So as the time approaches for my dyno day, I am wondering if any of y'all have any tips, check lists, or anything else like that that I should go over before making the 6 hour trip to Houston? I am going to call LME tomorrow and try to get a check list from them, but I just wanted to see if anyone had some first hand experience you could share with me...Thanks

Look forward to seeing results.

Well Just got off the phone with Brya at LME.....They are really backed up from switching to their new dyno that I won't be able to get in this weekend...and on my end (school) I won't be able to get in until fall break which is oct. 23-24.....BALLSSSSS!!!
It really does and you'll love the STREET manners. Primarily due to 8 individual plenums instead of one.....plenums aren't drowning in reversion typical in single's. 8 runners breathing their own air and not fighting for it also allows virtually instant throttle response. One of a few "perks" in running an ITB is running a big, fast nasty cam that would have no prayer in a traditional plastic intake / single TB setup on the street.
A little more to it, so consider it the Cliff Notes of the Readers Digest version. I will defer to the expects to elaborate. We have similar cams, my runners and heads are a little more generous in the breathing department and mine idles like a .230ish 114lsa 346ci.
There will be some that will come in here and broad brush ITBs being the same and post up pointless apples and oranges comparisons that plastic intakes make the same power. They're not, they don't and you've got one of the best.
