Hated to leave early (again) but a good time meeting old and new contacts. It was good to have just the diesel heads there with some wrenching in the parking lots.. Thats more like it!. Dave did a bang up job setting up the event and was well done.

If we want to make it a more formal event, I was thinking T-shirts for our chapter group with our user name on it? Dunno. Then having a standard stack of sheets for everyone to sign up on for the Dyno operator to fill out the specs and numbers for each unit. Just a thought.

Sorry Tater, I had to run. Oh and Thanks Fred for making me look like a pansy with the tranny jack!... That audio system rocks!...

Those numbers look pretty impressive. I think some Hot-braking is required for those with larger single turbos to really get a good number and curve.

I'm mixing up user names to real names to faces to trucks already since Saturday, so I'm now thinking that the name tag idea is a good one.
Plus it's so easy to implement.

I notice that some folks have their real 1st name in their signature. This really helps, or finishing every post with your 1st name as I have the habit of doing.

Perhaps a list of usernames with corresponding real names?

ie.. Stealthdiesel = Joe. etc, etc..

multi gear pull

Here is a link to a 3-4-5 gear pull. Martin said there'd be too many spikes made if he tried to graph it so he didn't.

and another doing the poor mans data auisition. Hard to read sideways...First time I ever made a video.... I gues it can't be straightened anyway, can it?
