So I would like to add my name to the official 1/4 mile data base and will eventually, but since there are no proper (local) 1/4 mile tracks in the San Diego area (the closest is Auto Club Speedway which is about 1.5 hours from me), I’m taking an opportunity to throw my car on the Dyno. What??? Yes I know, the word Dyno is a dirty word around here, but the opportunity presented itself and I’m gonna do it for fun just to see what I get.
This will take place on May 31st. The particular shop where I’m doing this uses an AWD Dyno Dynamics unit so I’m expecting slightly lower numbers. I’ll get a print out and share with the group.
My car is DSG/Stg 1 APR, stock air box with K&N, xpipe exhaust mod with Magnaflow mufflers. Any guesses what I should see with this set up on this Dyno?
Also, while I’m on the subject I had a thought - you guys can trash this if you want, it’s just a thought and I would definitely not be offended if it gets flamed.
While we know the true measure of a cars performance is settled on the 1/4 mile, would it make any sense to add a column to the data base that shows each cars dyno output as well? Maybe I’m way off base here, but perhaps this would be a way to centralize dyno pulls and highlight deltas in relation to 1/4 mile times and really put the screws to those guys that live by the dyno. Or does that just introduce too many variables and make things more convoluted? And, maybe this would only make sense if all the dyno queens would post their 1/4 mile times???..IDK.
Thoughts?
