It's been a while since I've had the beast on a dyno - before installing the supercharger as a matter of fact.
From some quick internet research there's a number of shops with dynos in the Louisville area. From my earlier experiences I'm guessing we could arrange a group rate of somewhere in the neighborhood of $75 each, maybe less depending upon how many trucks we can line up. If you're coming to the gtg, or even just a local not planning on getting over to Madison, post up your interest here. If we've got enough to make it seem worthwhile to a shop owner to give us a cost break I'll see what I can arrange. Given that I don't have a firm cost at this point I'm not going to consider anyone's interest as binding at this time. That willl change a bit as we get a better handle on the numbers and details much closer to the gtg date. Depending upon what's negotiated we may have to collect some $s ahead of time to reserve spots / confirm interest.
I'm thinking that Saturday morning will most likely work best, although depending upon what's negotiated with a shop that might change. I'm presuming that doing this on a Saturday will be much less impactful to a shop's normal business than doing this on a weekday.
At the Saturday dinner the most powerful and most torquey first gen AVs, second gen AVs, and 2500s will be recognized, and of course posted here for all of the AV nation to see.
Edit - I want to make sure that it's clear that everyone is inviited - you don't have to have spent thousands on power adders to participate. In fact having some bone stock trucks involved would be nice to provide a baseline.
March 4 Edit - I've lined us up with Automotion in downtown Louisville. They prefer to do this on a weekday so we are going to do this on Friday instead of Saturday. Here's the link to their web site:

They normally charge $85 which gets you 3 pulls - $10 extra if you want to get fuel air ratio data during the pulls. They asked how many of us there would be - I guesstimated 4 or 5 and he said we'd get the 10% group discount with that many. My calculator shows the base charge then being $76.50.
I didn't ask about it but Butch asked me if they can do custom tuning. Per their web site they use HPTuners for GM vehicles so it seems to me that they can do our trucks. Since I didn't ask about it I don't know what that would cost but I'm assuming that would probably be at least a couple $100 more. I'll ask when I touch base with them as we get closer in late June or early July but if anyone is really curious feel free to call and ask them about it - I'm sure they'd love to get more $s from us - LOL! They're good with running our trucks as long as no one is running a diesel - they get the shop too messy.
