If you have a Kenne Bell, as apparent by your avatar, it's ok. We can fix the slow Ford....

Sell that KB and pickup a Whipple! They actually make power, not just claim to make power.

If he hasn't ordered it yet, I'd like to talk to him on March 7th before he spends his hard earned cash...

I've had both manufacturers blowers in the past... I can offer some good advice.

It doesn't look like Whipple makes a supercharger for the 302.

Also you should consider taking down "Classics" are welcome if Fords aren't allowed. I obviously got the wrong impression from the poster and from a friend who was going to Dyno at the shop on the 7th and now I can't.

I'm sure they'd love to have everyone who wants to dyno their car, strap it down on that day. Remember that'd be more money for them too, and I'm pretty sure they're not against making money.

However, the meet was setup by "3rdgenfan" as an LSx meet/Dyno Day. Because Fran doesn't want to turn people away, he's inviting everyone to come hangout, spend some time meeting other car guys and taking a look at what's going on around the shop.

It's not unusual to have specific car style dyno days. All other domestic RWD cars are welcome to come hangout and have a good time, but due to time constraints they're only able to do so much. I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities for us to go out and dyno our Fords.

Thank you Carlo.

Fran and I aren't saying you cant come, you guys are more than welcome to come and shoot the **** with other car guys and check everything out. Fran just would like to dyno GM stuff since thats more or less what his shop focuses on. It's not even my call on who can dyno, really..since it's not my shop. I am just trying to help someone out and organize a get together with the dyno thrown in.

As I said somewhere else, I originally intended on having this as a GTO only type meet...but whats the fun when theres only 6 of us that show up

I'd LOVE to see everyone come out and check their cars out, its just the DYNO that Fran wants to limit.

Depending on how this day goes, I will be planning another one sometime soon. We dont discriminate

Thanks! I don't get out much with two kids (3 year old and 7 months), but when the weather is nice I usually cruise around Philadelphia Pike and Silverside road.
