:
It seems to me that in an e-mail that I received from The Dyno Store they indicated that there might be minor tuning adjustments allowed, depending upon conditions, but I will let them answer that officially. That particular aspect won't make or break it as a deal for me as I would like to know where my car is now, HP & TQ wise. I would like to have a reference point somewhere as I don't know how far I want to go with this thing.

Ok, so if I find out that I have the loosest converter with the smallest turbo there, that will still be fine with me. That will still help me in deciding what has to be replaced. A little knowledge is better than none in this case.

You are entirely too young to have bad hearing, Scott.

Nobody is wrong, not even you. We all see this from a different perspective
or viewpoint. I know it is common belief that I am so narrow minded I can see through a keyhole with both eyes open, and it is generally true. If somebody wants to drop a bundle on a "Dyno Queen" that doesn't turn the times that it should, then so be it. It is their money, and far be it for somebody else to pass judgement on that issue. More than likely, Scott, that imaginary person would probably support you in your quest for 1/4 mile ET's much better than you would support him in his trials and tribulations for the dyno throne.

Sorry, I am a tire kicker to the max. I am sure that you are aware that "TOLTK" stands for "The On-Line Tire Kicker", I would hate to be in a crowd that actually did not converse. Sign language, maybe?. And I love car shows, especially turbo Buick, TTA car shows, and sometimes the other shows aren't too bad either.

Schedule a track date: Nay, that's Steve Hurst's job, and he has the bases pretty well covered in that area. Too many events of the same type will spoil the attendance. We might at a later dcate, though. My #'s will be real, Scott, they just may not be real from your perspective. And they will be as informative/cost effective towards my goal as yours are to you.

Good hearing from you, thanks for the input, we will put it to good use, Hope that you and your family are in good health and spirits, I hope that you do well at the drags, I see that you are knocking on 9's door. Say "Hi" to your dad for me. We'lll think about how much fun that you are missing while we are at the Dyno day. Good luck in your quest for the 9's, I am sure that you will be there soon. You and your dad are always welcome to join us at any of the Southwestern Section/turbo Buick events Scott. I still believe that this will be a lot of fun, even for the hard-core drag racers such as yourself and your dad. Donuts, barbeque, dyno, 3 pulls, good clean,(unfortunately) turbo Buick fun. Good company, too. Community spirit kind of thing, dude. Sorry for the long post. even Kevin & Lou Czarnota, the "Bad sheppard" of the turbo Buick community have signed up and are joining the fun for the turbo Buick community spirit, whatever the hell that means. Sounded good, huh? Come join us.
