Hey Dave, it is Mike, the one with the silver dodge that did not get a reading. Did you get a chance to call Dyno jet and see what the problem may have possibly been? I talked to Scott at Mass Diesel and he said that maybe my aftermarket radio had something to do with it. I had switched to a new radio since the last time i was on the dyno. Thanks

Mike, I have not yet called Dyno Jet. Been busy getting the results done and a host of other things with my 1st day back.

I will try to call them tomorrow. Was it a stereo radio or another. (CB/HAM).

That was the weirdest thing I have ever seen though... Stay tuned...

Sorry we couldn't get it done... I really felt bad.

It was just a regular radio, an Alpine deck, not a cb or ham radio. I will stay tuned to see if you find out any information, thanks again

Hey Dave,
Thanks for taking the trip all the way up from GA. I'll be there again next year if they hold the event again.

I had the Blue and Silver 94 towards the end of saturday. You know, the guy who was only expecting a little over 200 hp. LOL...I guess you shoudla let up a little. Haha.


Thanks again,
Travis

Thanks Travis, we enjoyed the time up there. I've known Chip for some years and I am glad we were able to do the event for him.

(I'll try to get closer to your expected HP next time)

I'm expecting twins this summer, so you'll have to try a little harder. Haha. Do you have a tuning shop in GA or do you just travel around with the dyno making people smile (or cry)? Anyway, thanks again.

Dave, This is Doug, the gray 2001 with low boost psi. LOL, it seems I was not the only one with issues this weekend.

I replaced the missing turnbuckle and boost is back where it should be. There is another dyno day sheduled locally on May 20. Hopefully I'll see better numbers.


Hey Mike, sorry I missed you Saturday. Could only make it on Sunday.

You heading down to Dez's on the 20th?

Yeah that was me. I should have checked the turnbuckle prior to running the rollers.

Funny thing is, that turnbuckle was on there for over 1 year. Oh well.

I don't know about David, but I asked Jeff how many times he's going back up there every year. He said "never", in my lifetime. That trip will never be made by me again..(quote)That's to far for his plump tail. And I'm being nice. That's a long haul.

Man Preston, it was a long ride but Jeff says "we'll be back next year if Chip asks for us". The long ride was long, but we both got to see stuff you just don't see unless you get out of the south.
