I have never Dynoed guess we should have got a base line before we started but can't cry over spilled milk. I have attended sessions at Little Monsters and they are great guys and the day I was there they gave you your moneys worth.

Carb Connection or Little Monsters for me would be closest. Turbo Tech in Tacoma would be a bit to far, but doable with enough lead time.

LM would work. I would love to see how slow the red car is before this winters round of Mod's!

As for the Blue car? I have given up complete hope of ever driving it again at this point. I am right on the verge of either parting it out and putting it back to stock and selling it

Hmmm... I'd say Saturday the 23rd, Saturday the 30th, or Saturday Aug. 6th. Might want to check with Little Monsters and see what their availability is for those days.

I'm thinking the 30th will be the best weekend... I forgot about the NHRAs on the 23rd (which I plan on going to). The 30th gives plenty of notice, and all I really care about it not missing any races, since I'm missing enough of them with car probs.

We can just make a whole weekend out of it... CCC race on Friday the 29th, Dyno on Saturday, then Hooters right after.

WTF Ellis? Here I'm trying to build something that might even give YOU some competition, and you bail on me. Where's the love buddy?

NOTICE: EVERYONE take your car to Ellis to have him work on it. And if you owe him money, PAY HIM NOW!!!

If it wasn't half torn apart already, I'd bring my car over & have you replace the water pump etc etc.

Putting back to stock and selling??? I still have have this LT-1 Driver/ CCC car idea you know. However I have can't lick quit spending money on the black car problem. No one wants to see you sell your car but if you should come to that decision no don't do it Ellis.

I can organize a day for you. There's a new Mustang dyno in University Place (Between Tacoma and the Sound). With tax, the charge would be $33. for the first pull, $11. each pull thereafter. If you want A/F, hookup will be $17. (one time fee) -providing you already have the needed bung. You'd need 10 cars to get that price.

This would be at Fair Lady Motors which is in a row of shop-garage type businesses. It is not air conditioned, etc. It's very basic. We had a Mustang dyno day there in February so I know I can get it with some prior notice. Some of the Cobra guys complained because there was only a porta-potty and no lobby etc. Most folks were very pleased with the dyno and the service offered.

Anyway, if you want me to put you in touch with Doug Smith at Fair Lady, let me know. You might want something with a nicer ambiance.

Cobra guys dont complain...however I did split before the snow touched down. I recently set up the one in Meridian, had about 18 cars. Its $50 for 3 pulls with AF. Great bunch of guys too, and they even cooked lunch for us. Here is the link from when I set it up a few months ago, you might wanna glance over the first post and try to set something up.

I need to dyno or something as well because I did not get an AF measurement last time at LM because it wasn't working or something. I might go in half and half on an LC1 with my friend so this is still up in the air for me. Regardless, I need to get a wideband AF reading of NA and with my 100 shot before I start spraying at the track.

I will second that MPS is a good place to get dynoed. My 2000 was dynoed there on a dyno challenge day, they (the organizer, not MPS) said bring any car, but then got huffy when my stock TA blew away all the imports that showed up.

Well I'd vote for any place in tacoma but as long as it's far enough away that I could request it off from work I don't mind where it is, I love to drive and I'm sure I'd barely be breaking 200 anyways.
