If you want dyno time following your tune with ED, you will have to sign up to compete in the dyno challenge.

REGISTER FOR THE DYNO: http://www.allcorvettecruisein.com/dyno

If someone is working with ED, all resonable efforts will be made to coordinate and get you on the dyno toward the end of the competition so that delays to the event are minimized.

I get asked to do this, but I'm gun shy with dynoing my car unless its at ECS. Last time I put my car on the dyno, My dipstick launched out of my car like a bottle rocket.

Putting a high performace car on a dyno is a safe and fun expereince.

If a dipstick (pistons or anything else) flys out of your engine under load, dyno or otherwise, you should take the car back to whoever built it right away.

Mine did the same thing when I first got the Kenne Bell installed. I put a breather on and it has not happened since, even at 18# and 700rwhp.

He was making a joke guys. Johns car makes 780 at the wheels and is a killer on the street all day, he just doesn't like dyno's

Mines hitting the rollers this weekend at ECS but won't make what Johns makes. Cool event though we will keep this one in mind!

What if GM built the engine?

They took my 95 coupe back and replaced an engine after it blew up due to a block defect. It doesnt matter who builds it - $#!^ happens.
