[Lord Aries]

AVALANCHE DYNO WARS
2008 Nationals GTG



So, you think you’ve got the most powerful Avalanche or maybe just more power then the one next to yours or just wondering how much power your AV makes? Well, its time to find out!!!

Date: 25th, must be there by 9:00am
Event Coordinator: Lord Aries
Event Judges/Officials: Air Cooled Classics

 
I am working closely with a local Dyno shop in Knoxville called Air Cooled Classics to make this event a reality at the 2008 Nationals.

Air Cooled Classics has set us with a price of $80.00 per truck for three pulls and a print out of the runs!!!! The date is reserved, we can show up with as little as 5 trucks or as many as 12.


Event Info

RULES - Based on experience at other similar events (subject to change)

Each competitor will get Two runs with a Ten minute break between the runs for a quick cool down. You will NOT be able to adjust your set up in anyway once on the Dyno, the best of two runs is your judged run to be compared to the other competitors in your class. Both Horse Power and Torque numbers are taken into consideration for the judged runs. Judged runs will be made in 2nd gear or equivlent.

Your two runs will be scheduled to take place at a certain time of day to allow pursuit of other activities. If however you are not at the event at your scheduled time, you forfeit your runs unless the event coordinator can reschedule them later in the day.

Trucks will be set into a class when signing up but, Trucks will be inspected for class rating before being put on the Dyno at the event.

This should be interesting.

man, this is gonna be GREAT!!!

(damnit Mo's never gonna get a trophy or plaque  )

Best stock

[Lord Aries]

Loggie, got you added in Bottle+ Class


Mo, go for the Stock+ Class OR get you some performance parts on that thing soon... 

[AVcop]

This is a great idea I'll have to put some thought in this one. I am tempted though, just to see what my truck would do.

[joeami]

hmmm, this would be fun, maybe strip out the 35's and throw on the stockers

[KY_BOB]

I'm in.  I guess I'll bring the bottle and try to be the



Although, I could un hook the bottle and run in Boost Crazy. 

Anyone have a set of 2 stock tires that I can bolt on for this?

[KY_BOB]

Any chance of a discount for someone entering a second class?  I could run both Big Dog and Boost crazy if it weren't too expensive.  I'm betting that Trannyman and Loggie might also be interested.  Just a thought.

[BlueDevil]

Hope you dont mind Lord,i posted this thread over at MAC as well

http://www.midwestavalancheclub.com/national-areas/dyno-wars-at-2008-nationals/msg17505/?topicseen#msg17505

[Hop45]

I will definitely be a spectator for part of this

[KY_BOB]

MainOne is considering this but wondering what class he would be in, Hot stock or Natural Breathers.

He has the original engine and it is naturally aspirated but it has had the cam changed in it.

[Lord Aries]

KY, I think running in two classes would be ok... lets see how many trucks sign up and then we'll figure out a cost for that option.

MainOne's truck would fall into the Natural Breathers class due to the CAM. Hot Stock is all Basic Bolt-Ons and a CAM is not really a Basic Bolt On.



Also guys, its ok to change classes up to the day of the event if you do any mods between now and then that would affect your class rating.

[Loggie]

I'd be up for a second class too

[anglarry04]

this event makes me wanna go...im still gonna be a last min decider

[KY_BOB]

I'd be up for a second class too

I forgot about Boo.  I'll bet he would run 2 classes too.

You know me too well my friend I'm in 

[MS03 2500]

Hummm

With Ky_bob's help with the HPTuner, I may try this myself I really want to see what a  8.1 unleashed can do. 

[Loggie]

 

[KY_BOB]

You know me too well my friend I'm in 

Yes, I do.


I think that everyone is worried about having a truck make a good showing.  I know that you and I will pull out all stops to spin the rollers but the fun in this is having a crowd doint it.

Remember how much fun Bowling Green was?  We had 50-60 trucks hit the drag strip.  That was a blast even though I was running 17's.

This is about fun!

[Loggie]

If I cannot make 2 runs I'll run one stock and another with the spray.  This way I have a baseline when I change nozzles

[MS03 2500]

Good idea Loggie, I was thinking one before tune and one unleashed.

[Lord Aries]

The rules of a Dyno War state that you CAN NOT make changes to your set up once on the Dyno, it's all or nothing once on the rollers...


That said, I am sure that running in two class will be ok, its just a matter of figuring out the cost. If there is enough time I am sure we could arange some Non Competition time to make a pull or two for Baselining after the event...


