Default Intersting day at the dyno

FINALLY got my dad's ghetto fab ws6 buttoned up with a 408 and a p1sc and made a few pulls on it at EPS in baton rouge

everything was going well for the first three pulls and continuasly gained power while geoff fiddled with the tune

here is the best run of the day
[/URL]

needless to say it has ALOT more in it but some idiot (IE. me) didn't think to add a breather or a catch can to it so it was pushing oil under boost so we figured one more pull to dial it in just a bit more.....it's always the last pull that gets you

watch the 28 second mark.......that would be the harmonic balancer litterally falling out of the car and skipping across the shop

the problem was the fellow who put in the motor/balancer didn't know to put a crank key kit on it and the bolt backed out....THANKFULLY there is no damage other than the balancer itself and will be fixed soon

all in all it was a very interesting day
