OK, so i've finally got everything lined up.

Many thanks to Don (slowhawk) and Mike over at DEZ Racing (http://www.dezracing.com/) for their help in getting this to happen. And big ups to Teddy (.t.) for being the go to contact between me and don.

So here's the deal: DEZ Racing is being kind enough to host this event, for all of us truck guys here in the eastern forum. We'd like to take advantage of this day, to together to talk shop, meet the other guys from the area, have a lil barbacue, and jump on the dyno!!

The skinny on the cash: 65$ get you 2-3 pulls with a/f, time for minor tuning adjustments inbetween pulls is allowed.

Any questions regarding procedure, tuning, and such are to be directed to Don, just pm him ( slowhawk ) As of right now it's a dyno day only. I don't know if time will allow for tuning and such, and that's additional fee obviously.

The Date: Sunday, Sept 18th

We're looking ot put together a definatly list of participants, And also for people to volunteer to bring food and drinks. So whoever would like to help out, let me know what you'd be willing to do, and i'll put ya down for it.

I'm sure i'm forgetting something here, but we have plenty of time between now and then, to straighten all the details out.

Start posting guys, I really want to get his parking lot filled up. From what i hear, it's not little!!!

As for the location being in Seekonk Mass, unfortunatly, the eastern section of this website covers an immense amount of ground, and we were unable to find a truly middle location. So we went with what we could get. ( sorry western ny and pa guys )

List: --------------- Bringing:

Loudazzlostepside--The loud and the bling
.T. ----------------60 cold ones and 3 more ta....... hoes
JoshLuther---------All his buddies backed out, but he's still gonna be there
Unklej--------------Bailed on us
04blacksilverado----Isn't going to either eastern event!!!
mikezq8ss----------slow and low, that is the tempo, so he don't go...
8altng-------------sts'd red silvy, and a 12 second time slip.
DanaliHD-----------Backed out cause his truck's always broken

So far it looks like everyone in the eastern forum is bailing on us...... low truck count for this one!!!! you guys suck

I would love to make it. But its a little to far for me to go. It takes me 3 hours just to get to the Pa. state line. Plus thats the time frame I will be putting my 6.0 in my truck.

i'll have to check my schedule to see if i'm working that day. If not, i'll go.

I'll bring 2 hot hoe's and 60 cold soldiers.

So where is DEZ at? I am quessing that it is no where near me. Is it a AWD Dyno?

I guess I can make it. Boy thats just in time for the fall truck nationals

So where is DEZ at? I am quessing that it is no where near me. Is it a AWD Dyno?

Seekonk, MA ( near RI ) i don't believe it's awd, but if you're interested, pm Slowhawk

I need to find a AWD Dyno. It sucks, I cant find one anywhere nearbye. Maybe Bryan @PCM4Less?

there's one in Portland, ME. that's a friggin hike from PA though.

w2w in Mich. I'm sure has one.

there's one in Portland, ME. that's a friggin hike from PA though.

its not big enough its fixed or something but they tried a silverado already and said it wouldn't fit but mine is a ext cab so maybe a regular will fit but i think they said the truck they tried was a regular cab and it barely fit and was a scary run and didn't wanna do it again but money does talk so who knows :devil:


man i wanna go but thats when i'm suppose to go get my family from AR. push it down a weekend or two. j/k my plan was to get some certain stuff in my truck then go to a dyno but it would be like two to three weekends after this.

I'm interested. It's a bit far ~220 miles, but I think I can swing it. I could bring some burgers and dogs.

Jeff

Awsome, thanks for biting the bullet. Looking forward to seeing you there. Bring some friends!!!

I have another 4 Tahoes on the way.

I gotta look into it a little more, But maybe I can swing it, Just got the truck dyno'd at Carlisle, Maybe I could get a few more hp outta her by then.

Add a little backpressure and you could definitely get the torque number up.

It's definitely going to be a fun day. I'll do my best to round up some truck guys in NJ...

