How many kilometres should a 6T have done before it's *safe* to go on a dyno? Is there a minimum before it's safely run in for this kind of thing?

I'm sure everyone will have an opinion on this, however my own thought is that as long the engine has run say 2-3000 clicks, then it should be happy with 6000rpm.

That's my take.

Mind you, and I've seen this heaps, when a workshop (tuner) is given a brand new vehicle to fit extractors, exhaust and edit the computer, the workshop people will put it through its paces even though it has virtually zero kaps. Ultimately I don't think it's as critical these days as it once was.

Hi All,

I'll be there, but my car won't :nono: !!!!! It's in the shop for a demon engine re-build........ so to ensure I get a chance at the Edit package, I've done a deal with the devil :msm: .....

No, not satan...... worse...... I'm going to come along in my mates SS Commodore. After all, sometimes it's nice to see how the other half lives !!!

See you there..... I'll be wearing the Ford shirt !!! :msm:

That should make me stand out in the crowd !!!! I look forward to meeting many of the "names" of the forum.

Cheers

Robin.

18 actual applications received in total noting that this includes a 3 Commodores. Does this mean some people haven't actually entered yet?

I put my entry in online, so do I have a spot? Also What time should I turn up?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Just to reiterate an earlier post, the day starts at 9.00am.

So you can either all get their early and indulge in watching, stirring and flinging mud at mates cars that don't produce as much power as yours, or maybe wait until 11.00 or whatever. Mind you, if everyone waits until 11.00, it won't be good!

REMEMBER - ONLY those who pre-enter are eligable for the free CAPA box. And someone will win it on the day!!!

Come on down folks, get those entries in!
