Yeah that was my truck. Some friends had put that on my window at work one night and I had thrown it back there and forgot about it.

I hope there is another get together soon so I can actually meet and talk to some people.
Thanks, you have a nice looking truck as well. I have the fuel screw in about 1-1.5 turns, but that's about it. This was my first time on the dyno so I don't know what it would have made at the wheels in "bone stock" form.

I noticed you mentioned taking off the trim because of discoloration. One of my next projects will be taking off the trim and redoing it to make it look "new" again. I'm disappointed I didn't get to meet you, but I never saw you in/around your truck.

Sent Micah a thank you from us all... for a great event! He will be compiling results and posting.. probably by tomorrow.
He said they had 78 trucks in the Sled Pull and the Dyno went till 1:30 AM Sunday!!!!!
They were back Sunday noon for cleanup!
I am sure we can understand why results were not posted by dawn on Sunday.

I heard John Issacs and his father loaded up the Dyno and headed for Kansas right after the event.... they had to be back Sunday.

Wow, they have my appreciation for doing that. I asked John Issac when I was leaving at 11:50 if he had been there the whole time, he said he had and hadn't had anything to eat yet.

So what was the consensus on the Dyno Dynamics dyno? Accurate, crazy, what?

I ran on one before at the TDR Rally in Kerrville. That was the only dyno I've ever been on where it really loaded the truck up and gave me street level boost numbers (even though I was only EZ and DD2s at the time).