Jeff

ttt

You guys still up? :drive:

wonder if it's even worth putting my colly on the dyno.... I'm probably barely around 200 at the wheels :turd: but that's due to a HUGE lack of anything aftermarket for it. It's kinda a looker though... I'm interested in going as long as I don't have to work that day. I think I'll just park it and not waste dyno time for the guys that could really use it :cool:

ok, guys get to postin up.........we need some more trucks.....

So where is DEZ at? I am quessing that it is no where near me. Is it a AWD Dyno?

If you haven't been yet, check out denalitrucks.com--- that's where I got this link, it is a list of AWD dynos...

I went to DEZ today. Installed my e-fans there (thanks again, SlowHawk) and dyno'd it before and after. Also, dropped 3LARGE on parts...Gonna spank you open-bed boys with my kid's car seats in the back!

.T. If your talkin' about at the track you better have a bottle next to the car seat and I'm not talkin' about one for the kid.

holy lots of $$$$$ you'll have to share the secret with me. afterall, i refered you to don.

i know the secrets.............

I will swing by. I will need a new Don Kinder tune before the fall nationals anyways.

i dunno about what your sig says........ sslow4.8 broke his in a half an hour!!! anyways, we'll be looking forward to seeing you there.

DanaliHD, are ya going?
unklej, any friends coming with ya?

I will swing by. I will need a new Don Kinder tune before the fall nationals anyways.

He's been telling me about your truck. Looking forward to meeting. :cheers:

Josh...I prey for me that my work gets done before the 18th. I prey for you that you get yourself some squirty-juice :wave-fing

ps torque numbers went up to 362rw the other day while belt slippage dropped my hp off at 336 at 5000 :disgust: ...

Jacob, you've been sworn to secrecy, and so have I! :secret:

I'm most likely going. Will post up when i know for sure.

Right now I'm riding solo... Hopefully there will be gas in my town so I can make it there... There has already been quite a few gas stations running out of gas here in NJ and it looks like it's going to get worse.

Jeff

yeah, true that, it definatly is gonna get ridiculous

The gas thing should be all set three weeks from now.

come on guys, who else is going?????

I can't remember if I already said i am going, but, I am. I might be bringing a buddy with his 05 F350 6.0. bone stock.

cool, i'll add ya. Bring more people!!!!!!! everyone!!

cool, i'll add ya. Bring more people!!!!!!! everyone!!

the way i see it is, the less people, the more time don has to tweek my tune.

the way i see it is, the less people, the more time don has to tweek my tune.

lol, selfish bastard :jest:

i like the way you think though.

the way i see it is, the less people, the more time don has to tweek my tune.
Ya ok :jest: :jest: You know that Don will be spending all his time on my truck :jest: :jest:

Ya ok :jest: :jest: You know that Don will be spending all his time on my truck :jest: :jest:


probably. when i asked if he was gonna offer a deal on a full tune for that day like he did for the dyno day a few weeks ago, he said "there's no way I'll have the time to tune your truck during a dyno day with all the problems you've been having" lol whatever, i just want to break 400rwhp and i'm almost positive i wll.

Ya that sounds about right. I think he is just going to tweak my truck a little bit :devil:

he said "there's no way I'll have the time to tune your truck during a dyno day with all the problems you've been having"

:jest: :jest: :jest: :jest: :jest:

I'm praying that he gets mine built this week! :)

:jest: :jest: :jest: :jest: :jest:

'built"????? :secret2: :secret2: Whats being built??

lots o' stuff. you'll like it!

Does .t. stand for "tank"?

.T. Why is it a big secret? How much $ are you dumping into it anyway??

.T. Why is it a big secret? How much $ are you dumping into it anyway??
I have always felt like that is a very personal question. Its just like asking a middle aged lady "How old are you??". You just dont do it.










So .T. how much??? :jest: :jest: :jest:

Nice. lol

I don't REALLY care. All I know is, I can't spend any more money on mine until I pay off my friggin credit cards.

I never charge anything on cc. And I try not to think about how much $.

Hey Jake :wave-fing

ok........ the day's coming......... any new people coming?