Also, You have got to PM with the required info to be in this. I need to keep a detail list of everyone in the event.

I'm assuming that it won't be a problem to have the laptop hooked up during the runs?  I'm also wondering if it's better to run with the converter locked or un locked?  That can be changed by one click. 

[Lord Aries]

Laptop should be fine, you want to be in 3rd Gear (1:1 gear) and Lock the converter if you have that ability.  When doing this with out a Laptop its a little tricky to roll onto the throttle just right so it does not down shift.

Is your software unlocked, could you plug into anyones Truck to lock the TC and trans into 3rd gear?
Actualy, Livernois can probably bring their GM Tech II with them for this pupose as well...

[KY_BOB]

I can lock or unlock the converter on anything that it will plug into.  I'll have to look into being able to lock it into 3rd.

Are you sure they want us to make pulls in 3rd?  Won't some people hit their speed limiters?

You are supossed to a dyno pull in a 1:1 gear to get a real power number... You can do it in 2nd but, it won't be acurate...

We can use your laptop or a GM Tech II to disable the Speed limiter if we need to. 

[SRFNSNO]

If it fits in with the other schedualed events, I would like to Give this a shot with my Ride.

FI with Mods.

Hope to have HP tuner by then.

I can do it on any 02 but not the rest.  That requires flashing a new tune.

TCC lockup can be turned on or off through VCM scanner and it's not VIN specific, so I can do that on any vehicle.

[BooTheRedneck]

Did someone mention dyno with a side order of liver and onions?

Surely, no one thinks I wouldn't want to go.  I just want to be a spectator though.

Whatever!!

I was gonna just say Big Dog, but why not have twice the fun.  If I haveta choose one, I say BIG DOG (Pitbull Style). 

I commin' for ya KY.

Boo.

[trannyman]

Did someone mention Dino with a side order of liver and onions?

I should have HPTuners by then too. I'll be licensed for multiple years so I can help with that as well.

this event makes me wanna go...im still gonna be a last min decider

Nationals aren't that far if can make an overnight trip.  I'm sure you could bunk with someone so that you can do this.

[Loggie]

Bob,

Looks like you're going to be giving a lesson in HP Tuners while you're there

Added new competitors!



FYI: To everyone talking about putting stock tires on to make more power... In the world of Dyno's and real street vehicles that is considering a Wusses way of cheating the game.  Unless its a drag car/truck, you run your set up just as you would on the street...

There is a special name for that type of vehicle when people do that, Dyno Queen and trust me you don't want that kind of reputation!!!

It's a good thing I'm running stock now Hey Bob, you still want those OEMs...ya Queen

[KY_BOB]

Watch this "queen" spin way over 400rwhp. 



I have the use of 2 stock wheels and tires if I want to use them (thanks Quarter).  I may leave my everyday tires on it.  I'll figure it out between now and then.

So I guess I'll have to add a new fuel pump and a bigger nozzle before then

  ya bro   This is going to be fun

[KY_BOB]

ya bro   This is going to be fun

Yes, it is! 



I want to see more stock and mildly modded trucks in this.  Speaking of that, does a custom tune or handheld programmer knock a truck out of the "stock" class?  If so, that will effect a lot of people.

[BigBlackAv]

I'm in....i'll fill out my mod list when i get my truck back (it has been soooo long)

I would think yes.  But it would be nice to see the same truck with and without the tune.  Then we would have good evidence how much extra HP you get from one of those things.  I'd be willing to donate $50 toward it.  Any takers

[sssMOkinAV]

I'm in....i'll fill out my mod list when i get my truck back (it has been soooo long)

does that mean youre actually going to ATTEND Nationals IN YOUR TRUCK maybe I should come down and we can trailer it up to the GTG...that way you can break it on the dyno and not on the way there LOL hehehehe

[BigBlackAv]

oh thats rich...you should take that show on the road...your a laugh a minute...wait a tic, aren't you driving a toyota today

[sssMOkinAV]

oh thats rich...you should take that show on the road...your a laugh a minute...wait a tic, aren't you driving a toyota today

yup, and my Toyota runs perfect....ans so does MY Av. 


wait another tic, are you making fun of the vehicle that WAS going to take you to pick up your broken down Av?  Thats gonna be a long walk for you to go get it now.

