and rick bliss has one off knights station rd. has a personal one which is a really nice top of the line superflow dyno thats sometimes able to be used.
Ok... it was Jimmy's dyno that I used with the truck. It was over 4 years ago and I couldn't remember the name of the place. It is on 92 east of lakeland. Which one do you use most?

I know Jimmy and the Other owner of the "auto clinic" I used to work for Blane which is the other owner.
It's a shady place.
If never take my car there.
my buddy took his truck there with a full tank of gas, when he got it back 2 days later it was practically empty and they put almost 300 miles on the truck.

you know what sucks, is when you get a good chunk of money and your like "man i can get my car going and go raicng soon and hell ya all kinds of stuff" then you loving sister asks to borrow some money and its just so happens to be 90% of what you got.

Thats a bummer.

On a bright side ill have a 24ft enclosed trailer with a diamond plate floor and AC with a generator and exterior lighting for the race track for a few months! cant wait

That's cool that it has a diamond plate floor. I screwed up when I bought my 28 foot enclosed last year. They told me that it had "rubberized" non slip flooring. It looked good and definitely wasn't slippery, but it does not like petroleum products and methanol. It stains like hell and even where I let my spare tire set for a few months left a hell of a stain the size of the tire. I won't get that crap again!!!
