I never heard anything back from Dustin, but I probably won't dyno before the event and possibly only go to the SFS drag event on Saturday. A few issues popped up. Call me.

Gauging Interest

Just trying to see who would be interested in a tuning session with a top-notch tuner (PFS) tentative date mid to late November.

The rain should pass in the next couple of hours so everything should be good by morning. Set your alarm clock for 7:00 AM, get a little loving and go to bed early... that's what I plan to do... so no excuses...

LOL, no we made it to the event. I had a pretty decent run, best was 12.68 @ 116mph. Couldn't get my 60' time below a 2.1

Where did you get it from? I'll give you a call some time this weekend.

BTW, are you still using that tap & die set you got from me? I needed it last weekend, but then remembered you still had it.

Don,

What kind of tires were you running and what tire pressure? Since if that 12.68 at 116 was with street tires at 32 psi, we're about the same. My best run was around 12.5ish at 119 if I recall from a couple years ago down in Silver dollar raceway in Ga...street tires at 32 psi. I was wanting to see what the car could do if I was at a red light on a given night and somebody in a stang next to me wanted to race

BTW, how's 7 doing and I don't mean the car

Tim

damn, I guess the track is going year around..LOL I heard them the other day (Sunday( and it was like in the 40's out side. I can not imagine it is very safe for a powerful car.
Now on Ray Wilson coming down. I am about to give up on himas I have emailed them several times with no response. Now I am wondering about Gaby Stern. Dont get me wrong here, I like BDC, great friend of mine but he has not played with the AEM much and I want a bad *** tune for the track. 2 step and all. So I will see when Gaby may be available and even if he is willing to travel. If anyone is not sure about him just search his name. Gaby is one of the TOP tuners in the world. Tuned the quickest rotary to date. But this may be a long shot as he may not even travel.

Those times seem good. I was just looking over my slips from when I was on twins and I could not find the 12.3 pass but the 12.6 one was @111mph, 8.0 1/8th . This was on 14psi. So if Don was on 10psi there is some decent numbers to come. I am sure you can hit the 11's but the trap speed will go down from my experience. My best traps were always on shitty 60 footers.

Just not sure if Steve has tuned any drag aem set ups. I am mainly interested in having the 2 step on the aem set up. I know Ray has done this on quit a few with nice results.

Hey Tim. Yeah, running street tires, not sure on the tire pressure, but probably 28-32 psi.

7 is doing good. She will be 4 years pretty soon... is that the same as dog years?
