Josh lets not forget about the people that show up and not post that do run. Looking forward to meeting some new faces..........wonder how many Ferds are going to be there, I also have been trying to find out if Kennedy is showing with some Maxes, but have not heard back from him. Later Jim.

Whats the address to hiTech Motorsport? I found their website, but I'm not sure that it is the correct address. A buddy of mine might be coming up from Illinois and he wants to get some driving directions from Yahoo or mapquest.

Thanks

Why do you have to take off the outer tire on duallys? If it is a Dynojet then you will be fine. I used to run my duallys on Dynojet dynos all of the time. The outer tire will have about 1 inch of tire on each drum. It doesn't hurt a thing. Just curious what the big deal was.

Take Hwy 10 to Sunfish Lake BLVD. Go north, after you cross the railroad tracks, take your first right. Go down to almost the end of the street, you will see Airgas, take a left, they are in the first building on the right.

They have a width issue with their lift rack that hoists the truck onto the above ground dyno.
They also have the end shield on the roller which cuts a nasty groove in the training wheel.

From Illinois..... Wow I can't say I've given directions from there before....

Take I90 out of Chicagoland (guessing he's comming from there?) up into Wisconsin. Along the way 94 will join...as I recall right around Madison. At Tomah, follow 94 all the way up to MN. When he crosses the border have him watch for 694 North. Follow that to HWY 10 (white sign!) Take that till you hit Sunfish lake BLVD, take a right, over the tracks, first right, follow that down to Radium, take a left, it's the building right after Airgas on the right.

We have to take the outsides off like John said due to the guard for the Drum mostly. I think you can back a dually on, but that guard can be an issue. The dyno they have the outside dual wouldn't even be on the roller.

Well, we got started today. I met Tim At Mike's when he got his timing bumped and a couple runs on the dyno..
Nice solid horsepower and torque from that truck.
He put down a 325 hp and 727 ft-lb run after the timing.

Mike suggested sliding the plate to get a little more out of it. Mike & Scott guessed there is another 50 hp to squeeze out.

Tim is wishing he bought the next bigger clutch... Amusing to watch when someone goes down the slippery BOMBing slope

I was late for play practice.

Josh,
Go to this place for the ultimate in maps
http://earth.google.com/

you have to download the free version. The area where this event is in the very high resolution and you can see trucks in the parking lot!! Just type inthe full address and it will take you there. you can zoom in and out as well as lay it over so you view from an angle. So cool. It is perocially updated too.
I found the place easily. Not far from me son"s house

This does take a lot of computer but you will find out in the down load. You can print this too. I did it with a screen shot too.

see y'all tomorrow

Well I had a blast, despite some things. Thanks again Josh for the good time. Truck does feel a little different but I do like my 1092 for torque, I think getting turbos done will make for some cooler numbers. Wonder how far away another 100 ponies are............hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Thanks again Jim.

I don't see a "Josh" on the list.
Thought you wanted to find out if those delivery valves made any hp & torque changes?

I see the Fords held up well against the Chevies unlike the first year.
