DC Performance HEMI/SRT8 DYNO Day, March 19th 2011

The roar of a 500+hp exhaust breaking into 140+ MPH is enough to give anyone a rush.  Thinking, feeling, hoping that massive horsepower has been achieved and there is yet another king of the hill on the HP chart.  This was the pure motivation to wake up on Saturday, March 19th. 

TheAutoMod had the great opportunity to visit Aaron @ DC Performance for a great day of horsepower demonstration and networking.  Upon my approach to DC Performance, I was waived up to the front where we got the best parking spot at the show.  Just as we got situated between a Corvette ZR-1 and a Twin Turbo V10 Viper, we hear the gradual acceleration of dyno spinning... meaning one thing, POWER!

Anyways, to make a long story short, there was about 25-30 cars that showed up while I was there.  I only got to see a few dyno runs, but none the less, it was awesome.  Aaron and the DC performance crew, put on a great show, showed excellent hospitality, and demonstrated their ability to build, test, tune, and show off amazing rides!  Big Thanks again to everyone at DC!

Here are a few pictures of the event:

BFxenon installs the first HID kit... Fiat 500 USA


BFxenon installs the first HID kit... FIAT 500


http://www.theautomod.com/forum/topics/bfxenon-installs-the-first-hid


Once again BFxenon has done it!  We have just installed the first HID conversion for the new 2011 Fiat 500!  We got the great opportunity to visit OC Motorsports (BFxenon Distributor) in Costa Mesa, CA and install our lights in this new Fiat.

The install was very easy and only took about 45 minutes.  the hardest part to the install was finding a place to mount the ballast with so little engine compartment room.  This also inspired us to engineer a new ballast bracket to help the install process go more smoothly.

Here are some before and after pictures from the install:
