Present the Pacific NW End of Summer Dyno Event

At our last dyno event in December, we had 150 people show up, 30 cars dyno, and 30 free pizzas gone in 20 minutes. This time, we are going to blow that away. This September 18th and 19th event will consist of two days of dyno runs, plenty of free food to go around, and the chance to see some of the fastest cars in the area put down some serious numbers. All 2WD cars and trucks are welcome to participate - we want to see EVERY type of vehicle on the rollers from stock 4 cylinder imports to heavily modified V8 domestics. If you've never seen a 1000hp car or a 1000ft-lb diesel truck on the rollers, you won't want to miss this event. Our dyno is capable of measuring 1800whp and 1800wtq.

If anyone can max out our dyno, EVERYONE dynos for free!

Pricing: $25 for 3 pulls

To sign up, call TorqueFreaks at (503) 256-5600 x 4.

We want to see at least one of these records fall. And remember, if anyone can max out our dyno, everyone dynos for free!

No pun intended but that bottom graph looks hacked....I mean how the hell can a car get 1000rwhp at 3000rpms??? Unless thats an 18 wheeles and the lines are 1000rwtq and 600rwhp, now thats usual but on a gas powered car, impossible.

Yep, that was Ripp and his awesome Dodge diesel. He'll almost certainly be here for the dyno day, kicking out more smoke than I've ever thought possible We've seriously thought about making the diesel guys clean up after themselves

If you guys will be here to dyno, please call us and tell us which day. We need to have an accurate count for each day to adequately staff this event and make sure everyone gets their turn on the rollers. Thanks!!

I just got confirmation that our torque record should be shattered. By how much? I don't know And it's looking like KPDX or KPTV will be here to cover the event.

So who's coming? We want to have a LOT of Mustangs here to beat up on *most* of the imports

The 940HP was Brian's Nova wasn't it?

I would love to have the cobra there but I just don't think it's in the cards at this point.

Yep, that was the Nova all right. Amazing setup and a HUGE turbo! I'm going to try to get a hold of him to make sure he knows about this event. Do you have his contact info?

And if anyone here knows any dragsters that can make it out, we're serious about everyone dynoing for free if someone can put down over 1800whp. I know there are cars in the area that can do it. Get em down here!

I know you can PM him on the forums at www.headsupnw.com or http://www.forcedairracing.com/ is his personal web sight.

I don't have a phone number or anything for him but you may be able to get that from Terry Ryan if you'd rather go that route.

I just talked to him. He'll be here on Saturday. He also said that he's spinning another 1000rpm on a better fuel curve than the dyno plot I showed above. Should be interesting....

I'll be there, but most likely won't take any pulls... I'm sure 450whp won't be that impressive to anyone there

I think I'm going to put my Civic Hybrid on there. Should be around 60whp We have cars signed up making anywhere from 100-1000hp, so everyone's welcome. But whether you dyno or watch, it should be a good time

Okay, we're getting some CRAZY people calling in for this event. Several have claimed to be able to max out our dyno. I think we're going to be bringing some cars in for test fitment on the dyno a few days before the event to make sure we can adequately strap them down Even though we'd obviously lose a lot of money if someone maxes our dyno out, I really hope someone can. Just the sound of 2000hp makes it worth it I hope these guys show up!

Nitro powered funny cars? What is your decibel limit out there? hehe.

I'm not going to make it to the dyno day, but once I get all the parts I've been buying on, I'll rent an hour or so to get my Cobra tuned.
