PS - I'm not dynoing if they don't let me drive my own car on the dyno. I have major clutch slippage as it is and I know how to WOT into this without getting too much slip.
Gestapo, can you find out if they'll let you run your own car? Many companies don't have a problem with this as long as you show maturity and knowledge of the car itself.

unfortunatly i dont believe they let you do it maybe for their own insurance reasons. The shop is new and NICE. they dyno Z06's and Vipers man. Im sure if you let taylor know your situation ahead of time it wont be a problem, but if clutch slippage is that bad on your car, i think you have other issues. As long as b4 the dyno you take some spins around the block shifting at 3-4 grand like your supposed to you shouldnt get slip on a normal pull
woooowww

You can ask NSI if you can dyno the car yourself, I can get you their number if you want. Just saying all of the times and video's iv seen of cars being dyno'd their have been with Taylor in the driver seat.
And my Personal Car Update:
National Speed called today and told me they tested my low pressure fuel pump, was putting out an acceptable fuel pressure. They said it was between 2 things, my High Pressure Fuel pump all together, or the cam lobes on the Fuel pump were rounding off and they need to replace them, they checked the cam and it was just fine, but they said they noticed when the car was running you hear the DI ticking noise these cars are known for. Well they said you heard the tic coming from the Injectors but not the Tic from the fuel pump. They said it seems they need to replace the entire high presure fuel pump and it runs about $450.
I asked Nick if this is normally a warrenty item, he said yes. He said if there in stock it should be on my car today. I cant see them being in stock at the dealer though. Anyways im saving the old one so I can take it to the dealer b/c my father wants to bitch at them. Works for me. Just happy to get some update on my car

i wasnt getting offensive. Just thought you were being quiet paranoid saying there was no way you would let any1, especially some1 who knows more about cars (not me, guys at the shop), dyno your car. The pointers I were giving you were just little things I have read to help you with your clutch slippage in general, as I have those problems as well, and these things seem to help. No need to laugh and act like the all knowing dick, as I drove my car normal and dealt with occasional clutch slip untill I read about ways to drive to help avoid it.
You can ask NSI whatever you want, but im just saying I have never seen anyone else besides Taylor in the driver seat on their dyno the entire time they have been open, and im talking dyno car's worth FAR more than a Cobalt SS with clutch slip issues at 300hp

. Regardless, I'm curious to see how she'll react down there as opposed to the dyno I did up here on the rainy day. I know it's not the HP that's causing my clutch to slip as opposed to the TQ. I'm probably more at 375-380 but the damn car can't keep the TQ down due to my clutch rated at 340lb/ft. Regardless, it'll be a fun time!
Know anyone with a vic. red wingless trunk?!!
<- now there's something I'm lol'ing about not at myself!

Mis communication, they happen. I wasn't laughing at YOU. I was laughing at the fact that I need a new clutch so soon . Regardless, I'm curious to see how she'll react down there as opposed to the dyno I did up here on the rainy day.

<- now there's something I'm lol'ing about not at myself!Nathan's clutch was going and he tried to get his car dyno'd their and they couldnt even dyno it b/c his clutch was so bad. They were pissed as they spent 5 minutes strapping ti down real good and then got in it and did a quick pull between shifts and said "....wtf" and had to take everything off the dyno b/c it slipped so bad. If Taylor dyno's your car just let him strap it down and stand next to him and let him know how you do it.
