It’s time again for MHCC Dyno Day.
• Come dyno your car to see how much those winter adjustments helped out,
• Spend the day hanging around with other gearheads and talking cobras,
• Enjoy some of the best BBQ and green chile you’ve ever eaten (and its FREE),
• And it’s a pretty darn good car show too; come see the 900 hp Ford GT,
• Get out and enjoy your car for an early Spring event.
The 6th Annual MHCC Dyno Day will be held again this year at club member/club sponsor Lou Rivera’s shop near Highlands Ranch. You do not have to test your car or even have a cobra to participate. Bring friends and family and have a blast. Come any time/leave any time. We do need your reservations, however, if you and your friends plan to have lunch so we are sure to have plenty of food!
Here are the details:
Lou utilizes a Dyno Jet (Model 224X) dyno which is capable of testing cars up to 1,000 hp. This model DynoJet enables a very rapid evaluation of your car's horsepower and torque output while at the same time providing a real-time analysis of your exhaust for fuel/oxygen ratios. Gone are the days of extended, high rev operations to get a thorough engine evaluation. In as much time as it takes for your car to reach your specified maximum RPM limit (usually 15 seconds or less), the DynoJet will provide horsepower, torque and gas emission analyses. Extended operations at or near maximum RPMs are a thing of the past.
• You will receive up to 3 pulls for a special event price of $65. Although you may choose how you want your car tested, Lou suggests the following pulls after your car is thoroughly warmed up: Pull #1. A 4 (or 5) speed pull where your car is run through all of its gears from a dead stop. This will provide you an analysis of your car's normal everyday operating performance. Pull #2. A power pull where you car is run up to about 2,500 RPMs in its highest gear then the dyno run is triggered and the engine is run up to the maximum RPM which YOU specify. This will provide you with your car's top performance analysis. Pull #3, can be used, as necessary, to evaluate any tuning or carb adjustments that you may wish to make between runs. Due to the need to accommodate everyone, the schedule will only allow minor adjustments between runs.
• No leaded racing fuels please! It screws up the DynoJet sensors.
• Early callers can reserve a specified time slot; so call early. Each set of runs will take approximately 1/2 hour per car. You should be there 1/2 hour before your time slot.
• Lou would like to test 10-12 cars. First priority will be given to MHCC members, but if you have a buddy that would like to run his car, these will be run after all MHCC members have run, as time will allow. Also, if you have a car other than a cobra, feel free to test it; some folks may even bring a GM.
• We will break for lunch at about 12:00 then continue in the afternoon until everyone has been tested. If your car requires extensive modifications based on early runs, it will be unstrapped and you can make those modifications off of the dyno. You can get back on the dyno for your subsequent runs, as time permits.
• Lou has considerable space in the vicinity of the shop to accommodate trailers if you wish to/need to trailer your car to the test.
• Sorry all of you beer drinkers, MHCC and Lou's insurance will not allow alcohol to be consumed as a part of Dyno Day. Soft drinks will be provided.
• A BBQ lunch will be provided. BBQ pork and Lou’s green chile with all the fixin’s will be served. There is no charge for lunch and there will be plenty to eat. The lunch is worth the trip even if you do not test!
• If you cannot make Dyno Day or if your car may require extended work, give Lou a call to make arrangements for Dyno tuning on another date. He also works on all systems on your cobra if you have other problems in getting your car ready for Spring. He has completed work on several club member's cars already this year.
