When we need to start looking at planning for the Dyno. Are we wanting to do it again, and what kind of interest is there. We have normaly done this at the end of January. If we are shooting for that date range, I need to start planning with the shop soon.
So, this is a free-form brainstorming session. Let me know what you guys are thinking. _________________

I'll dyno your V6 tony!
its unlikely I"ll have the berlinetta in "Dyno" shape, but I'll come hang out and maybe put the fairlane up on the rollers.
If we start a final count, I'll have a 100% answer then. _________________

Anytime sounds good to me. Just need to put in for the time off. Shouldn't be a problem though.
Car for sure, maybe the Jeep but that's a iffy. |

170rwhp and 210ft/lbs @ 4800rpm....is my guess....I used to be able to get a nice one-wheelie-peelie out of that thing, now it just stumbles and floats valves.... Time to do a point/plug gap check, and timing check. I might also check how much vaccum the carb is pulling....
anybody wanna watch/drink beer/assist with said diagnostic this weekend? _________________

McGee's Auto, in Lake Oswego, OR. (Suburb of Portland)
We have done this for 5 years now. We normaly do a Fri/Sat/Sun thing, meet friday evening for Pizza / BS'ing. Saturday we do the Dyno, then usualy a short cruise, then we party / drink / BS saturday night. Sunday we usualy do a groupe breakfast, and a short cruise if people are up for it, then everyone usualy starts heading home.
As Always, we will provide floor space for people who need places to stay (we will make sure everyone has a place to sleep). We can also help with hotel/motel arrangements as needed.

I'm in. As soon as the date is firm, I can put in for the time off.
I'd like a baseline on the 89 before I start with any mods. If I can get the V6 down there also, I'd like to see what it can do. |

Nobody wants my input on the date.
Anytime in January works, I'll chime in about two days before the date and decide if I can bring the car. |

Whatever dewmeister did +1
Hell, maybe I'll just try tuning the car.
As far as timing goes, anything works for me. Just as long as I can request the time off before hand, and the car isn't broken I'm all graavy! |

Man that’s a long way to drive an un proven car, even if we can get it running.
Crap. January hummmm, it is two months off...Should be able to get her up there,
But man the rain and the cold and now we have shorter day’s,… that stuff seriously hamper our ability to work on the car out side...
Ya…. Iam wine-ingggggg
Shoot…. last year…..we were going to go But… we (he, my son) totaled it the day before Dyno last year…
