I have changed my mind, if you can believe that, I am not going with a crank pulley. This is due to the fact I just had my super charger rebuilt with a S port. I think it would be a better idea to upgrade the fuel system - Sam pointed out I would lose my under drive pulley so I decided to do MAFS injectors 255 fuel pump. If you wouldn't mind switching me and my 91 to a tune, as I am pretty sure I have I will have to get one.
Thanks for all your hard work getting us a sponsor! If you need anything, let me know. I'll be glad to help anyway I can. Bear |

QUOTE (bear @ Feb 26 2008, 04:48 PM)  I did some research on E85 for my race car due to the high octane level. But what I found is you have to change all rubber components even the small piece in the tank not to mention my girls 02 tahoe is E85 compatible and it cut fuel mileage in half literally of course I am sure no one is building for gas mileage at least I ain't What year car? If it's pre 1989 or so, yeah, then you need to replace most rubber components in the fuel system. 89 and later are compatible for the most part. Most of us are already running alcohol in our systems, since all of our fuel has 10% ethanol in it right now. |

Yes, the car is a older 86 monte carlo SS. But the worst part was after I was told about the rubber I could not get a straight answer on what hose or line to use. When I look at the Tahoe of course it just looks like rubber fuel line. I have not actually replaced the fuel pump in a SC yet so I don't know if there is really a piece in the tank. But, I am pretty positive the O ring rubber on the injectors won't take it unless they are green. Even beside that I have full redone fuel system on the monte carlo fuel cell. Stainless line, electric pump, and A/N fittings...the works. I even then I was told it would chew up my line pump and regulator if I switched over to E85. Not to mention what it would have done to the carburetor.

The new date has been set. Please let me know if anyone can not make it to the new date. Once we get our list mostly finalized, we need to start sending in payments.

For just base line pulls, you can pay Dynosport when you get there.

I.e. 2008 Nebraska Tune? |

I know I have April 15th listed for a payment cutoff date, but the sooner we get them in the better. That way we will know exactly how much it is going to run, and the sooner you are paid, the sooner you will be guaranteed a spot. We have 7 people listed now, but I expect it to be full by April 15th.
The deposit amount is $125. PM me for payment details. Thomas |

$325 has been sent to David. Should cover the $200 charge for the chip and $125 for the tune.

I'll put together a list of possible hotels that are pretty close. If you wanted to take a look for yourself in the mean time, I'd say anything on North 27th street would be good. It's about 5 minutes from the dyno.

I stayed at Super 8 Motel, which is at 27th & Cornhusker Highway. (2545 Cornhusker Highway is the actual address) Real easy to get to from the dyno.
I know there's a few hotels just off the Interstate on 27th street, but don't remember the name. If I get a hotel Friday night, I'll crash at the Super 8. -Melon |

Thought about camping ,but just nothing around the area. I'll have to figure who if anyone is coming with me. and see what I can find. If it's the wife, I'll need to move a bit more upscale than my usually live with it choices for hotels.

There's plenty of camping within relatively close driving distance. Of course, you don't have to, but if your interested, send me a message, and I'll get a few good places for you.
