I call myself out to actually have a 951 by then? Kind of a low goal...

I believe I've got the tape here with me, but no way to digitize it. Next time I go home to Louisville though I'll grab my dad's camera, a/v to USB adapter and send it out.

What about that guy with the "I use vipers and vettes for TRACTION" stickered on the back of his car? He's been at a few fests that I've been to, but I don't think he's gone on the dyno. Time to put his money where his (car's) mouth is? His setup looked pretty intense, too.

yeah its always needed to be tuned or has an injector leak yadda yadda. Wouldnt want to race him though. I'll bet Kevin will chicken out- oh cant turn the boost up on my new motor not broken in blah blah - i'll be taking home most hp this year just need to go around and pull some DME relays- everyone leave your hoods open.

Last year I put down about 390 whp at 20 psi, I've been on top of the heap for the past two years. In the history of 944Fest dyno shootouts, the dogs with the loudest bark don't really have the best track record.

While the smack talking is fun, I have some concerns with dyno availability. It is my understanding that the dyno guys are already working the event for the NASA crowd, I doubt he'll be sitting there empty for a dozen 944 guys to try out. The racers use dyno numbers to fit their race class, so I'm concerned that there will probably be a LOT of guys needing to strap on Friday. Trav will need to give us some specifics before we can be sure this can happen.

Hmm I see, Dan I was planning on 400rwhp but Now I'll have to turn it up a bit, lol..

You realize are cars look the same so, if you get a higher hp, I will claim your car as mine, lol..

I sold them to Tool. I was going to shoot for 700rwhp but that is so last year. I think I will be done with 400rwhp well before the fest So, I will probably be on to something else..

I FINALLY got all me parts back from Jet Hot etc.. so I will be assembling the car in the next couple days.
