There were two Fords, the second one on was the highest powered was the CT tow truck. Did a smoke show before the run, and then blew up the steady bearing during the run. The guys at AFI got him setup that night with a new mid shaft with a bearing, so he wasn't stranded. Top notch outfit to do that on a Saturday night.

Next dyno will probably be sometime late next year. I've got my old Ford sold, so I can start on the Garrett twins now. Weeee!

I would also like to say thanks to CT Performance for the prizes and dinner. I thought for sure everyone was going home empty handed for the guess your HP part of it after ccmckee missed his guess by .3 of a HP! I thought my prize was very generous. Bullydog mechanix gloves, Bullydog t-shirt, bullydog touque and cash. Sweet! Off to spend a little money @ CT now....

There's cash? I thought I felt something in the shirt, but I thought it was just one of those construction paper dealies to keep the shirt nice and straight. I'll have to look now. The gloves are great. Used them today getting rid of the old 4by. Thanks for dinner.

Thanks Tate. That calulates out to about 460 bhp for me. based on 13% drive line loss. Sound about right?
