Jim (megawatt) didn't run, and Platinum Pete went last and due to the raffle starting immediately afterwards, I didn't get his numbers. I do on the other hand have video of Platinum's run that I will post later in the week.

Hello Everyone.

This Friday I had an Open Q&A chat with, I guess, the hiring manager who happens to be up in Alaska.

I sense that this civilian outfit is setting up something new over there in Afghanistan. Might be that they took over a contract from someone else.

I was advised that whenever I should be heading through corporate headquarters that I should not have any ponytails nor bushy beards.
I said to the guy, no problem as I was in the military before and I'll get a regulation haircut just because.

This company does a lot of government work and operates out of military bases, so I have to get a security clearance but I don't know to what level.
And that being the case I'm not asking too many specific questions.

I don't even know if I'm working NGO civil aviation aircraft, or the military variants.

Aaron, my thoughts are with your sister and family.

So does that mean you've got the job, Dave?

My dyno sheet.


Fastest time in the 1/8 mile was 9.77 @ 71 point something mph and yes I won a live tuning session with Jody at DP Tuner. Is it next year yet?

Platnium Pete's numbers were less tahn mine because we swapped ipr's minutes before his pulls on the dyno. his high pressure oil system had lots of air in it still and putting it on the rollers was more of a photo op
on the other hand 331 HP / 603 TQ

So I got to work yesterday morning expecting a pretty uneventful day as usual. The owner is on vactation, so it's ok that I don't have much of anything to do right now. I got my FDA, and hazmat paperwork together and was getting ready to leave. Walked out to the vans, started one up, and I was a little startled to hear a nice loud ROAR! from the exhaust. I thought to myself...there's no way the exhaust rotted out, the van is an 07. So I got out, crawled underneath and looked at the muffler first. No problems there. Started my way back up the system, and what do I find...No "cats". Just nice clean cuts, about a foot apart with a big open space where that "cats" should be. Somebody came by our office over the weekend and zipped the "cats" off both our work vans. Just lovely.
