I wouldn't mind stoppin' in as well... I looked on the website but didn't see an address - lemme know when you're Grand Opening is?
I've only had my Mini a month so far. DragonnMann gave me your card I believe at a G2G @ Quaker Steak & Lube (Milford) last week?

WooHoo! first dyno!

Blubelle pulled a 169.5 whp today. With an estimated 20% power loss from the drivetrain, she's between 200 and 205 hp at the flywheel. Just in the range that I expected with my mods.

no...he pulled 187whp. Him and MGCMAN wanted to compare their MINI's, and Ralph got a higher number.

187 without an ECU is awesome. Must be doing something right with the constant attention to the rest of his setup. He's only 15% pulley, CAI, cat-back and coil-pack right? Must have gotten an exceptionally fine factory motor to begin with.

Yea, you have to keep in mind that he has a 7hp jump from the factory because he has an 05. He has: ALTA exhaust, ALTA CAI, Screamin Deamon Coil pack, 9mm wires, colder plugs, ALTA 15% pulley, and other various parts that I don't think effect the performance of a dyno. His MINI was extremely consistant to, unlike mine was. I pulled like a 131, 141, and like a 132.

He will post up the dyno sheet soon, and you can watch the video on HMA.

You missed the viper GTS-R it only put down 425 HP.... and didn't even use his 300 shot of nos

The Grand Opening at Half Moon Auto was a blast. Cars were running on the dyno all day. I would have liked to seen more MINIs run but I had fun.

Justin! Those name's on the site are a bit confusing! Just a suggestion, try putting the names on top not the buttom of the video. It says George's Cooper S under the Viper GTS video.

And there should be someone by the name of Cooper stopping down possibly this weekend to see you. I told him that you would take care of him.

I think the pictures and the videos are cool, but it may be because I am in them.
