Because it was a Grand Opening dyno day not a tuning day the point for one of those is to get as many people in as possible to raise revenue and provide them with a good time. If a tuning session is needed you are more than free to schedule an appointment and spend as long as youd like on the dyno and pay for their hourly rate. This was a chance for a bunch of locals to check out the shop and get a feel for if theyd like to have work done there buy seeing it and talking to the staff.
I dont think Rob was rushed and he would probably say the same but I could be wrong. The staff was just telling the truth and wanted to make sure other potential customers got a chance to get on the dyno and see there numbers too while having a good time also.
What I would love to see is some shops to start enclosing their shops and putting A/C in the shop while using exhaust vents to keep the fumes down. That would also allow a lot more consistent numbers and tuning.

Hard to say really. I completed my motor build around last Thanksgiving and really havent had a chance to take it to anything other than local 1/8 mile tracks. Im afraid if I go to anything other than track rentals that Id get kicked out for going to fast without a cage. The best Ive managed so far is 7.15 in the 1/8 which equals very low 11's in the 1/4 but that was on a low boost/timing street tune on pump gas in this hot summer air. Im hoping when set on kill in ideal weather with some c16 that Ill be able to knock off a mid 10 and with some weight reduction and 15" bogarts with hoosier slicks Ill be able to knock off a low 10.

****. any 10 would be ideal.
Do they still make lightenings or were they discontinued? (Dont bash me, I know zilch about fords)
There's a low 11 second white ford lightening in my neighborhood, has a kenne bell on it, his DD. Very nice truck, says Hemi killer on the back glass lol. he also has like a grey 02ish mustang GT thats lowered on black racing wheels and just by the sound of that thing its BAD. Word is it runs 8's, but I cant confirm that
