Sorry Guys we couldn't dyno on sat, the two dyno around here. Kaztech Motorsports, And Bullish Motorsports had no dyno time. So since we are heading out to Sevenstock on tuesday. we might dyno around there in front of everyone. However can any one tell me how to put a video or a sound clip of the car.
