I've got a fuel pressure regulator that I use to adjust the A/F ratio. That's the only legal way I know of doing it other than a tune (which I don't have).

Since your not racing w/ us yet (I had assumed that from the start), then there is no issue. Once you do, no mid-weekend adjustments. And once you do adjust it, you will need a new dyno sheet.
Yup. Since I know I'm going to be adjusting my A/F after MSRH I didn't figure it would be worth it to dyno there and then again after. Planning to get my comp license at H2R in February.
Explanation is that you take the role of series director and you will jump in with advise and caution against possible illegal activities....was not meant as a shotQuote:

Put me down. If for whatever reason I still dont have my crap together I'll just forfeit the $75 or we'll get to find out how much power the Tundra makes. :roll:
I've been doing pretty much the same thing, only around my neighborhood.Quote:

Ehh-our motors our broken in once they reach operating temp.
Bryan,
AI motors seem to be glass jaw since we've grenaded quite a few in the last few seasons..
Mosty
Patterson
Dulaney
Rock
Neary (multiple)
Robertson
Cook (blown head gaskets)
Grrr... What fun!
We have to baby our crap till it's "seasoned"...
My engine builder told me to start it and beat the shit out of it....that was 6 years ago....Quote:

Also, I'm going to put a fuel pressure isolater and run a guage in the car.Quote:

so we have on the list:
Jerry
Wade
Al
Dan
Francis
Randy
Ben
Gary
Robert Rudduck
Put me down if you want one more to get the total cost down. I can bring some more TTers as well, just say the word :)
The above was posted on 12/19, you have me on ignore or what? ;)Quote:

Expecting start at around 10 am or so.
Randy,
As a thought, are you going to give priority to race cars and TT cars that require a dyno sheet in order to compete? Seems like we've done this on past dyno days so that those who really need it get done. It would suck if, for instance, Pranav's Tundra blows the dyno up early in the day due to all that massive Toyota power.
I have communicated to Tony that we have 10-12 NASA CMC cars that will be wanting to dyno on Friday. If he wants to work in others, I assume he has that proagative. We haven't reserved any time slots. Just let him know to be ready for some dyno sessions. I'm sure we can get everyone in over the weekend.
I won't have the CMC car. I'll have the Mini there if we need more cars to get the 'discounted' price.
WHAT? Why not Gary?Quote:

It'd be silly not to throw in rings and bearing since it's down this far. Whole thing just snowballed to more than I expected.Quote:

I'll be back on your bumper full time in 2014... got an Ironman record to beat.
Randy - I've got a new Corvette guy that *really* needs a dyno - can he please crash in with you guys on Friday if possible?
Also - did you hear for sure if the place will be open to people who need it on Sat?
Makes no difference to me but we need some kind of order to make sure those of us that got in first don't get pushed aside by these guys wanting in at the last minute.Quote:

Besides, don't you want some fresh fish to talk into CMC racing for next season? ;) Sell C5Z, buy CMC car, buy trailer, buy truck, buy race gear = no extra money yaknow. Could be an easy sell :)
Why didn't you just say you needed more balast on the drivers side??Quote:
