Dyno Day success!





Thanks go out to all the participants & attendants involved in our first
annual upstate NY Scirocco List Dyno Day!  We had a great weekend, with
beautiful weather and plenty of fun.

We had five cars make runs, Jim Jarrett had both his Passat Wagen VR6 and
his (black) Rabbit Convertible 16v, Ben Harder ran his (black) 16v Roc,
Josh Able ran his (black) 16v Roc, and I brought the lighter side of
the Scirocco force with my (white) 16v.  We each did several runs apiece,
and I think everyone (except Ben) was pretty pleased by their performances.

The VR6 took top HP honors by a slim margin of about 2 hp, and Jims 16v
conversion did very well also.  I'll let them all fill you in their
individual details. We'll have graphs online asap.

As for my own performance, it was a marked improvement over last year,
and peak numbers don't show the full story.  I had a max power reading
of 141.3 hp, and max torque of 129.3 ft/lbs at the wheels.  The coast down
measurement indicated about 18% drivetrain loss, accessories add 2-3%.
This nets about 170 hp and a torque peak of 155 ft/lbs.

More info to follow.
