Only a couple of spots left open. However since the goal is to have the highest horsepower cars available you could always bump somebody. King of the Street discussion will be open until the end of the month.

Dyno list is now full. Starting a reserve list. If you want to get in on the top 15 you'll need 400+whp. Post up your best to date dyno numbers to be added.

The first two years it was Horsepower for Charity. The 2nd year it was domestics only. A couple of import shops said hey, lets do a import vs domestic event. I gave it a shot. You saw the turn out. Now it's back to just Horsepower for Charity. No competition. James' shop has plenty of room for spectators. I put rain or shine on the flyer since it is indoors so the weather shouldn't matter. I've got a few high horsepower cars signed up but it's still a few month away so things may change. Right now it will take 500+ to get in.

700 would definitely make it. You don't have to sign up now if you don't want to. Yesterday I signed up three cars so the bottom number is getting higher. A guy with a built TT 4V Cobra signed up. Already did 1038 on MPH's dyno. He has swapped to a TH400 but will be getting it tuned for more boost so it might still break 1000.

Well I won't be making that much lol. I'll just wait Til it gets closer before I sign up. Just to make sure everything up and running...

That's fine. It's still three months away. The list will probably be completely different by that time. Here are two more flyers to use. Updating the first post with the first one.
