dyno at Woodbridge DynoTech in November

[Woods977]

Ok he's what we have. Less than 5 cars $65.00 3 pulls base line. 6 or more $60.00. We need to pick which weekend in Nov. When everyone wants to go. I would suggest the second week of November. I think its the 13th. Chime in people [:D]

[LilRedCorvette]

This is my reply from the other post:

Woodsie-

Count my car in for this. Thank you for taking the time to look into this further for us.

Here's what's available on the club calendar for a weekend dyno event:

Sat. 11/6
Sun. 11/14* NVCC/NVMC event possible
Sat. 11/20
Sun. 11/21* NVCC/NVMC event possible

I dunno if anyone would want Sat. 11/27 or Sun. 11/28 as that is Thanksgiving weekend.

*Note to Paul...can we get a committment from Ceece one way or another on the brunch event so we can get the November calendar more solid? Thanx...

Excellent...Saturday, 11/20 it is. Myself and yellowvet makes 2, just need 4 more at least. I am sure (I hope) we can swing at least that.

Ok, I thought you had an issue [B-)]

[Woods977]

I just talked with John he said he can do as many as 11-12 cars if we start by 9am.

So who's goin when? assuming 35-40 mins per car. Understand there is down time between cars to set them up on the Dyno. I usually help John get the cars set up on the Dyno.

You will get a graph with your horsepower and torque readings and RPM's at 100 intervals showing you the Rear Wheel Horsepower. This will allow you to gauge you cars proper shift point. For example an L98 shift point will be in the range of 4700 rpm to 5000 rpm depending on intake used. LT1/LT4 higher, LS^ even higher [;)]

I can be there by 11.

[Black396]

I'll try to be there by 9:00. If someone gets there before me, they can have the slot and I'll follow them.

[mike229]

I can be flexible - anytime betw 11 and 3 would be fine.

Why dont I throw noon out there for my slot (2 cars - 71 Big Block and RX7 buddy)?

Thanks!

[Black396]

...71 Big Block...

Thanks!

Awesome car! I can't wait to see it dyno. [B-)]

[wazzzup]

Mike or Mike,

If there is any spots availible you can count me in. I would like to get a good baseline dyno before I start doing some work on this thing.

Kool, [B-)] I think there are two slots open. I'll put a schedule together and see what it looks like.

[Black396]

Here is what I've got so far.

We can move the time slots around but I've scheduled each car for 45 minutes to give us some 'fudge'.

Mike S - vette 09:00
Andrej - Miata (09:45)
Andrej - vette (10:30)
Paul M - vette 11:15
Laurie - vette (12:00)
Mike W - vette (12:45)
Mike H - vette (13:30)
Mike H - RX7 (14:15)
Bill - vette (15:00)
George - vette (15:45)


Let me know if the times aren't good for you.

[mike229]

Thanks Mike - remember you had a small part in my choosing to buy the BB earlier this year! Cant wait to figure out my baseline as well as where the heck my true shift points and redline are!

My predictions based on a much exxagerated 365/460 LS5 Flywheel estimate a la GM in 1971:

RWHP - ~250
RWTQ - ~360

I think that is optimistic knowing that this block came out of a truck and who knows whats inside besides a mild Isky Cam and that I need a serious tuning but we'll see...I did add the headers at least.
My friend with the modded RX (another guy named Mike) is hoping for 300+rwhp...

Thanks for coordinaing this and for including me!

I'm looking forward to it and Mike Woods made the phone calls, etc.

I'm thinking 285rwhp/400rwtq out of the BB.

300rwhp out of RX7 is realitively easy depending on what he's had done and how high he wants to run his boost. [B-)]

Guy I know is running 300 with 16-18psi. It is a pretty awesome car considering the weight advantage they have.

