You got that rite. I just wish I had got the thing down the track.

This will give me a chance to get more port work done to the manafolds, a cup brace installed and a mid mount. That should stop the wheel hop.

New push rods because the Cheep ones in there have loose tips in them. After the geometry is set up properly.

Then back to the Mtn for some tuning on the 2110 when its all back in the car.

Alot to do but I think it will pay off in power.

Wheel hop eats trannys...

I needed to use your car to test that awesome G Down exhaust on the chassis dyno, rats!

Jake, what time frame do you have in mind? When should we plan to arrive and are you planning on people staying there Saturday night like last year?

I am so ready for this event. I'll be bringing my 1776 with newly installed dual carbs that need to be tuned. I'm sure some engine dyno time will help get the optimum tune for it. Cool

Things will be different this year for those staying the night, since my Nephew from Florida is now living in the house that we all bunked in last year.

But bring your air mattresses and anyone can camp out upstairs in the classroom or my office...

You guys can arrive any time on Saturday morning for the event, and I have planned on staying all the way till Sunday evening so we should have plenty of time to do what is necessary.

Maybe someone will have a 1776 or 1915 that we can test the exhaust on at the event on the chassis dyno. I need to get it returned to them with some results.

I can get Andrew to bring his car that has the 1776 that I had last year. Just let me know which day you would like to use it. He would love to bring it for you to test it on.

Oh and you have a PM.

Saturday would be best. We'll get numbers in the morning the way that it is, then swap the system and get more numbers.

Is anything going on in Cleveland this year to hold up traffic? Or should we go up to Helen and come back down. The Easter egg hunt had us held up for about an hour last year. Shocked

i'm planning to come up Saturday with my '66 Bug. I was hoping to get the dual circuit brake set up done. My question for Clyde is this: Clyde will you have components (master cylinder, reservoir, blue line) available there or should I get that stuff from you here in town? Actually, I do have the reservoir that pops right on top of the m.c. Cool.

Thanks,
Mark
