Default Dyno day

Gents

Wondering if there'd be any interest in a Dyno Day, maybe in the Spring to avoid anyone having to run on winter tyres!

Has anyone organised one on this forum before? Any venues of choice?

I was thinking MRC would be the obvious choice, however I had a good experience at Evolve in Luton last year with some 911s.

I say 'good' as their dyno produced bang on factory figures for a 911 3.2 Carrera with a newly run in, rebuilt engine, and my BMW E24 at the time hit just over factory figures (also having been rebuilt).

Assume we'd need a minimum of 10-15 cars to make it worthwhile.

Thoughts?

I'd be up for a Dyno day in Luton, it's not too far away.
Be interesting to see how many ponies I've lost.

I would vote for MRC, had a couple of cars dynoed there.
Not wanting to boast too much my current S8 surprised us, for a 14 year old car with 120k miles on the clock it made the factory 355hp on the 4-wheel dyno.
Actually I want to dyno my S8 again soon before I get a new exhaust so I can compare before and after. So I would be interested in a MRC dyno day.

I'd be tempted too, just to see how strong the old girl is

I'd be keen to pop down (not on the rollers just yet) but to see the action at MRC

I'd be interested in going to MRC. Chances are the S8 won't be run in by the spring, but we have a TT now too so it'd be interesting to run that
