i have no numbers, the truck ran prety good, made the trip there and back and i did get a couple of races in with some bikes. that was fun. i have some valvetrain noise i need to look into. it just seems too loud. it has always been loud but now it is too loud. i will probably go run a gtech later just to get some idea of where i am at.

the bike i raced was a 600rr. i killed him from a stop. on a roll race he got the jump on me and i had to run him down. he had me by a car or so at 30mph and i had him by a car or so at 130mph. that was full weight, with a passenger and closed exhaust so there is a lot more in it. that was prety much my first full run and it felt prety good.

I got told the same thing. He said I need to put some 20s or something with a smaller sidewall before I was allowed back on the dyno. Now Synergy has the Dynapac so I can just take the wheels off. Easy solution for me. Too bad you didn't have other options. You just gonna wait till you get the 18's on there man?

I learned the hard way recently that you should never run a air compressor on a GFI circuit or it can kill the start capacitor, which it did to me. use a regular circuit....

oh ya, i love that big garbage disposal under the hood

In a sad way I'm glad he didnt let you dyno. I've seen the damage a tire blowing at 70 can do to a bed. I'd hate to see a tire at 150 rip half your bed apart.

After what happened with my driveshaft coming apart on the dyno, I'm a standing member of the "better safe than sorry" club as well. Sounds like you have some things you can do while you wait for your rims/tires to come in anyway.
