David, Unfortunately I can't make it to ATL this weekend.. I have to attend this dinner with my wife on friday and wife has a saturday off and wants me to hang out with her.. Maybe I could convince her to spend that day at a dyno... Probability of that happening seems very slim at the moment..

Hope you could still make it to DGRR?? If not, Hope we could meet up some other time...

Provided the car is ready this week (should be, that's how Steve Kan is getting to Atlanta) then I'm going to DGRR. Will make reservations next week. I look forward to meeting you in person

I don't know when the car will be dynoed on Saturday. I was planning on showing up around noon or so.

Saturday Schedule beginning @8:00 am. Steve said that it will take about an hour or so for
FD's with twins so let's allow at least an hour per car. That being said, the schedule goes like this:

Saturday

Mooney: 8am
Clifford: 9:30
Noxpluxus: 11:00
Casey : 12:30
Hall : 2:00

I am sure that we will have a break for lunch so please allow for variables on the schedule.

Sunday's schedule will be posted later today.

Is there any chance for one more 3rd gen? Just got the car running. I am in Huntsville and would like to get a street tune. I would need a wide band O2 sensor from the shop I do not run with one. Also I have a commander in the car with a complete exhuast system with high flow cat. Other than that it is a normal 7

Unfortunately I had to leave before I could see David's car being dynoed, but I did see it running and even saw him take off for a spin around the block. So ...It’s alive, it's alive!!!

On Steve Kan's street tune and ~10psi, this is the first pull:



The car sounded amazing, drove amazing, and overall, just amazing.

I had to leave around 8:30ish after they disovered a voltage problem. You can see it in the vids I will post later today or tomorrow (it is Easter after all). After 6 or 7 pulls his numbers didn't vary that much but I think we can all agree that the car's capable of a lot more than 480, especially after seeing the hotside of that T51 (OMG).

Special thanks to everyone that came out -- I know I had a great time, even though my car wasn't there, and enjoyed talking to everyone about their projects. And thanks to David for letting me ride/drive his car .

Great Day in Atlanta

Thanks to Charlie for setting up a great tuning session! Everything came off accoding to plan. Thanks to Steve!!! I am not into the tuner scene, grew up on big blocks, but this guys is an artist. The way that he works through the engine a step at a time to bring out all that the engine has is amazing. Those of us that had our cars tuned were lucky to have Steve come in and work his majic!

And of course, thanks to Arthur, our Dyno host. Nothing happens without Arthur.
