Is that why no one does it when they say they will?

Where would you even go to do it?

Very expensive...a friend of mine told me to get some G-Force Pro or some crap like that...I don't know if those "G-Force" things actually work, but if anyone who's done some serious modifications to their Civic could do some dyno testing and give us horsepower and torque results, that'd be cool.

CapYoda has a spectacular aura aboutCapYoda has a spectacular aura about
g-tech pro...

measures ur quarter mile time, gives wheel horsepower estimates, 0-60 times, etc. etc. there are other devices that do that too.

it works... pretty accurate.. BUT, the horsepower deal works only when u know ur car's weight... and we can only really estimate, unless u go and get it weighted.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! G-tech Pro! Okay, well...the weighing car part should be a lot cheaper than dyno...if you can find some way to get it weighed.

Hey since you live in the chicago burbs, go to APG Performance, they might not be the best shop in town, but they do two dyno runs for $50. So, $25 for a dyno run isnt that bad.

There is a place by me called Force Fed Industries that charges $55 for 3 pulls. They also say they can put a turbo on almost any car. Might have them check out my car.
