Who did you talk to Rusty or Brian.......

Rusty is my brother in law and they are straight up guys, it is funny that you should be posting this now because Brian and I were talking about this about 2 weeks ago as well. They will probably be doing a little work on my 88 vert that I am converting from NA to T2. This will be going on while I am in Iraq

Anyhow they are good guys and will give you straight answers

Are they in a neighborhood where having an RX-7 race car (i.e. REALLY loud) on their dyno is OK?

I would support them next time I want to dyno something.

My -se needs a new turbo and I need to learn more about tuning/upgrade from an e6 to an e11.

Olathe? HAHAHA wow there might as well be warning sirens when we get on the dyno out there SHIIIIIT.

Olathe is in good ole Johnson County=LAME!!. Anyway maybe we'll have so many noise complaints the POlice wont care lol.

But if they're looking into tunning rotary's that would be great im gonna need mine tuned in about 3 months so

Rusty and Brian also have a secret weapon to help stay within the rules.

Brent I spoke with Rusty (my brother in law) about this last weekend and they said they could work with you guys on a dyno day. I can't set it up as I am not in town from Ft Riley enough. Brent if you run into any problems and need me to run interference talking to Rusty or Brian let me know
