Default What happened to all the ringers at the fest? (dyno)

Had the mobile dyno all set up, waiting for a shoot out- i dynoed mine- stock w/ a MBC and Lindsey exhaust -no chips!- and got 219.8rwhp from my 86. Few others dynoed but i think Dan lost his **** on renting the thing for a day.

I was all excited to see a special tool.

Turns out the tool bailed on us. Why tool why?

I paid but could not attend. I paid in hopes, that the pressure would be what I needed to get the car ready BUT it was not enough time to finish welding the header/ IC tubes, create a MAP for the Link stand alone .. the list goes on..

Well, Tool?? I think he's done with the dyno runs and now living his life," a 1/4mi. at a time" or he was chicken that DDP would show up and stomp his ****!

That is depressing. Really sucks. Just ensures this won't be at the next one. Oh well. I do hope people showed up and had a good time? I wish I could have been there.

He told me there were hurricanes and **** up in CT or whereever hes from.

To tell the truth I believe him.

I went through the worst storm of my life going to the fest from VA. It was hailing and people were pulled over and stuff.

Sam, your a honda boy now too, you're not supposed to tell people about what really happens during crossover!

BTW, when did you get an s2k? I wanna see it. (I've been gone a while)
