Jedi: take me off the compression test

gov't stuck me with some kinda back taxes bullshit i'm trying to fix. If i can't figure this out i'm going to be a lil' tight on cash come dyno day. Between the compression test n' the dyno, i'd rather have the dyno.

You could decide now or wait until next month. How many miles on your engine?

A compression test would give you an idea as to how much wear your engine has. And how much longer your engine might last. But that is all hypothetical anyway. Never hurts to know the condition of your engine internally regardless.

Konig: as Easy mentioned, you can decide any time you like. If you decide to get one done, just let me know so I can put you on the list.
You guys know ME... I like to plan things out and try to keep everything organized because come dyno weekend, it'll be pretty hectic.

Also, if enough people sign up, we'll need two compression testers. (which isn't a problem, we have access to them, just need to plan ahead)

yes.
Saturday is when the Turbo / Supercharged cars hit the dyno
Sunday we all duke it out for king of the Hill.

some people will be there both days, some are only showing up the day their car is on the dyno, it's completely up to everyone when they want to be there.
I expect more people on Sunday since there's more N/A cars then there are FI cars but if you want to show up quickly on Saturday to get the compression test "out of the way" then that's cool.
It's up to you man, we're pretty flexible.

OCHO: I got you down for a Saturday compression test.

still waiting to hear from Zumn on which day we're testing his compression.
I'll update the list as people sign up.