I smell rain

What u backing out??? If so it isnt rain what I am smellin :jest: :jest: :jest:

Umm I think the dyno is indoors. But I maybe wrong. :judge:

do tahoe's clear garage doors?

What u backing out??? If so it isnt rain what I am smellin :jest: :jest: :jest:


Not backing out. Just saying, i think it's gonna rain and their garage is small as a mo fo. especially when it's full of Mustangs. I'm gonna fucking kill steve from smc if i don't have my god damn methanol kit back before then. "give me a week" yeah, that was 3 weeks ago. douche bag

do tahoe's clear garage doors?
yes..

Mustangs :eyes: I have 2 GM's on lifts now :)

As for Sunday it will start at 10am and last till we are done BSing and stuff.In the spirit I might bring the wifes 05 Avalanche and put it on the roller's--breaking records :gay:

On another note I got some boxes in for T's project :devil:

Would anyone mind if I get in and out of there relatively fast? Meaning, if I show up ready to go at 10 and there's a few of you already there, would anyone mind letting me go ahead? The thing is, I'm dropping the wife and baby off in Providence at the mall to meet my buddy and his wife and kid. I told her i'd only be a few hours. She's already pissed at me for going in the first place and this is the only way I could go. I'd love to just come down and hang out for as long as need be, but, that can't happen. If everyone is ok with this, I'll be there. Thanks guys for understanding.

I don't see a problem with that, we'd love to see you there. Plus it'll give me cooldown time. hmmm, every so often things remind me why i'm single........ no offence.

so mikezq8ss has dropped out...... his gash got sandy..... and his projected hp numbers are just too low for DEZ's dyno. Sorry guys, no colorado on sunday.

i'm either going alone or not going at all. Got my SMC kit back. The asshole had it plummed wrong. it was blowing friggin bubbles. unreal. I fixed that but now the problem is i went thru 2 liters of methanol in a 5 min ride. that ain't right. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Bad news, I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow. I need to spend the time preping my project car for paint. The weather is looking good for early this week and I'm hoping to paint Monday. Sorry guys, Maybe next time.

Jeff

what the F, everyone's backing out!!!!!

count me out too. my friggin methanol kit is all screwed up and of course, SMC is closed on weekends. sweet!!! I need Don to spend way more time on my truck than he'll be able to at a dyno day anyway. Sorry guys.

I said I'll be there. I will be. With 3 more Hoes.
I SHOULD BE at the shop and so should Sully 'cuz business is really cranking right now. But we're men of our word...

Plus SlowHawk has BOXES FOR ME!

If Dan needs to get right up on the dyno, that's fine. I'm in no hurry.

cya at 10.

crap, I wanted to go so bad, just got back at 11:30 from englishtown, left last night at 2am. I'll try and make it out.all depends if I can get enough sleep or not.

do it!!!!!

I feel like shit for not making it. I have been sick since thursday. Fucking tonsil-itis(sp). And then just when Don had me all pissed off I was sick and not there it started to rain back home. WTF :bang: Oh well. just have to see every body at the fall nat's.

GREAT TIME!!! Thanks to all who showed!
Too bad Matt didn't make it, the Lightning's took home the gold!

Good to see y'all.

I really wish i could have made it. I was WAY stressed out about my methanol kit and my 9mo old was sick. I know I would have been over 400rwhp. Oh well. Who's got some numbers to post up?

Thanks to everybody that showed and Thanks to Don for all the help. Hope to see all you guys next Sunday at the truck nats.

What where the top numbers???

The L was aprox 350hp and 450ftlbs Gold
Teddy had aprox. 360hp ? torque Silver
I don't know if Sully got me for the bronze I had 333Hp and 323ftlbs NA

Do i get the stock motor award ( well bolt ons, no headers )? 288/311

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/lvstogofst2002/img005.jpg

all i can say is :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

I would have had that gold on lllllllllloooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww boost :bang:

but you, and all the other people claiming this.... and claiming that..... didn't show up!!!! lol..... everyone bailed on us!!!!!!! We got an ok turnout still, from other forums!!!!!!!

the tahoe forum, and lightening forum..... had a better showing at the performancetrucks.net dyno day, than the site putting it on!!!

