The dyno event is at Pro Dyno Tech in Thorntown, IN. I still have 2 spots open if anyone is interested. PM me.

FYI: I'm trying to trade the V for a Vette so if anyone locally is interested and wants to see it on the rollers come to the dyno day!!

damn. i thought it'd be on my way to lafayette but thats a good 30 miles further south. I'll probably just go to the cruise/dinner/whatever

*edit i guess its not really 30 mi south since i'd be going to the south side of lafayette for the cruise anyway

what time does the dyno start? I'm not planning on dynoing, just watching/hanging out

what time and where is the PAPA group meeting. I'll be going down to the Dyno event and wouldn't mind driving down with you guys.

Meijer:
Get off at the highway 26 exit on Interstate 65 south. Turn left (east) and go about 1/8 mile and it'll be on your right. Can't miss it. I'll be there around 3-3:15 and we'll try to leave around 3:30. I don't have any food to grill out. We could arrange a spot to eat dinner tomm if everyone is feeling up to it.

PLEASE call if you are coming but will be a little late.
765-714-7817 my cell

Look forward to seeing you guys tomm.

Nate

Cool. I'm planning on getting up @ 7am (8 purdue time) and will hopefully be on the road by 7:30 and to the dyno around 9 my time. Its 114 miles so i'm guessing ~ 1.5-1.75 hrs since most of it is I65. I have both the Dyno and Meijers in my GPS already so i should be good there. Nate i'm gonna program your number into my cell phone right now. I'd definately be up for dinner. I didn't figure anyone wanted to grill out since it'll be dark by 5:30, lol.

The dyno event will PROBABLY run untl 4-5PM so you will be just fine. I'm making a run list as we speak. We will be running RWD cars, then FWD cars, then diesels last since they smoke up the shop!

I had fun too, glad you guys came down and chilled for the dyno. I wish I could have come to the cruise too, as it was I didn't get back to Purdue until after 630 after 400 miles of driving today....

I was pumped about what my car made though. 412 rwhp / 418 rqtq

I want heads now though.
