They will give us a special deal- $50 gets 3 pulls on the chassis dyno! That's a pretty sweet deal and they'll hang out until everyone who'd like 3 pulls gets the chance.
If you were on the fence about attending the May meeting on the 17th, this should nudge you over the edge! LOL!!
Remember- EPHS car show in the morning, and then the Club meeting at TPIS from 1-3 (or until everyone is done making pulls).
See you then!

Heck, for $50 I'll put whatever I happen to drive up on it... probably the G8.

Wish mine was in one piece, looks to be mid summer. Would be worth the trip.

That was a fun meeting!
TPiS builds some cool stuff, and the collection of cars in the barn is pretty impressive!

Glad you guys had good weather for this. The Camaro Club had their annual dyno day at St. Paul Automotive on Saturday too.
I was in Nashville for the Good-Guys Nats, freezing my butt off......it was overcast, windy and 61°....

Thanks again Scott for setting everything up yesterday. Weather was great for the show, TPIS was a great place to see, what a nice group of guys over there. Good call on Dickies for lunch too! What kind of numbers did Steve end up with on the dyno? Did Craig stick around long enough to run his car? Wish I could have stuck around longer to see it all.

Sorry I had to miss it, had some last minute family issues that interfered. Did anyone do the dyno? Results?

I got part of a run in. My car was running really lean so we stopped it. I think I'm 99% sure I figured it out. Any time I've changed the tune in my car I save the file, I have probably 25 tunes saved on my computer. But only two main tunes I use, a street tune and a drag racing tune that has a higher fuel shut off and higher shift points. On Friday night I intended to put the drag tune in the car, but it looks like I put in a tune I had from back when I was trying to dial in the MAF sensor. That tune disables the fuel enrichment tables. So instead of the car's AFR being 12.8:1 it was 14.7:1 . I haven't had time to put the fix it, but I'm sure that was the problem. I had intended on running it up to 6900 rpms, and we stopped at 5700, but it did make 403hp/ 371 tq. when we stopped it. I plan on making another appointment when I get the air fuel ratio straightened out and I'm able to run it in the higher RPMs.
Thanks to TPIS and Scott for setting up the meeting. The Eden Prairie car show had a good turn out, hopefully the kids made some money, and the guys at TPIS have a really nice set-up. I hope to get back there soon.

Thanks Scott! Nice to see some guys I haven't seen a while.
A big thanks to Myron, Jim, and Bob at TPIS for spending the afternoon with us.
Okay guys- here's the deal from TPIS-
