Interesting. A lot of this you could figure out for yourself but it's funny to see how they see themselves and all the psychology they use. Nice article.

yeah i was aware of a lot of it as well but the fact that a saleman thinks that he can intimidate and control me by a hand shake and writing big numbers is pretty dumb. i am sure it works on a lot of people. a lot of people don't feel comfortable questioning/challenging others so i guess that's how it works out.

I see now, the wording "blow out" had me befuddled. What plugs are in there and what's the gap? What's your hp numbers?

Anyone been to this shooting place?

I've been wanting to go somewhere to go shooting for fun just to try out lot of different guns. I wanted to go there today but this place closes in 3 hours and it will take me 1 and half hours to get
there. That's what I get for making up my mind of what I want to do at 2 in the afternoon.

This guy at the 28 second mark has the right idea, what a combo:

bpr8es plugs and I think I had gapped them around .22 to .23. Power is around 450 whp. Its been a while since I replace them or even checked the gap so Im sure theyre due.

Carson, did you strap her down, what kind of # did it make? I'm guessing you did and your not very happy with teh outcome judging by your comments.

Thanks again Brian, I'd be screwed without your coming to the rescue. Way to hook a brother up.

yeah i strapped her down and made less than when i had the stock cat on, something is up and i think its a rattling sound causing her to pull timing. I may also have leaking tbody seals and maybe bov. Only time will tell lol.

KHC Dyno Day Images

Snagged my roommates camera today and kinda went crazy with taking pics. A lot of them turned out pretty decent, however this is the first time I've held a decent camera in my hands.
Using a Nikon D5000, no idea what lens.

I'm putting up a lot, but I have quite a few more so if you guys want more I have over a hundred from the day, sure I have some form of what youre looking for. Only really got pics of the cars that were on the dyno when I was there, as well as what was sitting in the lot when I arrived.

Enjoy the onslaught...

Looks like you guys had a great time. My wifes Christmas party had karaoke, a dance floor, 100+ mental patients and was 4 hours long. It was totally worth missing a dyno day.
