RJ, are you making it to either one? I was thinking about heading over to the dyno on Friday, when my calendar was empty for the afternoon, but now I've got 3 meetings scheduled. So that plan looks like it's out. Saturday is out cause I've got a b-day party that afternoon.

 

We're planning to attend both events.

 

I think I'll be able to get off about 3pm tomorrow so making it shouldn't be a problem for the dyno.

 

Probably get to Dyno by 4 pm.
Anyone interested ... it's a Dynojet. Dr Performance told me they will keep going till everyone dynos that wants to..... heard last yr went till 2 am.
Saturday.... up in the air right now!

RJ

 

Wish I could make it but I gotta work Friday afternoon/evening. And I have plans Saturday.

Gonna be a scorcher guys both Friday and Sat! Drink plenty of liquid refreshment!

Man i had to read the last 4 pages to catch up!! Haven't been around in a while... Life has been busy.. Buddy Jason (most have met) got married on a big catamaran on Lake Lewisville Sat eve.. Big lake day the day before.. (I tried to sink the boat, but that is another story!)


I guess I'm out for this weekend as well... Having some friends down to my parents place for another lake weekend before heading off to Maui the 3rd through the 10th.. Big day is the 5th!!

Reception is on the 25th of July, so hopefully after all this fun is over, life will calm down a bit and let me come play!! Ol dodge is doing well... Have a small oil leak on the back (of course) of my P7100, bolt hole I believe.. It is making a mess on my underside!! Need to fix that

Oh ya and I have the 1/8-1/4 tank blues now... Hauling a large trailer out of a pasture, back end of the truck sunk a bit going over a high spot and now my plastic tank has a big dent and low spot in it!! apparently it messed with the placement of my straw!! start getting erratic pressures around 1/8 tank.. or just before light comes on!!

Hope everyone is doing well.. Robert- sounds like a heck of a trip!!

 

I know this is off topic but does anyone know where I can find some good 4 bt's? Really only needing one, preferably running and still in the original truck so I can get all the stuff.

 

Not another "Brian make fire" story is it?

 

No not quite... Parked the boat off the shore a ways because the shore was too shallow.. Eating some BBQ noticed the bildge was dumping...


Swam out popped the engine bay and there was 10-12" of water.. popped center hold bout 10" in there... Yes plugs were in... Long story short got her on the trailer and emptied out.. A ballast line had come loose and was basically a 3/4" diameter hole in the bottom of the boat... Got it fixed and away we went, PITA though...

 

Did not realize you added a Draw Straw.... or did I just forget that I knew?
Do it the same way we did mine (inside the fuel module)?

I captained a sinking 2007 23' VIP to the trailer, It was a scary feeling at night . That 5.7L had trouble holding us about 10mph (hammer down). one of the drain plugs in the exhaust water jacket came loose filling the motor compartment with water while running. That is an experience I do not want to go thru again. I have had some gnarly nautical experiences. . .

I still can't believe the motor kept running, I have killed trucks in mud puddles. This boat had constant water up to the head, and valve covers.

 

Well I did alright tonight, won the 350 hp class (with a 353.4), first time I have really tried to win one.
Also watched a truck featured in Diesel Power Mag make a run that exceeded what the dyno could record (1200 hp).

 

Congrats Matt! But I thought you couldn't go OVER 350. No?

So was this a dyno to simply be the "Closest"......on either side of the number???

..

 

Yeah, I thought you couldn't exceed...

good job, Matt!

 

They tried the format of closest to 350, and after they were done they asked if everyone wanted to keep that format for when they do it again in August.
Maybe my winning luck is changing, I need to go buy a lottery ticket and go enter a roping.
