Well....................this event is in the books now. :D What a great time ! ! ! ! ! All the people who attended this event were just GREAT ! ! ! ! ! We all had so much fun and Mike Carnahan was just the freakin' icing on the cake ! ! ! ! ! Many thanks to my fantastic wife Nancy and my awesome son Dusty. Nancy was the perfect hostess for everyone who was at our home and Dusty was a "Killer" Chef by taking on the barbeque duties of the hamburgers and brats. I will try to post up some more pictures later. :P

[attachment=0:13i9x1vb]IMG_20140610_123907_806 (640x360).jpg[/attachment:13i9x1vb]What a great week! I want to send out a HUGE thank you to J.D. and his wife Nancy for letting me spend two days with them at their home. I had a awesome time meeting some of the Mid Iowa Camaro club members...what a great bunch of people! Hanging out with and observing Master mechanic / master tuner Mike Carnahan didn't suck either! Mike has amazing talent and the knowledge and skills he has are unreal :clap: Thanks again J.D. for a great event!!

Okay...................some of you have been asking for the Dyno Reports so here they are:



Not too proud of this one on the Dick Harrell Supercar. Dyno Report on Phase IIIX DH #30. Only did 514.74 h.p. at the crank (447.6 X 1.15). You have to take the rear wheel horsepower and add 15% to it for the loss through the drive train. Mike Carahan discovered that it was only firing on seven (7) cylinders instead of eight (8). I originally brought Mike Carahan up to my house because this car was running way, way too rich so he thinks I probably have a fouled spark plug so that will be our first step...............replace all eight (8) spark plugs. :x







Dyno Report on Phase II ZL-1 #17. Did 503.24 h.p. at the crank (437.6 X 1.15). :D Not too bad for a 475 h.p. engine package. :lol: You have to take the rear wheel horsepower and add 15% to it for the loss through the drive train. :D







Dyno Report on Tom Henry Racing SS #21. Did 436.08 h.p. at the crank (379.2 X 1.15). :D Not too bad for a 380 h.p. engine package with the addition of Dynatech headers. :lol: You have to take the rear wheel horsepower and add 15% to it for the loss through the drive train. :D







Dyno Report on Dale Earnhardt Intimidator SS #68. Did 409.285 h.p. at the crank (355.9 X 1.15). :D Not too bad for a 381 h.p. engine package. :lol: You have to take the rear wheel horsepower and add 15% to it for the loss through the drive train. :D

Thanks for sharing - pretty strong numbers - now go drive them all so they don't go downhill.



My 2 cents :twocents-twocents: .............. If cars sit & are not driven & only started up once in awhile they WILL LOAD UP. I know!



Gotta drive them - get them warm & be sure the fluid gets warm & brakes are used.



Oh wait a minute............ I drove HRE 2000 & hurt the motor. What do I know?
