The Texas Roadhouse is kinda on the way to Emory.

Also, the offer to camp at The Ranch is still open for Friday and Saturday nights. Be sure to bring your warmies.

Oh Yea.........Robert, is this OK with you?

That is certainly fine by me. I thought the idea of coming to my house was scrapped and we were going to Sedalia? I honestly don't care either way.

Didn't know anything about Emory? Is Tyler going to dyno after getting his truck back? and, if so...wouldn't it be shorter to just go to HPP in Lewisville?

I think they have more baseline data from Emory.

Exactly. I checked with HPP and they get $75 for 3 pulls. I had considered it, but I really want to get another set of numbers from Emory since my last set was there and I'll be able to compare the before and after with the new turbo.

Am I going to dyno? That's gotta be the dumbest question ever. Heck yes I'm gonna dyno. I wanna see what this baby's got under the hood. I'm picking the truck up on wednesday from james and then driving back up there on friday for the meet. Not to mention that I really enjoyed dynoing on Jim's dyno cause one I liked the way you had to do it and two because he gives you half an hour to do as many runs as possible which allows me to play with some different combinations.

Hey brandon, eric told me about this one time in the maroon truck....

You get first alternate! They only had room/time for three.... right now it's Tyler, Justin & myself. If Justin is still out of town.... your in!

Actually it's still tentative. Jim Jones (owner) is working the fire station that weekend. He had to check to be sure his son would be there on Sat morning? Assume he will because Jim said they were booked solid... but waiting for a confirmation callback!

Sweet.

Rowland are you bringing that amsoil pump thing so we can change my tranny fluid before the dyno? I'm sure James will mention it to me but what tranny fluid do you run in yours? I might have to order some and get it in before I go. I'm going to take very good of this tranny cause it's got to last a VERY long time under VERY grueling, i.e. my right foot, conditions.

I only paid $50 for 3 pulls when I had to go back to Lewisville to REVERIFY my true numbers because I got FALSE (inflated) ones at Emory on April 1st. I don't trust the Mustangs after wasting my money there. My Dynojet HPP hp number was within 3 hp of a year earlier.

So are ya'll going to go to Emory Saturday morning and then come back to Roadhouse in McKinney (at least an hour away) by 11:30??????????????????????????????

Probably.

FWIW, when I dynoed at jim's last time my numbers came out to about what I was expecting them to be so I'm not to worried. I've got an idea on where mine should be with this combo and if the numbers I get from Jim are within that ball park then cool, if they are higher I will post those, if they are lower I will whine and complain that my new tranny cost me HP. I think we paid $60 last time for 30 mins.

I ain't had time to call and tell him that my parents set my flight up out of love instead of DFW like he told me to cause I didn't find out that that's what they did until 10 last night. I'm gonna have to take this guy out for a steak dinner after everything he's doing for me.