[ChevyGuyNC]

P.S. A dyno Queen is a Dyno Queen. Period. No matter how much power it makes.   Hhmmmm I may have to have extra special stickers or something for the Dyno Queens!

I will be turning my 35's on that thing.

As for weight I know at the strip the lighter you are; better time (usualy)
On the dino dose weight matter (over 8K)

[bonesaw]

I'll sign up for stock+ if I'm the only one competing

[Lord Aries]

On the dino dose weight matter (over 8K)

Weight is not an issue on the Dyno because you are not moving that weight, you are only spinning the rollers... In Fact weight helps keep the tires from breaking loose on the Rollers!

[KY_BOB]

I will be turning my 35's on that thing.

What Aries said but to add to that, rotating weight is what hurts your dyno numbers.  It soaks up more power to spin heavier tires/wheels.

This is true, I lost exactly 15hp with i put my 33x13.50's the truck... But, I dynoed it with them on because thats how she is runs on the street... My baby AIN'T no Dyno Queen. 

[Lord Aries]

BUMP: Lets go people, get signed up for this fun event!

[Loggie]

I'll put 1/2 the cost for someone new to sign up

[MoAv]

It would be interesting to see what a stock truck has for HP.  Hmmmm....I was planning on a tune before then, but I may wait and do that before/after idea to see if it really makes a difference.

Ok, add me to the stock class...pm enroute

You DO know there is a dragstrip less than 30 miles from where we are . I'm a definate yes, but I'm not quite sure of what my specs will be right now. Once I work out all the details with whatever engine I am putting in, I will send the specs.

[FlaBouy]

I'll put 1/2 the cost for someone new to sign up

Deal... This dyno queen is in.... 

[Lord Aries]

Trannyman, I hope we can get some track time in at this GTG!!!!

Flabouy, are you for real? Don't tease us...

[FlaBouy]

Flabouy, are you for real? Don't tease us...

Now what makes you think I would do that.... 

Plus, you guys know I never pass up a chance to put the queen on a dyno...   

BTW, I will be running what I brung... 305/50/20's saw 500rwhp once before....

Since my boy was gracious enough to step up and honor his words, I will salute him by paying it forward....

Who's next? 


BTW, I can tune all 2004 Av's and vette's.... 

[KY_BOB]

I would like to see a stock or mild 6.0 to see how it compares to a similar 5.3.  Bandit?

I can't wait to see how this all turns out

[Waz]

I would like to see a stock or mild 6.0 to see how it compares to a similar 5.3. Bandit?

I'll ask (again) if my brother wants to put his on the dyno.
2008 6.0L with a couple of tweaks to the tune.

Unless something changes, my AV is staying home.


Rick and Bob, I'm really looking forward to meeting both of you.

[FlaBouy]

2004's? 

Yes all 2004 Av's and vette's...last vette I had my hands on, the owner was pissed because a 6000# 4wd stayed side by side with him off the line... Just couldn't stay up with that 180 mph top end...

 


Plus, I need to teach you the proper air pressure in that right front tire....

[Lord Aries]

AWESOME Guys! Lets keep em coming!!!!! Worse case if we can atleast get at least 10-15trucks I should be able to rework the deal for the dyno for one day... One way or another I work my hardest to get it there for the GTG. 



P.S. Flabouy, I am putting you in the Boost Crazy class for now (can change that later), unless you have NOS? Then I will put you in the Big Dogs class.

[FlaBouy]

unless you have NOS? Then I will put you in the Big Dogs class.

NAW, I don't like to cheat....

Boost Crazy fits my warped perspective right nicely...

There's no such thing as cheating when it comes to horsepower.  Our old saying when we were playing on the street was:

"Run what you brung and hope you brung enuff".

Actually, that would make a pretty good slogan for this event.

Am I the only Bottle

[BlueDevil]

Ahhh i missed read it.  Can i be moved to "Boost Crazy"? I have no NOS for "BigDogs".

[Loggie]

I'm sure we will figure it out once we're there












...so I'm willing to put up another 1/2 for the next person to setup to the plate

[Hugz]

LA Does each pass count towards the total??  Or are you still needing at least 20??

I'm sure we will figure it out once we're there

...so I'm willing to put up another 1/2 for the next person to setup to the plate

Someone needs to take Loggie up on his OFFER..!!!!!!!

[ChevyGuyNC]

Okay, finally got my Av, so I'm in. 

I'll have a CAI for sure by that time, not sure of anything else, so I'll say Stock for now. 

