I was told by a shop that tried to dyno my car that they had to street tune it because it wouldnt run correctly on the dyno...soo im just wondering if its bad news for the future like getting a new TC or whatever....
Can you be more specific as to what they mean by not running correct?

Was it an AWD dyno?

If not then I'm guessing that might be a large part of the issue.

Unfortunately it is not very local for me either. More like a treat when my car has been good to me for the week, i will fill her up on the weekend!

87 octane map would be kinda nice!

well i wish i could be more specific but all that the guy from slowboy said was that it wouldnt pull on the dyno for whatever reason. I asked if it had something to do with the transfer case etc.. and they said some evos just dont run on the dyno. sooo i dont know, im just looking forward to get my car back tomorrow...maybe...who knows...hadnt had it since Feb 9th

but it would be nice to know why it doesnt pull on the dyno

pretty sure if it wasnt an AWD DYNO the car would have pulled somewhere, either through the garage or over someone!

Some 03 EVOs with old transfer cases don't like the dynapack. Your car specifically has a transfer case thats on the way out, you can hear it whining around tight turns. This causes a problem because the dynapack tries to load all 4 wheels evenly and the t case cannot distribute the torque correctly without getting pissed off. Other than that everything should be ready to go in a day or two. Give me a call tomorrow or call Slowboy and ask for me directly so I can go over everything with you!! :-)

Don't have that much money left from getting the short block and some other things done. But yea I'll give you a ring tomorrow, hopefully everything goes smooth so I'll actually be driving again tomorrow haha, I think I forgot how to...
