Sexual Chocolate put down a good run on the rollers today! Great A/F all the way across the spectrum and 224Tq and 186HP at the wheels...not bad for a 78/79 engine w/ L-jet on it... The car is looking GOOD TOO! Brian is doing a great job on this save!

That sounds better! I thought I heard Mark say something in the 180's, but thought that was a bit low, especially when compared to the Tq figure. 195 is VERY NICE INDEED!!!

Car sounded GREAT too!

Based on a 16% driveline loss you are only missing a couple of horses but the ones you have make more Tq than normally attributed to that motor! NICE! My hats off to you Bri, great job on this one! We have a few other *** folks that have been at this FAR LONGER than you have and STILL barely have cars they can drive!

What's the cost of a dyno in that neck of the woods. Heard a guy around here was doing them for $65? Haven't called, but that seems just a little too "reasonable".

Mark Robinson was running the PCA Dyno yesterday. It was a good deal...I had two runs and I spent $80. My understanding is that these prices are a once a year type thing.

Used to be $60 w/o A/F for two runs and then add $15 if you want A/F on the runs...

I'll believe it when I see it...I have read all about it and I certainly hope it is true and happens, but we have seen Bernie Eccelstone pull out of agreements before, even at the last minute after MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars have already been invested.

I will certainly be out there as much as possible if this comes to fruition!
