When: Saturday December 20th 9am -4pm
Where: Gearheads Performance (1200 S. Commercial Blvd. Suite 103 Arlington 76001)
What's so Special: Bring in a toy and get 2 dyno pulls with a/f for $20 bucks.
Anything Else: Food and drinks will be provided.
"Well because we have so much interest we're gonna meet at 7:30AM for breakfast at Cracker Barrel off of I-20 and Bowen. If you just want to show up for the cruise we'll be leaving the restaurant no later than 8:45AM."

it went fine for most, something was odd about the dyno though, when mine went up i got a laughable number, then when my friends 400whp on a mustang dyno went up he got 350whp ish, we think they were not setting up the rolling resistance or something.

they also werent able to pick up the rpm correctly, according to the sheet he started at 7,000 and went to 12,000 lol ill posted the screwed up dyno in a min
