72?  At the WHEELS?  I hope Pete can manage that, because I know I sure won't...  But anyway, for those cars, shouldn't the lowest dyno reading win?

By the way, does Evil Genius Racing happen to have Weber DGV jets on hand?  Looking at my spark plugs says my fuel/ air mixture is close enough, but I have a feeling the dyno analysis might make me want to change a few things.

I don't see the filthy being ready to ride the rollers in time for Saturday.

I'll still be there to take in the festivities, however.

OK, so the weather report is now saying cloudy and mid sixties for a temp, NO RAIN!

    Bring your rain gear just in case...

I've got a bunch of leftover SU parts that would be the obvious choice. Small cracks, nothing 5-6 tubes of JB Weld can't fix.

We'll see you there your honor..    The weather looks good!   Tri-tip is marinating, barbecues are ready, coolers are stocked, the dyno is patiently awaiting its first victim...      I hope a few people show up


   REMEMBER:  Please drive carefully in West Sacramento, the po-po are watching and I would like to keep my good relationship with them intact...

w00t! 

I'll be stopping by after wrenching on our Lemon to represent Boxwrench Garage (#916 Saab).   Unfortunately we don't have a tow vehicle or trailer, so no dyno for us.   But according to the forums we're putting down at least 500WHP due to the stickers we've added so no need to dyno smile

The Momentarly Laps Racing Team will be there in force, but sans Lemons cars.  We'll have two miatas to dyno - one should pull 120, the other 275... smile

See you in the AM!

Re: Dyno, Tech, Tune Day/Lemons Pre-Pointless Party. Feb 13th

not to worry.....I already prepped the dyno with plenty of oil spilled all over it when I changed the oil in the "estate" while it was on the dyno..... 

Just make sure you have LOTS of kitty litter and fire extingushers on hand....since I also managed to set the estate on fire on the dyno once too....  :>) 

Glowing orange exhaust manifolds + old rubber hoses = lots of fun running around the dyno!!
