dude it's over 60 miles from Tulare, you'd have to 120mph to get there in 30 min........that's alittle more than a little over the speed limit!!!

Im here in Bako as well....

Let me know if you guys want to get together and do a dyno day/get together/bbq...

Ive got a new in ground chassis dyno, state of the art Mustang Dyno 1100SE that I need to break in (2000 rwhp capable, full eddy current loading for weight/aerodynamics, full 1/4 mile dragstrip simulation accurate to .01 with full printed timeslips that can run down a low 8 second car)

$125 per hour...any horsepower pulls or 1/4 mile passes you want. Usually dial in the car with standard dyno horsepower pulls then make full 1/4 mile pulls and make small changes to run the fastest 1/4 mile ET/mph you can.


The 1/4 mile thing has been extremely useful so far. It simulates exact weight/aerodynamics.....so even if you get the best rwhp dyno # you can, making changes in shift points, timing/airfuel through the 1/4 mile run ensures the car runs the fastest it possibly can in the 1/4 mile.

Youd be suprised how many cars run faster 1/4 mile times with non-"Ideal" rwhp numbers due to how different the car runs through all 3 or 4 gears.

PM me about anything else as im not a sponsor etc..
