The place in Redmond is called 'Dyno Authority'. They're at 18014 Redmond Way D-34 Redmond. 425-869-8324 will put you in touch with them.

...and I had my hand in it's creation way back when...

Don't forget that there's also a pretty active Washington Chapter at Fordtruckworld.com. There'd probably be a few people there interested as well.

Mustanglife also has meets every Friday night in Puyallup on South Hill behind the Starbucks. Lots of nice stangs and friendly people up there in case anyone is interested. Until the weather gets warmer we have changed our meeting place to the Krispy Kreme at the South Hill Mall.

I'm sure there will be lots of WA members interested in the dyno. Thanks for setting this up.

The dyno is a new one at:

"Fairlady Motors"
2912 69th Avenue West #D14
University Place, 98466.

Plugging that into Map Quest or similar site should get you there. I'll post directions too. It's a shop that specializes in Z cars. He had a EFI 5.0 sitting in a Z when I stopped by. He said that the SBF is lighter, physically smaller, and makes tons of power; and he prefers it to the SBC for Z swaps. It looked like parking will be no problem and we are going to try to organize this so we can line up the cars and go right through the garage with no backing out. We'll see.

$30 for ONE pull?? $10 per pull for WB or is that a one time setup??

I think I am not the only one that would want a package for like 3 pulls.. lets you at least tinker with timing or FP a little bit. One pull is sort of anti climactic as you can't do anything to see if it helps?? Usually dyno day specials are 3 pulls for $40-70 +one time WB setup.

I might be interested, just let me know about number of pulls..

This is the pricelist given to me.

 

[lamrith]

So $40-45 ( dependng on turn out) for 1st run with WB, $20 each additional with WB.. That is not bad at all.. Pencil me in for 3 runs. I will let you know if anything changes before then, but I plan to be there.

OH, I already have a spare O2 bung on my Exh, so they will not have to do that heh

 

[Tom in Tacoma]

I used to set up Dyno Days (that some of you attended last year) with Mustang Life and Ford Truck World. They were done at Turbo Tech. The prices quoted above are basically the same price that we paid TT 5 years ago - and you'll get more real-world numbers on the Mustang dyno.

I will check on his ability to weld in bungs. For those who need them, it might be prudent to get that done in advance. But any of us with EFI cars can just remove an O2 sensor.

Thanks for the info, Tom. I understand that this dyno can simulate a 1/4 mile pass, but just like in the real world, traction is an issue. So if you have slicks, bring them. If you are interested in wide band info (like me), I don't think traction is an issue.

 

[lamrith]

Yeah I have 4 bungs in my exh from a previous EFI, only using 2 now so not a problem...

So traction will be a problem?? I hope strapping the car down would help with that...

hmm, how good are these guys at tuning? I was gonna do mine at bloods mustang dyno.

I don't know. What year is your mustang?

 

[tarch]

I don't know. What year is your mustang?

94 or 95

 

[stock50LX]

94 or 95

There should be enough 5.0 people around to get that done.

The reason traction might be an issue is because the Mustang dyno puts a load against the drive wheels (versus the Jet dyno being an inertia type).

I thought there was something wrong with my truck because it took so damned long to wind it up on the Mustang dyno. Then they explained it to me...
