Nah, building a dyno is project for the future, in the meantime, I plan to just clock some quartermile times with a stop watch.So CrazyDave have You ever tested out Your pro Stocker with a speed checker or anything?
Problem is I got to do it outdoors, and find a time when my wife or friend is willing to help, and that just hasn't happened lately.

I believe that a Zip/bit could go 16 mph or so....it would just take a really good motor (4.2, 3.8, or the Phast motor from RCmod), KIT racer gearings, FETs, a paralleled layman's tricell, and of course, some really soft grippy tires.... 
EDIT: a little advice on calculating speed:
I calculated that, with the setup I mentioned, it would go at least 20 mph...
motor rpm= 38,000, cut in half with load, then back up to 38000 with FETs
KIt gear ratio= 3.43:1
Rear wheel circumference= 4 cm
38000 times 3 (tricell)= 114000
divided by KIT racer gear ratio= 33236.2 wheel rpm
times wheel circumference= 132944.6 cm per minute
convert to inches by dividing by 2.5= 53177.8
convert to feet by dividing by 12= 4431.5
times 60 to convert feet per minute to feet per hour= 265889
divided by 5280 to convert to mph= 50 mph.....well, maybe not...but you guys get the idea...
