Very cool so far. I don't want to exclude Adam so I'm just going to wait to hear from him before starting another thread on this with a better description. It looks like we've got enough already. Thanks for your flexibility everyone!

Hi Mike,

I think we have a family event planned for 7/26 so I'm a "maybe." If you have enough cars for 7/26, then go with that date. If our plans do change and I'm free on 7/26, I'll just tag along.

Crap!

I feel bad that we picked a date that you can't make. Maybe you can sneak out though. We'll keep our fingers crossed.

I get the feeling everyone is probably subscribed to this thread, so I wanted to update it here and now. I'll post a new thread in a week or so to see if anyone else is interested and I'll put all the info in the title so people know. I think we've got exactly six that committed since the date change, so we should be OK. Hopefully some of the people that were on the fence will see the new thread and sign up again.

Why don't we look at August dates before making any definite decisions? We're free (Kevin and I) all month, as of now....and it's my understanding that TT doesn't have anything on the boards as of yet.

Mike, how about doing a quick date poll?

Argghh!

You're probably right, but I'm sure you and I know I have put more time into planning this thing than it's actually going to take to dyno all the cars. I'm pretty sure some of the people that responded don't log on every day so we'd have to hope everyone chimes in. How about I make one before the weekend and hopefully everyone who's interested will give us something before Monday?

Why don't we do a day in July and August. How many 928 can we dyno in one day, six or seven?

Thats fine. any output from several cars would be very valuable to all of us.
I would say a click on the straps wouldnt hurt anything, but thats fine. maybe loosen one up and do a run. Just make a change on the strap to see how much hp it costs .

But, if you can only just provide the data, that will be great.

Now Kevin keeps a sharp eye out on what they are connecting to, and how tight they strap down, because we don't have any more spare control arms for them to bend on us.

I'm kinda thinking it's maybe not such a good idea to cinch down tighter than normal. But I too will be happy to monitor the phenomenon with Mike to the extent that anything reveals itself with the various cars. Ok?

Mike, I'm happy to assist in any way I can, of course.

I only have 8/23 and 8/24 open I will be busy every other weekend. Maybe 2 dates would be a good idea if we can get enough people together.

Oooo, that's not a bad idea, guys.

So, since enough people seemed to like 7/26, we may as well keep it. And if anyone wants to go back in August, we can do that too!

Mike, I apologize for throwing a wrench in your works! Please forgive me!

And I haven't seen one, so I just wanted to be sure I didn't miss something....did you start a new thread?