[Black396]

TTT ^^^


btw Mike,

Love that Blue! Looking forward to seeing her in person. [B-)]

[urtoslo]

How may cars are going to be at this dyno day? I just found out that the Summit Point Turkey Bowl is Nov 19-21 and I may bow out...... [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D] [:D]

[Black396]

I just got Rich's email also. It would be fun but I can't see doing it as long as I'm still having problems with the 4+3.

I was just talking to John about this Monday evening. We've got 10 cars with your two.

[wazzzup]

I'm still in Mike. I just need to get directions to this place a day or two before we go.

[Black396]

The address is 13016 Bristersburg Road, Midland, Virginia 22728
but I don't like the directions that mapquest or yahoo maps give.

Try them from your place and see if they make any sense. You should be coming in from the west on 610.

[LilRedCorvette]

This is what I got from Mapquest...I'm coming from Centreville...lemme know if it sounds right to you all:

Take LEE HWY/US-29 S.

Merge onto I-66 W toward FRONT ROYAL. 5.2 miles

Take the VA-234-BUS exit- EXIT 47A- toward MANASSAS. 0.2 miles

Merge onto VA-234 BR S/SUDLEY RD. 2.6 miles

Turn RIGHT onto GODWIN DR. 2.0 miles

Turn RIGHT onto NOKESVILLE RD/VA-28. Continue to follow VA-28. 9.7 miles

Turn LEFT onto ELK RUN RD. 6.2 miles

Turn LEFT onto BRISTERSBURG RD/VA-616. Continue to follow BRISTERSBURG RD. 6.2 miles

End at 13016 BRISTERSBURG RD MIDLAND VA

[ArmyVette]

Here's the directions from the website:

http://www.woodbridgedynotech.com/maps/DCmap.htm

John's place will be on the right side; house is on top of the hill and has a split rail fence. The entrance has black asphalt.

Hope this helps just a little.

[wazzzup]

Thanks Lady & Gents. it souds like it's not too far ffrom the honestead. [:)]

We need to put together some kind of schedule/time line for this thing if possible.

OK everyone chime in if you are going. I'm thinking about having everyone prepay. John is spending the entire day with us on the 20th. It would suck if only 2 cars showed up.

We have room for 2 more cars. If you know anyone let them know.

Mike - Will send check for $120 before the 12th for myself (Mike H.) and Rx7 (Mike B.)

Thanks again for coordinating!
-Mike

BTW other Mike (Black396) - I finally got to speak to the owner 2 owners ago who had my motor put in - turns out it is a correct # (not for my car, but correct for a 71 Vette) 454 Block and was built about 3 years ago. It was pulled out of a wrecked 71 Vette which was wrecked even before the motor was broken in so it probably only has 2K miles on it, if even that.
He said it likely has a forged bottom end, bored .030 and he thought 10:1 compression. It had a chunky cam and big holly which he took out and replaced with a milder Isky cam (in it now) - Mega 270 - a good performing stock repl. for the LS5. and a Quadrajet - all for his wife - since it was her car!


So now knowing that with the headers too I like your 285/400 estimates better than my 250/360 - wishful thinking maybe....

[wazzzup]

Cool, Can't wait to see all the vette on the Dyno. I wonder how wicked that big block is going to be.



Andre what are hoping to get out of the Miata?

Also who ever owns the RX7 what kind of mods have been done and what is he hoping to get HP/TQ?

Me too!!!

Also who ever owns the RX7 what kind of mods have been done and what is he hoping to get HP/TQ?

He is hoping for 320-330HP not sure about Torque
He's got '99 J Spec turbo and a bunch of suspension mods for racing. Some other minor stuff - all I know is its FAST. Faster than a stock C5 coupe anyway...ive driven both and can tell a difference...

Overnighting mine at lunch today

I have to go out of town tomorrow. I have to rebuild a webserver and a Oracle database server that got 'hacked'.

I should be back in town Friday night but if there is a problem I won't be back in until Saturday morning. I'll leave a post here one way or the other.

Andrej, what time were you planning on getting there?

