Any folks from raleigh, NC and surrounding areas going up??

Myself and a buddy are thinking abou making the trip..

also will this Dyno be able to get TQ numbers on 1st Gen's...
last time I ran a dyno they could not get a reading off any 1st gen's..

and without that it may not be worth $75 for me..

Yes Sir,,,,,
HP and TQ numbers plus the folks with the DRW trucks can run without having to pull the outside tires like they do at a lot of indoor shops.

Yup I was there...

I had the lowest numbers for the day..but it did give me a great baseline to work from..

If I make it I am gonna run the dyno I want to see if the little changes I did have given me any improvements..

I never went anywhere,,,,,, just training on a new job at work has cut down on my puter time for the last five weeks and I'm using an old kick-start PC at home after the OS on my Dell took a dump.

It looks like I will be off Friday and I'll probably miss work Saturday due to an eye problem,,,,,,, (I just can't see going to work when I can be at a diesel event!)

Yeah, I've already told them here I'm going to call in WELL that day.
To do otherwise would be fibbing right?

Unhappy

Guys,

You have me included in this one, as much as I would love to come----I cannot.

My Mom who was 56 passed away very unexpectedly on April 17th, my father is still reeling from the pain of a broken heart, lonelyness, etc. They would have been married 40 years this aAugust 5th. I will be with him in Ct. I will be looking for smoke clouds as I head north on 95 on Sat.

Sorry to hear about your dad Phil . Thats a long time that they were together, and it must really hurt him, and all of your family, to have lost someone so close so quickly.

It has been terrible at best, she was really health, not overweight by much more than is normal, ate all of this good for you food that tasted like, and took good care of herself.

I've got 2 55gal plastic drums I'll bring for the trash cans. I'm also going to donate a Dipricol 100psi boost gauge for the auction. I'll bring 1 for a 3rd gen and 1 for a 2nd gen so the winner can pick the one that matches their truck.

If that is anything else that you need please let me know. Papa Smurf, Mrs Smurf, John P and myself will be coming up together on friday to help get everything set up.