PM Sent.

Hugz, No we are going on Truck count. I talked to Livernois yesterday and they are willing to come out even if only for a day to do about 10-15 trucks.

Thank you

[FlaBouy]

BOOM!!!!

Because of this statement, "The rule sof the event are simple in that everyone will run the same. Period. If someone doesn't like the rules then they don't have to play..." I hereby withdraw my entry....


Loggie, you can pay half of the next man's fee.... 

[Lord Aries]

I guess my truck had a magic stock DS when i made my 6 pulls with it in 3rd gear to 130+mph...

I can't view the vids at work but, where these all Silverados in them? They have either a two piece DS OR one that is quite a bit longer then ours and the length of the DS can make a world of diffirence in the strength of the it...


But fine either way, if everyone is scared based on the vids then we will run in 2nd gear for the 4L60's and 4L80's and I'll have to use my closest gear in my 6spd to keep it fair.

[KY_BOB]

I watched both vids but I don't have sound here.  I want to see the "boom" one at home with sound. 

[BigBlackAv]

Now before any of you get worried that this might happen to you, keep breathing. It probably won’t, and I’ll tell you why. Most of you don’t have 72” aluminum driveshafts.

Take a foot or 12” off (going down to 60”), you end up with a critical speed of 8935 RPM’s, which of course is not a problem. For those with 4WD, transfer cases use shorter shafts

that last quote sounds like the 4 of us (w/ 4wd), mine is even shorter w/ the 4L80E....thanks for links FB!

looks like not a lot to worry about...FWIW I have only been on 2 dynos, but have always done my pulls in 3rd (which makes the most sense to me).

I'm pulling in whatever gear everyone else is pulling in.

[SRFNSNO]

I just want to get some real #'s on my Ride.
After all the work on the ride; what do I actually have.

Really don't care about competition! Unless I win I guess.

[BigBlackAv]

Opps...5 of us.

LA, maybe you should list who is 4wd and has a faster spinning driveshaft.

[Lord Aries]

[Chopped_Burban]

I'll come out and play. Hopefully someone runs a stock AV. I'm curious to see what my torque curve looks like compared to stock more than anything else. It's the towing thing ya know.

[FlaBouy]

BTW, for those curious about what a stock 04 usually dyno's... Blue lines are stock...

[Chopped_Burban]

FlaBouy,

Thanks for the links on shafts and for the stock Dyno pic. Too bad it sounds like you're not going to be out playing that day.

Good news:

I've sent a PM to TrAVelingman, telling him to sign me up for the Nationals, I want to be there for the shootout at the Pigeon Forge corral!!!

Aries, please add him to the "Free Breathers" list.

[SRFNSNO]

OK a little off track but!
This will be on Fri and I am assuming that the off roading will be early in the week. I am guessing the AV's must be cleaned.

Also a good inspection of drive line! I have fractured u-joints slapping them on rocks before.

Also I guess I should really get under and inspect my Shaft as is I know it has been slid over some rocks

and is there a parts store near buy (or dealer)?

[Sunburst05]

Volunteer Chevrolet is near the hotel,  3-4 miles at best.

[sssMOkinAV]

uh huh...wouldn't yoooou like to know.

been there, done that..had it in my hands and if I remember correctly Im the one that TOLD you it was too short

[BigBlackAv]

been there, done that..had it in my hands and if I remember correctly Im the one that TOLD you it was too short

Yes, you should inspect your drive shaft to make sure it is undamaged from any offroad adventures. Especially if you are getting a vibration over about 60mph and you know your tires are balanced.

As for cleaning, you don't want to be slinging mud everywere on the dyno or on everyone standing around thats for sure! I don't think Livernois wants to be cleaning mud out of the rollers either. 

[Chopped_Burban]

Can we sling mud at one another the day we do go off-roading? Cause me personally, ya, well, I do want to sling mud at people. It's fun

Should be a go! The price will be changed if the sponsors are willing to fund more of it. We'll know that by end of February with any luck.

[KY_BOB]

Aries, are you going to call me a dyno queen if I show up with my regular wheels and tires but the rears are worn down slick?

(that's one way to lighten the rotating mass.) 




OK, this was really a shameless bump to keep people interested.

Actualy your tires need to be with in Legal tread limits for saftey reasons on the dyno...

But yes, I will call your truck a Dyno Queen if you don't run with your AT's...

really?...why?...does that mean a race car can't be put on a dyno?

