Many of you know that the dyno thread was locked, and the sole intent of this thread is to thank those who dyno’d, and those who were instrumental in making this event a success.
Objectives; The objective of the event was for owners to leave with additional knowledge and a better/safer running car, to support their long and short term goals. There were 5 cars; 2 XFI, 1 Sportsman, 2 ECU-GN. Bison worked with each attendee to prepare their car prior to the event and conducted initial evaluations to ensure readiness. Much of this was through preliminary “Live mobile tuning” while he was in Connecticut, and the owner(s) driving around in Houston.
Event; The cars were strapped down and everyone pitched in to assist where needed! This included but not limited to strapping cars down, providing guidance to get onto the rollers, food runs, cleaning the shop, etc. A true Team event! Thank you all!
There was a major rain storm and tornado watch (Thanks Bison LOL!) and associated power outages, forcing us to wait for about an hour to ensure electrical power stabilization. Some attendees and guests are not on the board, but are by no means insignificant in making this a success.
One car really started showing an electrical issue while on the dyno, and Steve V. quickly volunteered to share his knowledge and experience. There was some guessing, and Steve V. was incredible in identifying the root cause, within 10 minutes. He crawled all over the car to identify and fix the issue. What an asset to the TR world, and you would need to meet and talk this guy to really understand his knowledge and absolute integrity. THANK YOU @Steve V !
As expected, Bison never disappoints! He again proved to be an absolute subject matter expert and its’s hard to explain how good he is. He would NEVER let a car leave with a “Hail Mary Tune” looking for a number. You would have to be on the receiving end of his services, and willing to learn to really understand. Within an hour on one car, we witnessed “Can’t be done” that I have read for many years on this board, posted by many “tuners”. Don’t ask for details as it is not my place to share. Unreal. THANK YOU BISON!
Chuck's car was on the dyno and he is very familiar with the dyno set-up. He put in a FULL DAY of work to help strap down, run the dyno, move fans, guide vehicles, etc. The event wouldn’t have been as successful without his assistance and leadership. THANK YOU @Chuckd !
James did not dyno but will always have a free pass. You would have to watch this guy to understand his passion, demeanor, and work ethic! His passion, knowledge are work ethic are on display in the quality of the work on his car. This is one of the absolute cleanest I have ever seen! THANK YOU @JAMCAR223 !
Collective feedback on “Lessons learned” from attendees, special and invited guests (You know who you are) deemed this an absolute success. It is fair to say that the event doesn’t happen without people who are willing to take a leap of faith, and invest in their cars and knowledge. I would like to personally and publicly thank each dyno attendee for helping to make this such an unforgettable event.
Take away; The combination of a dyno and event managed by James made this an absolute BLAST and SUCCESS because of the people involved. There were no drama queens looking for a handout, or looking to be served. Everyone assisted where needed, and the comradery was second to none! Awesome group of people. Let’s see if we can add TurboTweak and/or Bailey to the special attendee list next time.
PS: My car is very close to being out of turbo and @bison wouldn’t even discuss a taking my money, until I run the car at the track. Thanks a lot Pal! LOL!!
