Hitting a kangaroo, radar, pothole or ya mates nanna while doing double the speed limit is the part where it gets risky. But yeah that's just my 2c....at the end of the day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be the devils advocate to myself, mebbe they will only do 2nd gear pulls and just pull some timing from it so it won't knock in the higher gears? Anyhow I don't want to be a scaremonger, I just wanted to raise awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found another place that look like they have a 4 wheel dyno nearby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some random with a AWD dyno or someone who really knows what they are doing putting a tune in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTerritory Member 40 Member For: 2y 10m Posted 29/07/21 11:18 AM Author Share Posted 29/07/21 11:18 AM (edited) I’m still planning on using them, was just going to see if I could book time at this dyno. Get black track to tune it on their dyno. Edited 29/07/21 11:20 AM by TomTerritory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too and then immediately thought, why aren't they able to rent a dyno? Seems a bit weird but I'm sure there is some reason for it.
