Not sure yet... feels strong and the power comes on a little different than the Smarty TST stack. has some drivability issues that are slowly getting worked out... Will say that I have never seen the boost gauge go from 10psi to 65+ in such a hurry though! pretty impressive!

I think RowJ posted that he will be there

DuallyDog (Matt) mentioned something about it

TexasCTD (Robert) wants to try out his new MP8 (note to self when installing MP8 harness before rail pressure harness... Ooops )

We will see what the dyno has to say, my seat-o-pants-o-meter has never been calibrated right!

Dont want to hear it!! Man that thing was a PITA to turn over!! Might need to check that alternator nut soon!! Almost need a pressure relief for your cylinders! you would turn the motor over about a tenth of a turn and let the barring tool slip and the motor would spin back 2 10ths!! Was pretty to watch!!

Planning to be there as well.

Probably not getting on the rollers, as nothing as changed since the last time I ran. One of these days, I'll have to change sometime to make my dyno numbers change.

Well wasnt plannin on missing this for nothin but now im not sure? My stock turbo on my twin setup gave out on me and unless anyone knows where i can get a good used one like asap i wont get to be there but if i do i wont get to dyno unless i get her fixed. I talked to bret with ODRA and he will be there so i might just meet him and ride with him. Anybody wanna donate a turbo or start a "donate a poor young kid in turbo need" fund? I think the only person i have met on here is buck but i can promise yall would love me( especially if ya could get me a turbo)

I was the same way it had a little play and i thought it would be ok and luckly i started noticing how thing started changing in spool up and then started making a very strange whistling noise and i happend to be pulling up to the house took off the cold pipe and noticed it had a ton of more notches and scratches on the blades than it was supposed to and i know i dont need to drive it anymore so now its a waiting game until i find another one!

Definately count me in! Looking forward to seeing everybody there and trying out the MP-8. As far as I know, Mike (XLR8R....Lazarsmith guy) will be riding there with me......if he isn't tied up on a job. He won't be dyno'ing his beast again until he gets a clutch.

Ok guys got the scoop on the dyno, it's a brand new Dynocom. The owner says it will load or inertia style, one guy told us it was within 4hp of speedtek's dyno. He also said torque readings will be calculated with out optical pick-up..Has anyone ever been on a dynocom??? sure looks nice..I'm guessing everyone wants inertia since were so used to dyno jets right???

If inertia is what they use for DYNOJETS......That is what I prefer!

For me, they have proven very consistent. I can't say the same for Mustangs.
