i_love_cars Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 well i lucked out - i ordered my new water pump yesterday and turns out the place I got it from was based out of Illinois so everything was delivered today. I fully expected it to be delivered on like Monday or something. So I'm gonna replace it tonight so I should have a functioning BMW for Sunday. is anyone else planning to go?

patsbimmer1 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 As always, I will be there. My wife has to work so I will have my son with me so based on his mood we'll see how long I stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Full Banana Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 It's this coming Sunday? I might be up for a drive, depending on how much of a heartbreaker the dyno is on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bk335 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Yep, I'm planning on going SaturdayI know they have a dynojet, so they're usually considered pretty accurate, not a heartbreaker like a mustang dyno. I was planning on heading there after work today, but I need new spark plugs, as it just started misfiring above 18psi, I ordered some from amazon on Tuesday, they said guaranteed delivery by Thursday, and they somehow arrived in Des Moines, Iowa this morning (mind you they shipped from the new amazon Kenosha facility). So I likely won't be getting them until tomorrow. I'm trying to find a store around here that carries the NGK 5992 or Bosch ZGR6STE2 and so far, no luck..

i_love_cars Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 dyno is about gains from stock-to-wherever you are currently modded, not top numbers. Mustang dynos aren't inaccurate at all, assuming you compare apples to apples and always use the same dyno for the same car whenever you want to see a change in power from a mod as a percentage. Any dyno, including a heartbreak (mustang) dyno, can be fabricated to produce large numbers but they are still going to all be relative if you ran the same car bone stock on the same dyno with the same configuration. I could have a dynojet show my car making 600 hp but that doesn't mean anything in isolation. now are you coming to some god damn cars and coffee or not?! patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a shipping problem with something from Amazon a couple weeks ago. I notified them about it and they gave me an additional month of Prime for free.

I know the point is to see the gains, otherwise the numbers are more or less relative, like you said. I meant many people consider the dynojet numbers to be the "norm". People always say "250whp on a mustang dyno" blah blah blah, just because they historically read low. I'm know you know this.. just rephrasing what I actually meant. Now, C&C, is this in lake mills?
