Mobile dyno info:
George at BrandXPerformance will be in attendance with his mobile dyno, capable of reading the horsepower and torques of your car. The dyno is a dynojet-type dyno capable of readings up to 2000hp. Sorry to all you AWD people, only FWD and RWD cars. For $75 you get 3 pulls on the dyno with a printout reading of your horsepower and torque. Come show us what power you make and get that car up on the trailer!
