I'll be there! Paul, I'll spare you the trouble of converting the dyno to 2WD... this time. 
However, if the weather dictates that I bring down the van (it's AWD), I think that's definitely worth my $40! :rotfl:

There's not a need to convert a Mustang to 2wd, it reads low enough already
In all seriousness, we ran some tests with an EG (Sorry, Dan, EH :P) and found a ~3 hp difference between running the dyno in 2wd and 4wd on a low-powered car ,and that's as much variation as you see run to run anyways.
And please, don't give the Honda guys crap; D2 is a decidedly upper-tier shop when it comes to Hondas, and they're not messing around with the ricey stuff for the most part. Let's get everyone off on the right foot in our new digs.

HAHA, Oh ya they worked WONDERS on my friends motor swapped Eclipse!! It looked like a two year old wired it, it made my temp. intercooler sprayer wiring job look like god's work, not to mention the thing shorted out and stalled while driving down the road... Now the thing won't start all together, and he said he would push the car off a cliff with the entire thing on fire before he ever brought his car back to them... I got another friend bringing his car into d2 for work, lets see if they do a better job on his car...
Can we atleast Laugh at the Ricey Honda's??!?!

Hey, I owned a Honda and if my car was super riced out with the loud annoying exhaust, I would have accepted being laughed at... I knew my car was slow as ****, so I just made it to how i liked it and drove the ever loving **** out of it!

I remember meeting those guys at Import Motion last year, they were very cool to us and had some really nicely built cars. I think they'll be good neighbors to have as it appears they take their cars very seriously. Good guys.
