    Is tha twhat you ARE gong to bring or want to wait until the day of the meet and see what will be needed still? Make sure the hookers are thin sliced, will need them to pose on the cars and dont want to dent anything.

    excuse my ignorance but what is the process for putting the car on the dyno? do you rev to redline in 1st or run through all gears? would I need to remember my gear ratios etc.?

    If I can get the day off work I'll be there. I would like to get the car on the dyno to, maybe I can finally get some info to help me get it tuned.
    I got some situations going on that may still be issues around that time but if they don't prevent me from being there then I will.

    Hope you can make it David. I cant put you down on the reserved list for the dyno unless you are positive you will come. but Im sure we wil have time for more, just want to make sure we have atleast enough for sure guys to cover the cost.

    the car is backed up on to the roller.. strapped down.. the WOT pull is made in what ever gear you have that is 1:1 ratio.. only in that gear... you don't make a WOT pull thru all the gears..

    safano; thanks that makes sense.

    Ryan; if the date is set I'll request it, I just don't want to request it off than have the date change on me.
