EuroCarFan and I are working on an alternative. Four wheel dyno instead of two and for about $80. Stay tuned.

Aren't you getting your car dynoed as well? Don't be chicken.
Yeah but my car is all stock, I can't really get excited over that! I want to get my exhaust work done first before throwing her on the rollers..... Besides, I think Fred is doing his car (well not DOING doing) and his car is pretty much stock so I'm interested to see how his car does.

My car is stock too. I need a baseline to compare to if I decided to end up doing engine mods.

The point of doing the dyno testing is to get a baseline number for your car so that when you get your mods, you can do subsequent testing to see what gains you got with those mods. Even stock cars with the same transmission sometimes have different horsepower figures so relying on Fred's numbers may not do you any good.
Dude, don't rip me a new one this early in the morning!!!
I know I should get a baseline going, I usually like to get mods first before then. That's how I've always done it before on my other cars....

HA! For the last comment, you deserved to get ripped a new one! I made the same mistake. Wish I knew what my car was stock before all the Dinan mods.
Haha yeah but I don't think I'll be modding my car that far. I have other plans for other cars to modify hehee........
