Stop the Madness!!!!
If I see another Desktop Dyno, or Engine on Paper I'm gonna scream.
You Chumps need to build some motors, put them in a truck and get your backside down to the Dyno and post some real numbers.

Sorry, night 4 0f 4. It's the first long week I've worked since being back on nights.

I'd love to have an engine dyno. But that's not an easy process. First you have to find one, then you have to haul your motor there, plumb it up with all the necessary goodies.
But, I'll gladly settle for some more track times and rear wheel dyno numbers :-)
I will get mine Dyno'd again, once it's seems to be running smooth. I hope to see 400 RWHP, I'd be quite happy with that. Before the last tear-down it definitely felt more powerful than it did when it posted 360 RWHP.

I use the butt-meter, if im happy with the accerlation, then good, if not, then time for more mods. Really I could care less what power it has, all I know is it burns the rubber in all 4 gears (chirps it in 4th), and is the most powerful truck Ive ever driven. Thats what counts.
