[JDSfastGN]

I plan on bringing two cars as well, my 87 and my dads T. See ya there Chris and everybody else

Not really sure 500 at the rear wheels would be a good place to start

I'm hoping for the same out of my car.... last time i was disappointed with 427/458 on a superflow dyno... but it trapped 124 at the time.

JD,
I am going to guess 620 WHP @ 26 PSI/5700 RPM
But hey, we all know roller dyno numbers can be deceiving.

This event will provide some GREAT data to determine the converter flash stall.

I am a possibility.

A few members have asked if they will be able to operate their car on the dyno to watch for KR etc. and, have indicated that this will be a “make/break” condition of them attending the event.

Unfortunately, the club has been notified that event attendees will not be allowed to operate their cars on the dyno. :frown: Just want to give advanced notice to those who have concerns.

.

 

[LEGACY_GN]

WOW, deal killer.

 

[bigdwg03]

How much to come hang out and watch? Lol I jus moved our here from California to attend the local automotive machining school. I drive a 67 skylark if that helps haha

 

[slimtastic]

anyone can come out and watch. but unfortunately i cant let anyone operate the dyno due to a couple concerns.

if the owners want to ride in the passenger seat to monitor and give me "parameters" for a safe dyno pull then i can do that with no problem, as i do own a turbo buick myself so i fully understand "knock" concerns....

the safety of everyone and their auto's is our main concern, but like i said before, if the owner of each vehicle wants to give me or whoever is operating their car on the dyno a "5 minute debriefing" on how to run their car we will be all ears

and then if the owner wants to "ride along" its encouraged.

i promise you all that the last thing any of us want to do is break any car on the dyno
