Ok, time to get this gang back on the road and, since this usually works, food is involved !

I plan to hit DD Saturday morning around 9 or 9:30. I went last weekend and saw Chip there with his Cobra. It was a nice cool morning ride, there were some nice rides, car nuts, and plenty of parking for the ACC. C'mon down guys looks like perfect weather.

Cracker, bring your new ride... and TC.... well nevermind, just drive anything...

Oh Yeah - what a photo opportunity and I can just see it making the frontpage of the ACJ too. Then I would have a bunch of explaining to do as why my patrol unit was in that part of town and I didn't bring any back for the rest of the shift.

Besides ... 9am .. I'm snoozin. Y'all have fun.

Base626 - you should come out with the group more often. I would love the opportunity to see a Johnex (never seen one in person).

Where do they meet? Isn't it supposed to be raining?

I checked the weather and as unbelievable as it sounds, low probability of rain! I've got dyno time scheduled at Allspeed tomorrow morning at 10:00, so I'll be heading south.

Sorry Chill, scheduled tennis with the wife. That's always good for a couple of beers after the frustation factor wears out.

But you are right, we need to get together soon.

Well, I think I will head down anyway even though I am running a bit late, its a nice drive.

Sorry guys, went to the garage this morning to fire up the Cobra and the f*n clutch monster bit me again - bone dry. Spent about 20 minutes trying to bleed it with my neighbor but he had to leave. I've got to get this fixed... :|

Well, did the dyno thing. I must say, the guys down at Allspeed were a great bunch of guys. The have a very nice, clean shop and DynoJet set up. I was there from about 10:30 this morning until 3:30 in the afternoon. They made 24 pulls and tweaked the motor down to a knat's a$$. Several jet changes and a lot of timing adjustments. Improvement was around 35 foot/pounds of torque and a similar amount in HP. Jets went from 79 secondary to 83 and 74 to 75s on the primary. My intent was to get the carb set up and to ensure the air/fuel ratio was right. Now my tires will last even less. As you would guess, she runs great. The downside, max HP was 385 and a tad over 400 on torque. I guess I have to remove my name from the 500+ HP club, but that's the breaks. She's still a screamer. After spending the better part of the day on the dyno and some serious tuning, the bill was unbelievable (unbelievably low). I know they are wanting to bring in the Cobra crowd so they gave me a deal that was way better awesome, (I won't say what it was). They have a Ford day event scheduled for the end of August and I'm sure the dyno will be screaming. The guys are extremely attentive to detail and really know that dyno. After this experience, I can't imagine how a super tuning could be put on a motor without it being hooked up to a dyno. Fun day it was.