80% of life, is showing up, according to Sully. He's a wise man.

BTW, chevythunder04 came from englishtown last night, got in at 2 am, and jumped the ferry from long island to new london this morning, and showed up at the dyno day in seekonk mass....... he gets the "trophy of dedication" for the day. props to jesse!!!!!

blah, blah, blah. Don has my dyno sheet from last year showing 372rwhp. and as for 8altng, he would have had top HP hands down. Oh well, glad y'all had fun.

The plan is to go to NED on Friday night. Anyone up for it?

we're all going to NED on sunday for truck nationals...... see the next post.

lol, and i'm not disputing any horsepower numbers........ i'd just liked to have seen the trucks turn the rollers!!!!!!!

ya, he's puttin up some serious power, i wanna see that truck go down the strip this sunday

ya, he's puttin up some serious power, i wanna see that truck go down the strip this sunday
whos putting down serious power :secret2:

you silly.... i saw your dyno numbers in the dyno thread... god damned impressive for a low displacement motor.

Yep, Jesse made it happen. Even got himself lost for an hour and still showed up.

"Sully's a wise man"? He's just great at making his point. If you saw the horror show he put on in front of the mall tonight after having his PCM reprogramed, you'd realize he's crazy! Scares the Hell out of me. Do you think a Cop would believe me if I said "I sware it wasn't me, officer"? Hell no.

Josh's truck pulled hard. Nice work on the "warranty delete mod".
Jake's got the coolest sounding exhaust; ever!

Yeah, the Lightning (Mike, nice guy) put down 358/463.
I pulled 346/358.
I'll edit in Sullys numbers tomorrow. But, I think Josh was right on it or real damn close with a NA motor.

whos putting down serious power :secret2:


what does it pull?

I love my exhaust..... definatly the best sounding 5.3 i've ever heard i think.

I'm a proud man at that setup, and hate the 6 setups i went through before it, trying to find my way there..... lol

Here's a link (http://community.webshots.com/album/455207432wofwKY) to some pix from Brian.

Sully pulled 328/343.

I wish I could have gotten there a little sooner. Like I said when I first got there " I'm never leaving home without a GPS next time".
Thanks for the oppertunity guys!
Thanks to Josh for the "not so consvervative tuning, and Jake for helping me find the way back to the ferry. fewww.....that was close, almost didnt make it. :nod: .
I'll see you guys on saturday. I cant wait for sunday to roll around.

Later,
Jesse

Hey guys, Nice to meet all of you, wish i could have stayed longer. Hopefully I can make the truck nationals, we'll see how camping goes.

Next time you guys all get together let me know, I love meets.


Oh and i guess I should post my dyno right?

hmm wish i had joined sooner i live 5 mins from DEZ lol

Sully got his cam, springs, rods w/ a new tune done the other day at Dez's. Put down 385/360 at 165 mph in 3rd! There's an azz load more to do to it but his whipple is cooked so it's over for a while for him.

Got my tranny built up this past week. 2500 Yank (Envoy) converter, billet plants, Vette servos, etc...truck is haulin' ass like I've never imagined! Going in for the full top-end this week down at Dez's. I'd like to see 450ish on the dyno...keep you posted...

getting super busy at the shops these days

how the fuck did you blow up the whipple?

T~ Hit me up on when you are going to be at Dez's. I want to see that thing on the dyno.

how the fuck did you blow up the whipple?

Whipple blew itself :) Just a bearing noise that needs to be looked at :)

T~ Hit me up on when you are going to be at Dez's. I want to see that thing on the dyno.

Hey Matt,
I'll let you know when I go to pick it up. Prolly around 11/4 when I get it back.

Like SlowHawk said, it's a bearing thing in Sully's truck. My Whip's fine and normal. Tranny just got done too!
