I'm in for a few pulls. I have stuff to try out, nothing too crazy Keep us posted on what you can work out. March, April, May, all works. Knowing my luck, the only day that I'll work this year, will be on what ever day we pick.

Well that's not gonna work very well for Tate - even with the duals off. Unless we bring a sawzall - for the posts, not the truck . That the heck are those posts anyway, part of the dyno or holding up the building?

I'm thinking April 24 if that works for the dyno-owner

yes it is and it looks like there's plenty of room for duallies.

Edit: "only" up to 1000 hp though!

he told me most trucks won't fit........like long beds will hit the wall before the tires reach the rollers.


but they're looking to move too at some point, their current lease won't allow them to put the dyno in the floor.

I'm cool either way. I don't have a hi powered truck, so mustang dyno will like my ride.

Still sounds like either Martin's (when we can get a hold of him, I know a few guys on p-shop have gotten a hold of him) or CCV. Either it won't handle the power or it won't handle the truck. I really wasn't all that impressed with lightspeed last fall, especially the one formula fits all trucks. But he might be a bit more accomodating for actual tuning. That shop would get filthy in a hurry though.

And Martin's dyno is a 248.

Tate, I'm curious how well that new pump of yours works with those big sticks. I would show me which way to go with my stuff.
