Default Full Plate for Tomorrow

Tomorrow, I'm taking a nice long drive down to Delaware to pay Fran at RPM a visit. I'm finally breaking down and getting a dynotune. I hear great things about his shop on this forum, so I have very high hopes. I can't wait! I'm sick and tired of my car smelling like gasoline. It's running way too rich.

After the car finally gets tuned, I'll be heading down to Atco Raceway for the evening. This'll be my first time at the track since July '07 and we're looking at party cloudy skies with a low of 51 degrees and low humidity PERFECT track night.

Anyone hitting up Atco Thursday night? Can't ask for better weather!

I don't get this "smell like gas" ****... maybe I'm malfunctioning?

All I know is Fran was great dealing with in purchasing my headers. Put up numbers when you get 'em...

Does Fran have a load dyno like a Mustang dyno or is it inertia like a Dynojet?

Fran is a great guy. He is still using the mustang dyno at Evolution Performance I assume, unless I missed a huge "I GOT THE DYNO" thread and he forgot to tell me.

Ooo he doesn't actually have the dyno in his shop? No biggie. I'm actually glad to hear it's a Mustang dyno. The numbers may be ~20rwhp lower, but they're a lot better for tuning purposes. I'd rather run the better ET than have the inflated dyno numbers of a Dynojet. Either way, it doesn't really matter. As long as there's a dyno of some sorts involved I'm happy
