Socal E60,
Pick a date for a dyno day at RPI. The dynamometer that is used is a Dyno Dynamics aka "Heartbreaker" dyno. When you see your hp and torque numbers, you'll know why it's called the "Heartbreaker" dyno. It certainly broke mine.

Here is their address and contact number:
7209 Marcelle St, Paramount CA
562-630-5966

The cost will be $50/car with 10 people or $75/car with 5 people. Each car will get a minimum of 4 pulls. These prices are cheap compared to other shops which charge about $100 for 3 pulls. Pick a date and add your name to the list!

Great Dyno prices indeed!

I'd be down there in a heartbeat if I lived in SoCal.
Guys, take advantage of this great opportunity.

i'd be all over this, but my car automatically kicks down - thus not allowing for a accurate guage!

Great dyno prices Eloy! This is great for someone who's always wanted to get solid numbers and at a very competitive price!

John,
I spoke to Eloy about the Steptronic upshifts. There may be an alternative. Hopefully, Eloy will chime in.

The work around on the upshifts is to roll into the throttle and stop before the kick down switch. So, e60s with Steptronic can certainly attend.

i was at RPI to get a dyno few wks ago and he said the results wouldn't true to form since it kicks down. unless something drastic has changed, i'm not gonna get my hopes up.
