So i found a dyno today...

I'm finishing a long term build and I needed some Redline fluids. The closest dealer to me is Griffin Motorwerkes. They're in the euro side of the hobby/passion/moneypit scene. As I'm chatting it up with Mr. Griffin he mentions they just got a dyno. Took me to the back of the shop to show me.

BRAND NEW MUSTANG!!

Settled down in a super nice dyno cell with some of the gnarliest ventilation and induction fans I've seen. And with an hvac background I've seen some stupid fans.

Who wants to do a dyno day? He says he has baselined against gst's mustang and has a similar, if slightly lower reading setup to Mike.

Dunno why I'm mentioning really. Just thought east bay folks would be interested to know there's a local option.

Seriously though... if enough folks were interested in doing some pulls id be down to talk to them and try to organize it....

Because the Mustang Dyno at GST with one of the best subaru tuners in the world isn't a "local" east bay option?

Haha! Yup. That he does! Terry is well. I haven't ever sat down and chatted with him at length before today so I wanted to be polite and address him as such haha.

No Ray, wasn't saying that at all. Not at all. Just thought I'd share the fact that there was a new Mustang further north on that side of the bay. Like 5 min from my house so I got excited haha. Wasn't talking about getting tuned there by any stretch either! Hells no. Just thought it was a cool idea for some pulls. Excuse to get some subie folks together if folks were down. :-) obviously Mike is tops

He's been testing turbos and working on the car. I'm sure after the holidays he'll do one. If need be, I'll organize it with him. I need to deliver some artwork to him anyways.

Always down for a dyno pull or two at gst. . Need to finish the car first!

Hey Ed! The block is now sleeved and full Ferrea valvetrain. Very similar to apetron's build. Car has been down for over a year and I'm very much looking forward to driving it again...

WS - run the Justy, run the Justy!!
