No.
Besides, after the issues you and I had with last year's dyno day it would be best if you just didn't show up as you're not welcome at my event.

details aren't necessary and it's truly not worth spending any additional time on.



Updates:
  • The dyno order is pretty much set, I'll post the list again but the 1st post in this thread is always up to date.
  • Compression tests: I just sent a PM to everyone woh is signed up but I'll reiterate it here: Please do NOT forget your wheel locks. It's the easiest way to gain access to the plugs and it'll make things easier.
  • As for everyone else: check those lug nuts, we've had cars get on the rollers with loose lug nuts. This is NOT good. You know who you are...

niiice Greg!
What's left to do to have your car ready?



can't believe we're only 13 days away from this event.
It seems like just a few weeks ago I started this thread to see if there was any interest in doing it again.

Speaking of which: you guys are ANIMALS! Over 1,000 posts in here and we still haven't even put a car on the rollers.

You sent me a PM.
Anyway, it's always a good idea to have that (wheel lock) in your car anyway, should it be required to remove a wheel.

these damn dyno days always end up costing me more then I expect.
As it is, I made an impulse buy on something and the BHR team is working to see if they can get it to me by the event.

what did you buy to decarb your car? I know Auto Zone carries bottles of Seafoam

speaking of which, I'm working on getting that invoice for you. Hopefully today.
This is rather backwards Ray, normally it's YOU giving ME the invoice and saying, "pay up SUCKA!"
