of but a must for detailed tuning. Smoothed A/F ratios are a JOKE!

ditto, It was great to meet everyone. The burgers were delicious and the smell and sounds were intoxicating. There's nothing like big horsepower at high rpms! Big thanks to Kurt, Jerry, Tony, Nzar (sp? sorry if I got it wrong), shardul, and everyone else whose name I forget.

Hello Boys, couldn't resist signing up when I heard about all the smack talk... It was great meeting all those I didn't know and seeing all those who I haven't seen in forever!!

Kurt - you busted your butt to prepare for this and it turned out great, the food was awesome and we all had a good time (even if my requested refreshments weren't available )

Looking forward to another event soon!

Yes
Kurt, thanks again for all your help and time (with both of my cars). I had a great time and it was good to meet some people I've known of for years...but never met.

I've never been anywhere that was willing to lend a hand quite like the guys who were at this event...almost like a family reunion between a bunch of gearheads. I'm looking forward to the next event!
