How many miles does he have on the current motor?? THat's kinda scary to think that it's unnoticable.

now i kinda wanna check the compression on mine that in itself is more scary than jumpin' on the dyno.

Atilla: 64,000 miles
the car has been meticulously cared for by Tim & / or NeptuneSpeed.

BHR will be doing compression testing that weekend. Does that mean that Dr. Easy will be the Doctor of Death and have to break the news to people that their engines are dying?

Dude, if they could do a compression test, that'd be pretty awesome. I'm a glutton for punishment

scary though - he only had 64k?? i'm only 10k away from him

Rev says he'll be there but most likely wouldn't put his car on the dyno.

No bimmer for me. I'm content with the 8 and Tacoma.

A few tips for those coming for the first time and those returning for yet another awesome time

1. Bring a chair or two. There's not a lot of seats to be had, and the ones they have are in the lobby... not really the place to hang out when so many great things are going on in the garage.

2. A cooler isn't the worst idea. Water is your friend, booze is also good.

3. A jacket or sweater, it gets cold and I always have a smirk when you see people standing there shivering.

4. Cash, cash, cash. There aren't a ton of places really close by to get it, so bring it with you.

5. Patience. It can take awhile to get through each car and if you show up thinking you'll be in and out in an hour you're going to be an unhappy camper. I'm always surprised when people get antsy waiting when there's so much awesomeness going around. Anything you might want to do to your car is probably installed on at least one (if not more) of the cars at the dyno day. If you have a question just find the owner and I have no doubt you'll get all the info you could ever want.

6. Have fun. that's all you have to worry about when it comes down to it.. just have fun.
