Default Slowhawk Dyno day -=aftermath=-

I figured I'm prolly the first one home. The rest are prolly out drinking or whatever. I couldn't stand up anymore and was starting to get a nasty headache.

Good times tho.

Let's see if we can throw all of our stuff from that meet in here. I'm uploading vids now. I didn't get a lot. Just 2 of mine and the Black C6 with the issues on the dyno. I got pics, too, but give me some time.




-=EDIT=- having issues converting vids.. I'll edit this when I get it straightened out. I'll add vids as I go along.

No carnage today.Most of the time I ran the cars and stopped a few mid-run due to issue's I saw.I like to catch a problem before it messes up the dyno

What type of headlights are those on your car. I saw them today and thought they looked good. I need new headlights for my SS. I know there are different brands on ebay.

They're K2 Motors. A buddy bought them off Ebay and got pissed when they weren't bright (w regular bulbs) and he didn't align them right so he sold them to me for $120, IIRC.. I put some HID's in there and had a friend show me how to align them. all good now.

What a great day. The turnout was unbelievable.
Thanks to everyone who helped dyno the cars on a really hot day. To the cook, man I'm glad that wasnt me, food was great.

Seeing old friends and catching up is what it's all about.

How about the S2000 reving to 9500 wish I had a pic of Don's face. Man that thing sounded great out of 2.0
Sleeper pic mustang 4.6 putting out 420.
A few Camaro's but nothing on the dyno I saw. Guess their not modding yet.

Great time Don! Thanks for putting the event together. Always good to catch up with some old car buds. I can't wait to see you race this season. Let me know which day you want to do a track rental to get it dialed in and I'll sign up too.
