Well, thanks to all that came out for the dyno day and cruise! It was a great time, and was cool to have everyone together one last time before I go.
Recapping the dyno for those that weren't there. My Formula put down less than when it was tuned at (421 RWHP) but that was probably due to the fact a broken rocker arm was just replaced not even a full 24 hours previous to getting on the dyno, and the computer was still relearning (or at least thats what I am guessing).
Jake's car (white 03 Cobra with the whipple) broke up on the top end of his RPM's. One of his runs blipped at 651 RWHP, and then another showed 625 RWHP.
My Z wouldn't get any traction on the dyno, but after they let off the gas for a few seconds and it got traction again it started recording the power and it still was over 600 RWHP. They said it was easily north of 650 RWHP, but it would have been nice to see that from the dyno.
LM Speed is the first shop I have ever seen having a "free" dyno day, along with free food. Special thanks goes out to them, even if I didn't get traction on their dyno.
I haven't gotten a chance to check out the pictures I took last night, but when I do, I'll be sure to post up some of the good ones.

I don't have the dyno graph as LM Speed's printer was not operable. They said they'd be emailing the dyno graphs this week. The car feels smooth and fine, and is not making any bad noises. The best way to really assess things would be to have you scan it for me really, and check things out as I am driving it.

Without tearing things apart, I would think the best assessment is to see how the car looks under the microscope of the scan, then check for how it is running, and performing, and if there are any signs of something going wrong (noises, leaks, abrasives in the oil, ect.).