[DougD]

I'm thinking of putting some incredibly thin oil in, a really loose water pump, dropping the AC belt and giving it a whirl   That's 1.2 extra hp there!

I've seen more than one street racer pull their alternator and power steering belts off just to race and then put them back on before driving back to town.

[Loggie]

I'm going to run racing fuel

[KY_BOB]

I'm going to run racing fuel

It'll cost you a couple of hp unless you jack your timing up a little.  Give it a couple of degrees and you'll gain a little. 


I may run a different brew in the meth injection.

It ain't the number of years, it's how you put them to use

If your street tires are worn below the legal tread they unsafe to be on the road, let alone a dyno! Common sense dude... oh wait...

[SRFNSNO]

I assume we will get print outs of our runs?

As for tire; I will have at least 2 good tire's for the rear!

Judging by Hugz most recent line of questioning.... I 'd say that the schedule is getting closer and closer.

[Lord Aries]

Yes, i am pretty sure this will be on that Friday... Once it gets closer and you guys have all prepaid (as mentioned in the first post) i will set up the time of day your runs will take place.

[SRFNSNO]

Cool: there is a lot going on and I do not want to double book for any event.

Also some time between to relax would be good to

[BigBlackAv]

If your street tires are worn below the legal tread they unsafe to be on the road, let alone a dyno! Common sense dude... oh wait...

Oh, your talking about WET roads, or maybe a WET dyno.  I didn't realize it would be raining on that day

[Loggie]

will folks be able to sign up when the event is starting

You mean last minute sign ups? SURE! As long as there is time to fit them in I don't see why not...


When I do up the plan and your time to be on the Dyno you will be expected there a few minutes early. More then likley you will have about a 1.5 hour window to be at the event:

- 30 Minutes for Tech Inspection
- 15 Minutes for tie down to the Dyno
- 45 Minutes for the actualy Dyno Runs

You will not have to stay after the you make your runs if you don't want too... Winners will be announced at the dinner with eveything else.

[SRFNSNO]

There is a dinner?

[Loggie]

  sounds good LA sounds good

Re-read the entire thread to find the sequence... I *think* I'm in at half price, with FlaBouy paying half...  If he doesn't participate, I have no problem paying full price. 

Either way I'm in!

OK no problem, kind of figured having the 6.0L wouldn't be fair in the stock+ anyway.

We have a little time. I know I can at least get PE dialed in a bit more realistically.
(Not pig rich like stock.)
Then there's always timing and torque management for us to work on.

[Chopped_Burban]

Reading this last page, sounds like I need some computer tuning 

Also, what all do people normally do with 45 minutes on the Dyno. Not trying to be a smart ass. Serious question.

Cool down time between runs... nd If i can keep the time at 45 minutes we should be able to let everyone make Three runs instead of Two!!!!

I noticed that you don't have trannyman on the list.  Didn't he sign up?


When do you want the money?  I can paypal it or mail you a check at any time.


edit:  Oh yea, any update on the price of running a second class?  If it's going to be half price or so, sign me up for Boost Crazy also.  I'll run it without the spray.

The money will be due once we have a firgure on how much the event  we can get the sponsors to cover... I think 1/2 price to run in a second class is a fair price... We'll go with that for now.

[Chopped_Burban]

I figure a Magna Charger could be done because the PCM flash is done with a handheld tuner. A Kenne Bell requires the PCM to be sent to them, flashed and mailed back so I think that would be out. Not sure about a Whipple. Basically those are the three I have it narrowed down to right now. Anyway, I guess we'll see what happens. Not totally sure I want to throw a supercharger on the truck right before heading back to Iraq....

UPDATE: Pricing and such...

OK everyone, as I originally stated this event pricing is based on if we got sponsors to help pay for it. Well that’s not going to happen so, I am going to try my damnedest to talk them down further with my charming ways on the cost of the Dyno. I am hoping I can get them down a lot more since we should only need it for one day…

I’ll update again as soon as I know more…

UPDATE: Bad News

Due to lack of budgeting of sponsor funds, overall cost of this activity and not enough people signed up for it we will be unable to have the Portable Dyno at the GTG. I have done everything I can working with Livernois to make this happen but, there is just no way to get the cost down any lower. They have worked out a huge discount for us but, due to the above reasons it still isn’t enough.

I know you guys were really looking forward to this and Livernois has said that the dyno is still open to us for future GTG’s should be able to afford to do it.

