The local dyno shop was having $55 tests today (Saturday)
and I stopped by with the bone stock 91 Mocha Plus.
Just wanted to see if my seat of the pants impression was
correct. I had felt, and I think Ron Porter will back this
up, that the car felt like a good strong (otherwise: Normal)
stock SHO.
Two pulls were almost identical an a tick under 190 hp.
I was happy to confirm that the car is making almost
perfectly the 220 hp it is advertised to have.
Since this guy had the exact same dyno setup that I used to
have, and he knows me, he let me drive my car on the dyno.
Have to say I miss that feeling, and all the motions came
back instantly.
Also, it was the first time I got to ride up and down on the
lift. When I had my shop, I always ran the system rather
than ride!
Fun day.
