No one will know. haha! My dad left two voicemail for Denny today to see. I haven't gotten any info back. I was so busy today (camrose and back twice) so I got him to do it.

I don't know if there is a car wash in nisku. You might have to go to Beaumont.

Can anyone confirm if there is a car wash in Nisku or Beaumont? And what type? In other words, has anyone been to a car wash in either place?

We are going to have to detour off hwy 2 between red deer and blackfalds/lacombe. they have started doing chip recoating on that stretch of hwy2 north, and i dont think anyone wants fresh tar or rocks thrown their way. I am thinking we can take the 67th street overpass to gaetz ave then north from there to lacombe/blackfalds and get back on hwy 2 and not lose much time.


in other news.... when the f**** did the drag racing get cut to 2 hrs? it doesnt take 2 hrs to figure out who won what and hand out some trophys. did castrol chop us or what chad?

I'm down for anything like that. Stupid gravel roads. That's how I lost my bloody heat exchanger last year...

its sick. hardly feels like its working either.
so deceiving. they dont "feel" fast, because they do it so smoothly and quietly.

I thought andrew was short shifting after we tuned it because he got to the redline so fast, and you cant even hear the engine winding out.

yeah we need more drag racing time most likely. people will want to cool down after runs, or make changes, etc. i say we finish the show and shine a bit early and go til more like 4:30. just an option, but if we had 3+ hours that would be much better than 2. (especially for those who drove 5+ hours to get there, lol)

just an opinion, but i think it's doable. for those that want to do more showing and shining and shooting of the ****, no reason they cant do that while other start racing.

i doubt it could throw down 315 on a mustang/dynojet/dynamics dyno though. thats the shitty thing about a estimated hp number, it makes you think you got more than you do. i can make my scangauge show consistent 550hp runs just by no lift shifting a run.

did you log hp before your tune? the increase should still be a realistic number you can add to whatever LNF's put down stock (220-230ish?)

i'm fairly sure they would be a lil flexable on time.

Somebody's proud of their tuning :P Thx dude.
The car put down 250-255 on a regular basis before tuning (learndown) and it now hits 300ish with full boost. I have the Rpd and it shows me this info.. torque is well over 300 and its stock.. minus a muffler. In 2nd gear, it pulls like a freight train! Even driving normally, granny style.. give it a little extra gas, and I mean a little, it ***** off almost like it did at 3/4 throttle.. sick difference man! Oh, and I almost forgot.. it's so much more driveable now; no more jerking and launching hard off the line even with an ultra light throttle. It does what I tell it to now.. like it should've in the first place.. Gm sucks at tuning lol
Yes!.. more racing would be better.. 2 hrs seems.. extremely weak.. I thought it was 4 originally.

Racing time has always been 2 hours. Think about it.. 43 cars - a minute a pass, two cars a pass... you're looking at 120 cars an hour, so just about 6 passes a car. I'll talk to Kevin (I think that's his name) when we get there and see if we can even get 2 and a half, because I know what you mean. It's gonna be 32 degrees, that track is gonna be running HOT. Cool down time is gonna be essential.

I have been to the Rims & Rovers in Beaumont. It has manual coin op (or timer, can't remember) wash bays and an automatic TOUCHLESS wash. Debit and credit cards are accepted in the automatic machines.

I did have a nice post written up about that, Damien, but my power just glitched out and I'm tired. I'll explain in the morning, but it may be after I get back from my grandparent's house cutting their grass. Hopefully before because I wanna clear the air. Good night!

I agree. Id never claim that as a WHP dyno number. hence why i said "on the gauge"
but regardless, pre tuning he was at 255ish. so your looking at a gain of 23% over stock lol

whatever the numbers turned out to be in reality on a dyno,
that is nucking futs!