Thanks

[Lord Aries]

Update: Maybe we are still a go?!?!?!


OK guys, how would you all feel about making a 40 mile drive to Knoxville to run on a local Dyno? I've made contact with a shop there that is willing to work with us. I just need to talk to the boss there to work out a block of time for us and a group rate... THey sounded very interested in having us there and there Dyno is big enough to take the AV's...

Let me know!

[Hugz]

GOO DEAL..   

[Old No.7 Avalanche]

HMMMMNN!!! Ears are perking up Heck! I'm driving all the way there from N.Y.C. so an extra 40 someodd miles ain't gonna matter,So keep me posted

[Spork_Driver]

Oh crap, he is still going to be able to brake my truck 




Oh wait, does anyone know if there is a White Castle in Knoxville ? 

[KY_BOB]

I'm interested.  Let us know more as you find out.

Oh wait, does anyone know if there is a White Castle in Knoxville ? 

no white castle but i bet there are adult entertainment venues...hmmmm i might have to join this dyno thing...

[Lord Aries]

OK guys here is the new deal…

Air Cooled Classics in Knoxville will give us EIGHT HOURS of unlimited access to their Dyno for $1,200.00!!!! They said they can handle up to 14 trucks three times in that time frame, they have done this before. This would still take place on Friday as originally planned, even though it won’t be on site were everyone can watch it will still be a lot of fun!!!! I will have a video camera and stills camera with me.

So, what I need is a real Commitment from who ever wants to do this so that I can split the cost up equally. As long as we have 12 trucks still going it will still be $100.00. I will handle the bulk payment end of it so, you can use paypal or a personal check to pay me and I’ll work everything out. This has to be paid in full, in advance and soon!


PLEASE let me know via PM if you are ready to commit by March 28th. Payment will be needed by April 11th…

 

Their address of Air Cooled Classics is :
10402 Lexington Dr

[Chopped_Burban]

I'm back in !!!!

I couldn't find a White Castle nearby, but they do have two Hooters locations.... one of which is only 6.84 miles away 

[Spork_Driver]

 




Ok, Hooters instead of WC.  WE can still do a slider run can't we?

The drive to Knoxville is an easy 40 mile drive.  Especially when you get out of Sevierville and up to I-40.  Shouldn't be bad for those that are going.  You might even get a few to go watch.  

If you want sliders, you might look for a Cheesecake Factory in Knoxville. 

[Loggie]

If we have the #s I'm still in.

OK guys here is the new deal…

Air Cooled Classics in Knoxville will give us EIGHT HOURS of unlimited access to their Dyno for $1,200.00!!!! They said they can handle up to 14 trucks three times in that time frame, they have done this before. This would still take place on Friday as originally planned, even though it won’t be on site were everyone can watch it will still be a lot of fun!!!! I will have a video camera and stills camera with me.

So, what I need is a real Commitment from who ever wants to do this so that I can split the cost up equally. As long as we have 12 trucks still going it will still be $100.00. I will handle the bulk payment end of it so, you can use paypal or a personal check to pay me and I’ll work everything out. This has to be paid in full, in advance and soon!


PLEASE let me know via PM if you are ready to commit by March 28th. Payment will be needed by April 11th…

 

Their address of Air Cooled Classics is :

[Lord Aries]

SRFNSNO
KY_Bob
Loggie
Old No.7
Wazbro

Now here is something i just found out, even if we don't get 12 trucks we can still go. I just have not worked out a price, should actualy be about the same I think because we will pay by the Truck per hour. So, I will call again today and see if we can at least reserve the date and pay individualy when we get there...

No problem.  Remember, I belong to the "He Mods It; I Drive It" Nation.  As long as it looks beefy, I don't care what he puts in it.  (I'm really going to pay for that one.)

[Loggie]

Nice work LA....can't wait

Who's next

[SRFNSNO]

I cant Wait to See How all the Mods On the Ride Add up on the Dyno.

[Loggie]

I cant Wait to See How all the Mods On the Ride Add up on the Dyno.

three runs three different setups....

First without the bottle
Second with the bottle
Third making any adjustments

and for $80 I might run twice

[SRFNSNO]

Sweet Idea Loggie: if the List dose not start filling up and time permits @ $80 and 2 runs for $160 

I am planing to have HP by them, And am hoping some HP Wizards will be at the Runs To Help Me with Possibly Tweeking some more Ponies out of My Ride.
