Default Rivalries
Who's got some unsettled horsepower rivalries that wants to have them settled? Well let all the BS stop on April 26th, I'm lookin for people to run on the dyno in our show. Could be an elimination tournament or such. Or different bracket match-ups. All covered by us. Who would be interested?

Right now it would be HP pulls. Probably divided into brackets or direct match-ups for rivalries. I will talk to Chuck at Abacus to see if he could do 1/4 mile dyno pulls with his software.

kinda pointless to have "brackets" adn stuff.. i mean.. you pull once.. maybe twice. and thats it.. your not gonna get more hp by feathering the clutch =]

i could see like... '4cyl NA group.. and a 8cyl group. Turbo group, Nos group, etc etc.. just to clean it up.

it wouldn't be pointless for those that tune, the Custom Care Car had 2 runs with different ECU settings...first one 215, second one 237. Thats a big enough difference I'd think.... but basically the root of it was that I was just trying to generate ideas and see if anyone was interested. In reality, we could easily do the '4cyl NA group.. and a 8cyl group. Turbo group, Nos group, etc etc like you said.

Hmmmmmm, April? I might be able to do that then. We'll see how the next few months work out for me. I at least need to have a working tranny to get an accurate dyno pull.
