Boost for Boobs: Dyno for a Cause

Cars and boobs. It's a known fact that most car guys like a good rack, so what better way to get a lot of attention than having a dyno day to benefit breast cancer research? MAPerformance in Plymouth, MN certainly had the idea, hosting their "Boost for Boobs," dyno event. With proceeds going to a local breast cancer research group, the rollers were spinning all day, and the grills were staying hot with burgers and hot dogs.

Of course, the dyno wasn't the only attraction. I have said it before, but any type of event generally turns into a car show around here and this event was no different, with the car park filling up fast. I was lucky to grab a spot next to my friend Montana's (aka Straitup D) 240sx. He was sitting fresh on a new set of Primax wheels. Hey, knock-offs or not, they were looking good on the car.

A few other notable mentions were my buddy Dana's FBM turbo'd S2000, buddy Dave's newly acquired 1JZ-swapped, GT40 powered, SC300, and a random R32 GT-R Skyline even showed up. Pretty rare to see in MN. Every brand was well represented though, even a few Mustangs showing up to throw down against the 4 and 6-cyl cars on the dyno. Now, I don't know if this held throughout the day, but the big number when I was there was put down by a rather tattered, and worn looking, 4-door Integra. The white sleeper screamed out an impressive 597whp and 490ft/lbs of torque. I had to do a double-take when I saw it.

All-in-all, a good day, a great event, and for a great cause. It is good to see the car community throwing benefits like this as it only helps the image. Hopefully this event will become a yearly thing and spawn similar events around the area.