[Black396]

DUH! [#-o] Brain Fart! [#-o]

For some reason I was thinking the Dyno was this coming weekend. Talk about getting time screwed up!

I'm running into a slight problem for the dyno day. I can't get Lynn to drive my Vette down for my morning sessions.

Would someone be available to drive my Vette down for the early morning appointment? If no one can drive my Vette, I will have to switch my times to later in the day...

Anyone?

Thanks.

If you need to I could switch times with you. Just let me know what you want to do.

Dre no problems on the time

Below is who I have prepaid so far. We have 7 pre-paid so the we get the $60.00 rate. I will hold off on opening up the dyno to any other group because 7 is enough. Just waiting on Bill and Andre. So were fine for the $60.00 rate [:D]

This is a rain or shine event!! on November 20 (Sarver) [;)]

Those who have later times than. I would like to have you guys as early as possible. Just in case of engine problems with other cars, no shows, etc. Besides it cool to watch. Please have relatively clean oil in the engine, no oil/coolant leaks etc.

I can switch times if someone needs as well, im free the whole day.

[urtoslo]

If you need to I could switch times with you. Just let me know what you want to do.

Or I could drive it for you?

Let me know.

James,

Thanks, I'll take you up on that, as I'd prefer to keep my morning time. George, thanks for the offer to switch, but I'll go with James driving my car.

Many thanks to both of you and Woodsie (for your patience)! BTW, my check is in the mail...

[Woods977]

Cool, Thanks everyone. This is going to be fun to see!!!! [:D]

[wazzzup]

Yeh, this is going to be fun! Can't wait! [:)]

[LilRedCorvette]

Please have relatively clean oil in the engine, no oil/coolant leaks etc.

Well, I am due for an oil change and gotta tow in LilRed to Koon's to replace my flat-as-a-pancake tire anyway, I'll just have them do it all at once. I am certain there's no coolant leak, everything's new in that department. Joe had mentioned I have a small oil leak (the infamous C4 oil leak) but he said it's not major enough to do anything about it yet. I will have Joe check that again as well to be sure.

Thats has to be the rear intake manifold leak. Thats easy and really isn't major at all.

What time should I arrive at your place next Saturday then?

[cdn_eh]

Okay, Okay, Okay, the bunch of you have convinced me ..... if there is still room I'll sign up as well. Have been driving / racing this car for 11 years and still don't know what it puts out for HP. It'll be interesting to see what I have. Fit me in where ever there is a time slot

Mike, do I still send the cheque to you or should I pay when I get there? If I pop it in the mail tomorrow (13th) you should get it in time.

Sorry about the late sign up, we have a visitor (female kind) in town that weekend, but they will either want to do the sight seeing thing (done that) or want to go shopping (don't want to do that).

So I'm getting senile, what can I say. [:p] My return flight from Louisville was delayed almost 3 hours thanks to the lousy weather up here.

Have the female come out to the dyno day! I'll bet she's never done that! [;)] [:D]

[LilRedCorvette]

If anyone from earlier is still around after my pull (my time slot is 12:00-12:45), I am thinking about grabbing lunch in the area before heading home. Anyone is more than welcome to come with.

Additionally...any good lunch spots near Woodbridge Dynotech??? [:p][;)]

[Black396]

hahahahhahahaha! [:))]

Girl, we are out in the middle of the country. I believe the closest town is Garrisonville. We can ask John or Woodsie might know. The only thing I know about is the Burger King in Garrisonville.

I need an earlier spot if someone wants a later spot, my wife
has a birthday party to go to that starts at 2pm, so I need something well before that if someone can switch.

Thanks!

[LilRedCorvette]

Wish I could help ya, but I kinda planned everything around my time slot already and need to keep it as is. Anyone else???

Bill Linton got you check, Andre got you check as well

[wazzzup]

I would help you out Bill, but I think I'm after you.

