Interest in a NW IDI GTG/Dyno Day?

Just throwing the idea out there, and seeing what kind of interest there might be, and if there is enough to pursue it. I know of a few for sure guys already.

NMB2 has put our dyno days together in the past, and he is much better with people than me. He is a Denver guy now, so that puts the ball in my hands... I guess the best place to start is here, and gauge interest. Normally its just the usual few, including a couple of gasser friends, but I always thought it would be cool to make a big deal out of it, since the normal IDI gtg is always over east-way... I know we have a ton of IDI's up this way, and there are a decent amount of guys in Cali, so it might make for a pretty cool event, something different anyway.

The Idea would be to make a weekend out of it, with one of the days having a Dyno event, the other we could relax and check out everybody's rigs, or maybe do a road trip drive and see the sights of WA.

If its something that enough people would be interested in being a part of, I would be more than glad to put it together. I just don't wanna go through the work if only 5 guys are going to show up....

I'm in. Can we do a test and tune thing? I would love to get as much as possible out of mine, I know it needs injectors, timing and turned up at least.

Depending on when, I might have the Courier done and could run that too. It's an IDI, just made by Mercedes-

Ill do some looking into it, and see what I can up with.

We can treat this thread as the "un-official" NW IDI GTG until I have a more concrete plan.

Only if you swear off Cummins and promise to keep at least two IDIs at all times...............
Or bring pizza.

Nmb2, your shoulders are getting too wide to fit through the garage door. Unfortunately you cannot come. Unless you bring pizza

Count me in. My truck would dyno at 120hp, but I'll probably bring my '67 Mustang.

I may be interested, location will be the biggest deciding factor though. I don't mind a bit of driving, but my truck drinks more on the freeway than in the city.
