First event of the new year with a group I'm in. $40 for 3 pulls, we've gone there numerous times in the past with no problems Superior Auto in Anaheim. They always have cool toys to look at as well. http://www.virtualdodge.com/vdforum/showthread.php?t=9080

According to what I read, they have troubles with Diesels is this true?

Asside from that, its too soon for me to plan for my self. :( Sounds good though, I am glad things are happening around even with the economy taking a dive.

Sweet. Pretty sure I can make that.

Iv had my 05 done by these guys and they didnt seem to have any trouble with it at all.
And Ill second the cool toys to look at.:D

Diesel World did an article in their current issue (Feb. 09) on a 7.3l and used Superior Automotive. It looks like they have a Dynojet and they're getting TQ numbers too. $40 for three pulls is the best price I've ever heard of. Count me in.

Me too, if I have my truck back together by then.........I'm working on it-some major mods.

Who is behind the wheel of a persons' truck?? Who's running the dyno now anyway??

I've been there yrs. ago with my car and personally 'they' ran it way too high on the r's and kept it there too long. I have since been elsewhere when I could still use the dyno, now it seems that there's hardly any dyno's left around here.

I've heard some horror stories from that shop, exspensive ones.........but not any lately.........

Crap...first day of class, can't miss it. I wonder if I could go first and still make it to school by 9:30???

9:30 at night?

Nope...AM

The other thread says they open at 8am and will start dyno runs at 8:30. If I was the first one, and just took a couple quick pulls...I figure I could be out of there by 8:45, leaving me 45 minutes for a 30 mile drive to school.

I'll help ya with the setting up and taking off the dyno, so you can make it....

Sounds good :D

I guess I'll just show up and hope to run, if not I might get to see one or two pulls before I have to leave.

See you guys there.

sounds like fun. maybe ill make the drive. superior are great guys too. see you all there! any way to get on the list to dyno with out making another account over there to post?

I plan on just getting there early and paying to get on the list. It's usually first come first serve at these events. The roster is more to get a head count.

JohnX, I'm sure if you ask nicely, the others might just put you up front, lol! Woodchuck is right, the list is just a head count, there's no order of who goes first. Seriously, I'm sure nobody's gonna mind at all, this is a great group of folks. Besides, I got me a new digi cam that I'm gonna break in on this event.......... I'm still hoping on bringing a little something extra to the event to get a base line on that we just got running, needs to be dialed in, etc etc............. It ain't diesel, but it's got a big block, and it ain't my other car sadly..........

Well, I'm out. Just started a new job. Two Jobs and school just doesn'tleave time for dynos. You guys have fun.

I just confirmed 2 muscle cars to come, a father and son duo. Dad has a 1965 Olds Cutlass with a built 425 big block Olds and son has a 1966 Olds 442 also with a 425, the 442 was my first car. Here's the '65 http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c329/olznut/Spence%2065/sparky5.jpg and the '66 http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c329/olznut/Olds%20Stuff/442.jpg I will be towing the '65 down because it has no mufflers, just open headers, this will be the first time on a dyno with it.

Is this event mosly for gassers? From the looks of the other site most of the trucks there are 1500s. That is a long way to drive to watch a bunch of itty bitty trucks with no soot!!!! If you know what I mean???

It'll be a nice mix. And you're only 30 miles north of me so what's an extra 4 gallons of fuel? [laugh] We always have a good time when we get together, it ain't all bout the trucks you know.[coffee]

I think we ought to go and show 'em what we got just to humble 'em.

BigHorn 06 and Woodchuck, you both have good points. I guess I will have to make sure I get up early and be there. Oh, I suppose i should wash my truck too. Looking pretty shabby after all the snow and mud we had up here around Christmas time.
[laugh]

What kind of dyno is it? I think i may be able to make it. I would love to run my truck again!!!

I just went back thru and re read this. Did I read that right is it going to be mostly gassers?

:cool:Well not if we get enough diesels to go!:cool:

If I get my truck back together by Sat., I'll be there.

well looks like im a no show, someone frauded my atm/debit card and i had to cancell my cards and now have to open a new account. so i have 40 bucks till tuesday :( i might come by for a few minits but i have a chance to work too!

I'm heading down now with a car in tow. The other one backed out last night kinda as expected.............

So how was it, any good numbers???

The ding dang Olds broke before we even got off the trailer so no dyno for it!![verymad] First time dynoing with mods. I'm VERY happy with what I got. The truck sticks me in the seat good, but I didn't think it was that good!! 456 HP and 812 TQ[guitar]. It was real cool hanging out with fellow gearheads! I got vids of alot of folks, just gotta figure out how to work with this new camera. I had my attention diverted most of the time, he had a beautiful '66 Olds 442 there that I took alot of pics of for reference to build mine. Thanks for coming on down folks!

It was a great event overall but I felt a little sorry for the gassers. We have it a lot easier when it comes to making big power. Superior knows what they're doing in regards to dynoing diesels and they have a lot of really cool muscle cars to look at.

I start out in the morning with my favorite butt dyno tune at 485.6 HP and 938.8 TQ, not too shabby but still below my highest numbers last year at Crude Drags II with my Hot Juice.

Big Horn 06 did so good with cranking up the Smarty to 9 (REVO tune) that he inspired me to turn off the TST and crank up the Smarty to 9 (TNT) and I ended up with less power so I turned the TST back on to 4x1 and got 534.2 HP and 1007.2 TQ (very last run of the day)
Still having issues with the power delivery when I crank it up that high. It bucks a little and acts like it’s loading up then clears and goes like hell so the curve has a bit of a dip before it goes to peak.

Good day over all and it was good to meet everone. Looks like us diesel folks kind of took over as there weren't very many gassers that showed up. Had a good time even though I forgot to have him clear my codes on start up and I think that is why I came up kind of short with only 346 HP. Guess one of these days I will have to stop being so blond! [duhhh]

Glad it was a good time. I was hoping to make it but had to work.

Yo ED, I finally made it over here

My #'s were just a little bit off from the last dyno. I did 421 RWHP & 955 RWTQ. Down from 430 & 960. Looks like its time for some more mods

That's actually pretty close considering the first was a load dyno and the other is an inertia dyno.