[Woods977]

Bill just get there early like 8:30 am and we see what happens. I have a 12:45 spot you can have. Also thng might go faster than we think and sweeze you in earlier than 12:45.

I found it out on the Corvetteforum and made an Avatar. I could buy this car if I sold everything I own. The Z06, Grand Sport. I think I'll wait and buy a used one. I have never owned a new one anyway

[urtoslo]

Yeah, I doubt mine will be new either. I can wait a year or two!

[Black396]

Hey Mike,

The problem with your posts when you quote someone is that one of the tags get removed.

There must be an 'open tag' and a 'close tag' A tag is enclosed in brackets [] a close tag is the same as the open tag except it has a slash / in front of the tag code.

A quoted string would look like this except I'm using braces {} instead of brackets [] so you can see it.

{quote}This is a quote{/quote}

With the brackets it looks like this
This is a quote

If you leave one of the tags off or if it is malformed it screws up the forum software.

[Akcelr8]

It sounds like eventually Mike Geyer, Rich Roemer and I will be the only ones campaigning a C4! BTW Mike, I like your new Avatar alot better than your last one. [;)]

The trailer is in Sterling (Ruritan) and I have the keys. However, I don't think the tent will fit into the Tahoe, and I can't tow the trailer, because I'm towing the Miata. James is driving my Vette. I will have my little tent in the Tahoe! But it's going to stop raining, right? [:D] [;)]

Are either one of you two going to be there later on in the day? I'm going to come a little early, but not too early. Mom is in town from Florida and will probably be coming with me. I plan on bringing those pictures from Rosecroft so that you can get them out with the trophies.

I was happy with my runs, very surprised actually, very consistant pulls, ran best with 259.5 rwhp, 352 rwtq. Not bad for a L98 ... not LT1!

[mike229]

I ran 253 rwhp and 345 rwtq - I guess it needs to be tuned badly...or else the top end rebuild I was possibly planning! [:D]

The Rx7 pulled 277rwtq with the wastegate/controller issue - should have been more...

Woodsie - thanks again for putting this together - it was a lot of fun!

Mike

[yellowvet]

I would have thought the same thing. My numbers were 330 rwhp and 338 rwtqe. Guess I only have 14 hp before I catch up with the ZO6. It was a great day and it was a pleasure to meet everyone.

You and me both, honey. I had similar numbers. Glad I found the problems I did on my baseline dyno so I can begin to do something about them (translation: spend more $).

Ditto that sentiment. [:)]

Glad you had a good time and you had some nice numbers. [B-)] Hope to see you at some other club events soon. I'm already starting to plan next year's cruises and stuff, if you are interested in membership, we have an application on our website you can D/L and fill out. I think you would enjoy it!

[wazzzup]

Actually, you people need to remember that Woodsies Z06 is a 01 model. They came with 385 hp at the flywheel not 405 hp like the newwer C5 models. So once you do the calculations as was shown to me yesterday he was right on the money. Plus his is strictly stock. No mods!

[Woods977]

Thanks everyone, It was alot of fun and it was great seeing everyone. The Z06 pulled 343 RWHP, thats 384 to the crank so its in line. (Not too bad) I was really surprised how much exhaust and a cold intake help the C5's. [;)]

I always find it interesting on just baseline. How some cars you thought were in tune. I mean they feel fine driving, no hesitation, yet the dyno shows different. John said my had detonation up top around 5000 rpm. So I guess we will be putting wide band 02's on to find out the air/fuel ratio and timing maps

[wazzzup]

It was a lot of fun! John was able to tell me a few things about the automatic that was very interesting. After the numbers were run, and the calculations done he said that mine was pulling 362-364 hp at the flywheel which is actually more than chevy claims, and that's bone stock. [:)] [:D]

Your only taking 11% drivetrain loss with those numbers, is
that what it actually is? Ive heard anywhere from 13-17% for
Manual's and up to 20% for automatics.

Anyone know the true C5 loss?
