    Thanks Kyle! I live between G-town and Leander in Whitetail subdivision (off 2243).
    It's on jack-stands torn in a thousand pieces. Crap.........I still have the front chrome horn (bumper) to fix. I'm screwed.

    Maybe I can get the car back together and I will call the guy at ProTech and see if he will start early. I can be at his place (assuming I get the car back together) by 6:00 AM. Since I'm last to the party I have to make sure the others have time to get theirs done or I will not bother.

    Just talked to ProTech and we have a window of 7am-11am on the 14th. With me helping strap down cars and what-not, he thinks he can bang out 3 cars / hour for those that don't need to make any changes between pulls. Those folks should show up early and plan to go before anyone who knows or thinks they'll have to make changes. I'm planning to go first since I set this up and won't be making any changes - I'll take whatever numbers I get and adjust ballast for AI legality. He says the max he can handle in this time frame is 6-7 cars if all goes smooth. We have 4 at the moment so hopefully there's enough slack to get everyone through. If things go south for some reason and we run out of time to get everyone done, at least you can still get your annual knocked out and schedule a private dyno session the following week / weekend.

    Thanks Casey. I'll get there early as well. May drag along a SM friend that needs a tech on his car but no dyno.
    I hope to not have to make changes, but you never know. i'm going to throw in the next size up plate to start. Last yr I had 7-8hp margin and good on Tq, not to mention I'm fat eerrr, the car is fat & well over weight min. so 1mm bigger should be good.... as long as the dyno's are consistent between each other...

    I can be there early. And I was the last to post, and know I have to check timing, so I can wait to dyno if the time doesn't allow. If I get the annual done I can dyno during the next week.

    Anyone in the Austin area have four extra Mustang wheels with tires on them I could borrow for the dyno day? I have no wheels right now.

    I have spare F-body wheels w/ tires mounted but they won't do you much good without adapters. They're 5x120.7mm bolt pattern. I think Mustangs are 5x114.3. If you can get your hands on the right adapter, you're welcome to use 'em.
