3rd Annual Pittsburgh Mazda Dyno Day, April 17th
- Thread starter thejeans
- Start date
So explain how this works for a newb (me). I show up, get in line with the rest of the cats, then when it's my turn, they pull my car up, strap it to the dyno, then accelerate to 2nd or 3rd gear, then WOT to redline, the dyno reads that pull, then coast down to cruising speed again, repeat 2 more times?
I don't have any tuning capabilites in my car so one pull is really all I need. But 3 pulls would give me a more precise hp/torque average, right?
My cars motor is pretty healthy so I'm not too worries about the 3 redline pulls, but if it's unnecessary, then I'm fine with one pull so I can let the other guys go. But I'll still pay the $47, no worries.

It's hard to say which pull will be best. Sometimes it can be the first one, some times the 3rd one. It's not like it takes a lot of time to do 3 pulls. Most dynos I've seen, it takes longer to actually put the car on the roller than it does to actually do it.
yeah you pay 47 whether you want 1,2, or 3 pulls (if your just coming to hang out its 7 for the lunch)
my personal experience with my car is that the 3rd pull has been the best pull... atleast its been that way for me the last 2 years haha
its a dyno in a guys personal garage so we all park in his driveway (between the house and garage) and hang out while they prep a car on the dyno, then they make sure eveything is good to go and do the pull in 3rd gear (they stop pulling at your desired rmp... ex: you want them to stop at 5500rpm instead of a 6500rpm redline cause you are more comfortable with that)...
the great thing about this place is the fact that its so laid back since it is all mikes personal "toys" and its kinda out in the middle of nowhwere the drive is fun and its just as much fun to hang out bs and see what other guys cars hit as it is your own...
last year kenny and i had a friendly wager to see who put down more... im coming for you this year kenny hahaha

it might be in a garage at a house but, dyno+ a lift + a butt load of tools= a shop. if you ask me.
