Thanks and thanks! I just can't remember for sure, but I thought the pic of the turbines were taken from the highway 287 on the west side of the highway between Amarillo and Dumas. If not there, perhaps somewhere on 87 around Dalhart.

I don't remember seeing any others........but that's not to say that there weren't any. I have never been to the panhandle of Texas prior to this trip. Or NE New Mexico either for that matter.

Is this a new twist?
Does 351hp beat out 348hp, or is it closest to, without going over??

Hmmmm...wonder if I can make my config do right at 500 again? Or maybe I should go back to the old proven combo that always put me right at 350.

You can make 350 exactly. But not more than.

Well I don't know with certainty...but I think it is more than a guess.
Well that is my understanding based on conversations with Micah. Hopefully he will see your question here and verify.

So if there is a 350 class then Tyler might actually have a chance.

Hey Rowland, 6/18/09

The Dyno Day is being hosted/held by Dr. Performance on Friday starting at 12:00 noon...at their shop.

We (ODRA) are only helping with the "payout" of the "bracket" race along with NADM that will be on Saturday at the track.

From my understanding, at the last dyno day they held, it was up to 350hp without going over and so on...

I will check with Michael Doss at Dr.P to see what the exact details are and also to see if or what payouts might be involved for the dyno.

His Contact Information is:
Doss@drperformance.com

See you there,
Micah

Poor Tyler. And he isn't even here to make a good comeback to defend himself.

I can almost assure you I won't be there until 6pm (of all the weeks I'm working 8-5), hopefully it will still be going that long.
