    I was chatting with Aaron from ATS Racing in Denton, and he offered to put together another dyno day for us one weekend in Dec or Jan if we were interested. We did this about 18 months ago, and the Panteras really kicked rear.

    I'd love to see what the various exhaust mods, tuneups, etc have done. Anyone interested? It's a 2 wheel dyno

    He can do it with as few as 5 cars for $45/3 runs, and the price may drop if we can get 10 or so.

    That was a good time. I'd do it again, even though I haven't changed anything. The Panteras have it easy, doesn't take much to change stock on those (Ferraris--much more expensive, if not impossible--from what I can tell it pretty much takes turbos, a la Norwood), but still pretty damn good for 35+ year-old technology. They are basically muscle cars anyway--that can turn, hehe.

    Oh, and my favorite thing about that day on my car wasn't the HP, but the torque--something like 321lbs!! Torque is always the fun factor to me.

    I could probably get a couple of guys from the Pantera crew to come out again. Just let me know.

    I need some more time to finish my current mods, but I would be interested. January would give me more time to finish. How flexible are they as far as a bad weather reschedule?

    Fine with me. The cold weather should let us produce higher numbers!

    No prob, I finally have my car back together again, although now I need to replace a torn CV boot I just found! I'm hoping that the CV boots are the very last piece of 27 yr old rubber on my car...

    Ok, so how does Saturday Feb 18 sound to y'all? Finally got in touch with the shop (both of us were waiting on responses from the other...sheesh) and that day should be good for them. We only need 5 cars.

    I've got to get a couple of things done to my car (rebuild front brakes, install new radiator). If I can get that done before then, could me in.
