Erik ditch the m7's, run 380's JCW, theyve pulled those up to 240whp. The m7's seem to be not as easy to tune, shoot me a pm with your number

Work has been nutz at the office and I've been travelling too, plus the wifey stopped working Saturdays, so not a lot of time for events lately. Of course, that frees up cash for mods and tunes. ;-)

Will definitely make the BMWCCA event in the fall, and hope to hit something sooner than that...

I can IM luke but I do not have Chris Deal's or Doc's info. Can you touch base with them for me please.

I will post the list as I have it. I still have not heard from Jan. Left some voicemail and email messages.

Dan is putting the Helix 380s in for me, more b/c I'm a non-conformist than price. ;-) I just shot Luke a PM and glad to see "racing Chris" will pump it up too, before the next track meet! I'll send a note to Doc and "auto-x Chris".

Still have not heard back from Jan. I have left email, PM and voicemail. So I still cannot confirm. I spoke to the Dyno guy yesterday and he is a smart guy.

As soon as I hear back from Jan, I will post.

I'm in for this.

Please make sure to PM me as I don't tend to watch the forum often.

How many pulls are we getting on the dyno for the $ and what kind of Dyno. It would be nice to know.

thanks

chris

Jan would be the best person to answer. I am guessing a baseline pull and then one or two more once he has worked his magic. Its a Dyna Pak, which is Jan's Dyno of choice.

The other thing is to make sure that your Coop is in tip top shape. Clean/replace the air-filter. Make sure that you have no boost leaks. Check and make sure that you blower belt is in good shape and not slipping.

Due to the schizoid nature of these two threads, I'll post it here too... I need a time slot on Friday... Saturday won't work for me...

Thanks!
Gotta order my cam now...

I'm coming from VA and leaving mid-morning, so, I could be good for either late Fri or first thing Sat (best since I'd like to get back on the road north).

We are on!!!

Could you guys please PM or email me your email addresses. I want to send out an excell spreadsheet, so that you can fill out what mods you have. I would like to group manual and auto trannies together to simplify the set-up on the dyno.

You can also mark down your preference for Fri-Sat and what time. I am going to try and accomodate the guys that will be making a road trip to get here.

Wooohooo!
