AB7, No worries will let you know.As you say same day,same dyno would be really interesting with a variety of cars. I am sure Chris Dalton would be able to give a quick summary of each cars torque, power and AFR that we could reproduce as an article for MXtra and this forum.

Maybe we could do an early morning run to Lorne and back inland just to make sure that they are "warmed up"?

yes i am sure that is the people speeding at that dangerous speed(64 kph) who have caused the increase in our road toll this year and not the idiots that are happy to do burnouts in broad daylight or who hoon around at night with little chance of being caught or are so capable that they can drive with a phone stuck to their ear.Shame on you!!!!

Will see Chris Dalton and make a tentative date, then post again seperately.thanks for your interest.

erm...i'm confused by your question lol.

the cars go onto a dynamometer (dyno) and it measures the car's torque, which is used to measure power.

lol i thought dyno run was an event, like a day or something which involved everyone getting their cars dynoed.

Lol, i think what he wants to know is what occurs in the event, rather than how a dyno works.

Ok I have posted under general chat re the dyno day.

When i spoke to Chris Dalton about arranging the day he said that an NC had made about 4.5RWKW more with a Remus muffler than stock, so it would appear that the NC muffler is fairly restrictive. The exhaust guys reckon the rest of the system looks pretty good.

I am hoping Town and Country may have a go at a custom setup for the NC.

Is anyone running with no muffler?

ie/ still has cat and resonator, but from the axle back they either run another resonator or straight pipe.
