Big Poppa Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I totally want to make it, but I'm in San Antonio tonight. With Fed mandated 11 hours of drive time tomorrow, I ain't gonna make Tucson so i can be home Saturday. Maybe I could be there in the afternoon... And we could dyno Pimpness if the dyno is that lonely. Do any of your dyno's read in single digits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhatVette Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sorry Steve, I'm out. Tonight's commencement took longer than I thought, family wants to celebrate on the 14th. I had a lot of service undertakings and projects to ask you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devryn Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 OMG Thank you guys! You were awesome! Tim and I had a blast. We gotta come back though cuz it looks like the A/C was left on for his Challenger's runs. Seriously, this was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOXXOH Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I know this is kind of an event but it's also has to do with a vendor doing business so I'm moving this to the ACE deals section. Also added it to the calendar Aw nuts. I rarely look in the ACE deals, but check Events daily. Didn't see this until now, so I guess I lose. Daaaaamn.

FNBADAZ06 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thanks again to Dave and the LPM crew for coming to the shop on a Saturday to provide their dyno services and BBQ to the community. I thought I would see way more ACE people, as this event was setup specifically for this forum, but it was great to see the people who did make it.

Desertdawg Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I think the above posts are right on, we should probably leave events in the events section form now on. Thanks Dave for hosting this, sorry I didn't make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Pedal Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 We had a great day. Thanks to those of you who made it out. The turnout was surprisingly low, but we havd a blast anyway. We ended up going to Firebird after to watch some Jr.Dragsters and some of the division 7 guys. We'll try to do a better job promoting it next time around.

Grayeagle Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thank you LPM for settin this up It was great to hang with other car enthusiasts and talk/listen to gearhead-speak occasionally drowned out by the pure music of a screamin Dyno run. Also a treat to catch up with some of the ACE crew About the BBQ: I am on a very strict diet .. not a 'see food' diet. I only eat what I like. Can look right at a plate of Asparagus and just .. pass. The Jerky was to die for ..the burger was ex-squeeze-eet ..no really .. it was good, I mean it! I actually ate the whole thing. What's that tellya? (ya... it dint run fast enough an it dint kill me 'Tinkerbell' performed flawlessly, layin down two passes on the Dyno without breakin a sweat. She is bone stock right down to the 1st-4th forced shift an all w/123k miles. 297hp @ 5500rpm/313torque @4200rpm at 84 deg OAT on LPM's very cool Dynojet Dyno, the two runs produced identical results What this tells me: to get the most out of her I need to run it to 5500rpm shift points, ..and .. I need more cowbell. Because Less is *not* More -evil grin- Will be chattin with yas at LPM about bits an peices when I can -Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Poppa Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Thank you Dave and all the guys at Loud Pedal for putting this on... I apologize I showed up late and bailed early, but I was in bad shape. Didn't even get to dyno "Pimpness" to set a new low dyno record.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grape Ape Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Aw nuts. I rarely look in the ACE deals, but check Events daily. Didn't see this until now, so I guess I lose. Daaaaamn.
