I think thats the time I'll be leaving my house
I'm down to meet up with folks at 9am somewhere in Sac and head out.
They have a spot at the shop where we are going to BBQ or what?
If anybody has a nice size cooler and wants to fill it up with ice, I'll help fill it up with some dranks.

Ever played EINS ZWEI DREI TRINK? It's fun. You yell EINS ZWEI DREI TRINK and you slam a shot lol. Can't beat that. Maybe if they were jello shots..
Yeah, we're going to be BBQing in the parking lot. KC said he'll set up his trailor and canopy, all we have to do is bring the meat. I figure I'll bring hotdogs and hamburgers.
I got a couple coolers I can bring, iced, if you want to bring some sodas and stuff GTA.

I'd come if I had something to dyno... I currently have a 3.1
unless a dyno is telling me what kind of mpg i'm getting and the lifespan i can expect out of this motor while I'm building the rest of the car up, i'm not interested. lol
I'd be all over it just for the BBQ and thirdgens if it wasn't in the bay area though.
1. i hate the bay area
2. i hate traffic (refer to number one)
3. i don't drive more than an hour for BBQ, lol

Haha, buncha youngstas under 21.
Dizturbed - the drive is half the fun.
It's not like we're going on a weekday during 5'o traffic.
I don't think everyone going is there just for the dyno, more to gtg.

nice pick 87, hope you get to bring that baby out!
And no, I'm not checking IDs. As far as I'm concerned, you're all over 21 as long as you're mature and responsible. HOWEVER anyone that is unable to drive (few too many brewskies), will have to have someone drive for them until they're good to go.
And yeah, alot of the fun is the drive, the people, the gtg. Come anyway disturbed, you'll have fun! I personally know at least two people driving a long distance just to have fun, not to dyno.
I also got a call from KC this morning confirming the dyno day, and we're still good to go.
I'm actually going to be there really early to set everything up and stuff, probably around 8. You guys can trickle in from 9 to 11 or so if you want.

I did find it on autotrader.I am trying to get ahold of him so I can go down and look at it and buy it.I am going crazy right now without a nice quick car to drive.We've been driving our 91 4runner around and it is slow!Our 87 4runner is getting a stroker 22re 4 cyl built and it will have about 30-40 % more power and it will be pretty quick,for what it is anyway.

Is this gig full up? I got a friend with a twin turbo 300ZX that is interested if there is availability. If not, I'll tell him to take the Z car somewhere else.

What is the final tally of cars confirmed to be in attendence?
If I don't get my front end fixed soon I may be questionable. It's in the shop now. I hope it doesn't cost a fortune.

Keep us posted with the results.
Any predictions on HP numbers?
We used to have a prize for closest guess to actual number?

Does this shop have a wideband O2 with the ability to log air/fuel ratios to RPM? If so, I may be interested in dynoing my Procharged 91 Formula. Not much reason to attend otherwise.. I don't think I'd win the car show. 
I've met a few guys from this group when we had a 3rdgen gathering a few months back, Travis even has my old transmission in his car. So hopefully no one will mind if I show up..

Step Testing With Fuel Curve
$25.00
RPM incremental testing with 4 gas analysis.
Seems like they have a good amount of tuning equipment and experience.
Hope to see you there!

I would think to do the incremental testing it will be additional.
I'm definitely more interested in seeing a/f ratios to progress on tuning a chip for my ecm.
Knowing hp/tq/1/4 is just a bonus.

With the current 2.77:1 gears, it will spin the tires and get sideways anywhere below 50mph or so.. that is all I can base it's power on right now..

Okay guys, talkd to kc this morning.
He says that he's willing to throw in windband o2 a/f readings for free, but he's unsure how much it will slow the process down.
We figure that we'll do it for the people that want/need it, but if someone is just interested in getting hp/tq and having a good time, then we'll leave it out to save time.
If it doesn't take too much extra time, we'll get everyone on the wideband. But it's all time dependant.
Once again, it's free!
He also said that they do have the equipment to do PROM tuning (all tuning needs to be set up in advance) but the guy they had doing it decided to move on to other things. He said that if anyone was willing to work with them on PROM tuning, he'd be more than willing to work with them. They are able to tune most everything else though. Prices are $125 an hour, and dyno tunes usually last 2 or 3 hours. I THINK that's the price, I may have misunderstood.

Very nice.
I'm sure in addition to the heads/cam it puts out a lot power.
Would like to see what it does at the dyno.
The P600B setup is where I'll be starting as well most likely.

So since you can get a wideband reading for $55 along with the dyno pulls, are you going to bring that baby out??
