Post Houston Dyno Jan 21st. Who's in?

In case you don't know the drawbacks here they are:
1. Clubcab and possibly Quad cab long bed trucks may not fit on the dyno. The way to tell if your truck will fit is to measure from the end of the rear bumper to the center of the front tire. The maximum length is 206".
The owner says he can modify it to fit but it would not be ready before the 21st.
2. Duallys would have to remove the outside rear dual to keep from possibly
damaging the rear tire.
3. As of now, the dyno will not calculate the torque measurements. No RPM pickup. We can calculate the torque mathmatically.

$55 for two good runs runs.


We do need an approximate headcount. It will be at high noon

Those interested can caravan down from the meeting on I45

Personally, I will have to take my rear bumper and rear duals off to get on the machine. We will have a floor jack to pull tires and if anyone would like to donate an impact wrench for the day it would be greatly appreciated.

If your interested post it here so we can get a count.

Thanks
