Dyno Day - Keith Craft Motorsports July 26th?

[tliss]

Saturday, July 26th beginning at 9:00am.

Keith Craft Motorsports is located at 1611 North Central Expy in Plano, just north of 15th street on the southbound access road. The phone number is 972-578-3550. We've got 16 confirmed. Price is $35 for 3 pulls + A/F.

They are very enthusiastic about getting us onto their new above-ground dyno, so let's get a good showing. I know I'll be there.

Here's who we have so far: 15 :banana:, (possibly 16):

ool...I'll probably head out there then. I need to go out and have them look at my electric fan too. I had it hooked up before I brought it in and it worked great...after they swapped the heads, no workie :confused:

Same with my boost gauges...so once I get those things ironed out it's dyno time.....thanks for the info :tu:

Did I mention that Keith Craft will let you run your truck on their dyno if you want? For those of you guys that have always wanted to do this, here's your chance! Try getting the guys at SpeedWorks to let you drive on their dyno!!:evil

TomI stopped by Keith Craft Motosports too. It's one of those scary dynos 8 feet in the air. Load and unload time will be slow. I'll take one for the group and check out my HP numbers in July. We should have all the trucks dynoed by the same person to lower the variables.

[Autothrottle]

I just found out that the SHO club has decided not to attend Speed Works since the price has jumped.
They found a place in Richardson with a Dyno Jet that charges $30 for 3 pulls with A/F:eek: and $10 for each additional pull

I'll try to find out the name of the place today.

I also called Speed Works to find out how much they would charge tomorrow......$70 for 3 pulls :hammer:

too bad, SW just seems intent on losing our business permanently.. guess they dont need nor want it..:nono:

[tliss]

Dab nabbit! I woke up this morning and realized something! The weekedn of the 26th is when my sister is going to be here visiting! Son of a biotch! I'm figuring I'm still in, I'll just probably bring my brother in law and nephew with me. If it's OK with you guys, I'd like to be one of the first trucks to run...looks like I'll have to be heading back early.

By the way, so far we have 9, possibly 10 confirmed! We still need a few more!

Tom

[Crawford]

Tom,

Have you called them to book our day yet?

[jmlay]

I'm in! It will give me a reason to get the truck clean again, been setting 2 weeks when I was out of town... :burnout:

Mike

[02BOLT]

Go ahead and count me in. I,ll check with Mark(Autothrottle) also, I know he wants to get a baseline on his combination. I don't believe he wound up going with the SHO guys on Saturday.:burnout:

[tliss]

Tom,

Have you called them to book our day yet?Yep. We are all set for the 26th. I just need to get him total number of trucks so he can charge us properly. I set it up Friday and told them that we have 8 so far, but I'll update it once we hit 13+ total. Looks like we're at 11, and possibly 12 now, so we're almost there!

By the way, I think they open at 10am on Saturdays, and they may open up earlier if needbe. I'll post the time once it is confirmed. Maybe I'll even bring donuts...:eek2:

I posted a reply over in the General Discussion area on this. Kwick Kar in Richardson is doing a dyno day on the 20th for DFWStangs.net. $30.00, 3 pulls with A/F, 10:00 to 4:00. Go to http://www.dfwstangs.net/ for more info.

tliss: You can add me to the list of those going to Keith's on the 26th. I will bo to both, just to see what the differences are between dynos. I will try to get weather data so I can correct and compare the two shops. Why not? Hopefully, we can all settle on which shop to use on a regular basis. Isn't this fun?!?! :tu:

I may go over there to check it out, but I won't dyno until the 26th at Keith Craft. Hmmmmm...the competition is getting fierce.

Uh...why the hell is the dyno 8 ft. in the sky ? :confused:

The parent's will probably be here that day/afternoon, but I'll "try" to make it... long story.

This would be a good opp. to get a baseline and to see if I have a "c#ck-strong" L or not from the factory. I understand BONE STOCK HP/TQ #s are all over the place... Interesting.

[tliss]

I went into Keith Craft this afternoon and we are good to go for $35 each on the 26th. I let them know that we have 13 and possibly 15 total coming.

Backing out now is not an option :nono:.

I wont be there....truck is running like crappola. It lopes like it has some agressive race cams in it....searching for idle like crazy. Unless by some divine intervention the L gods shine down on me and fix my truck....me and the Kenne Bell will be sitting at home :(

Wes,
Check the plug tightness, unstable idle is the first indication.

[microsuck]

I bet you unplugged a vac line...........

Wes, the EXACT same thing happened to me two weeks ago. Turns out the vacuum line that connects to the top of the EGR valve laid up against the EGR pipe, thus burning a hole in it. At first I thought it was a spark plug as well. I'd almost be willing to bet that it is something along those lines, especially with all of the work that has been done on your truck. You could have easily shifted a vacuum line too close to a hot piece OR maybe one simply came off. Hope this helps.:tu:

lol...to be honest I'm not sure what vacuum line goes where....they are all on the lines I took them off of but that says nothing. The truck hasn't been running right since the head incident....I just put back what I took off....I also know there is an issue with where the upper plenum meets up with the SC....for some reason it wont fit snuggly. I'm gonna try to remedy that tomorrow. All in all it has been a huge PITA since Nov...so much so I didn't even want to get it fixed for the longest time. Now I'm at the point where I just want it to work and not break anymore....or i'll just get rid of it.....it's doing nothing but sitting in the driveway taking up space anyway.

Thanks for the tips guys....and as far as the plugs...I just switched them all out with the blower swap...snugged them all up good. There was apparently an issue with either the tune or some other AF issue because the first 2 plugs on the drivers side were toast....that may explain the lack of top end power at the end of the 1/4 mile...6 cylinders aren't good for much more than 13.6's at 102 apparently.:hammer:

This exact same thing has happened to me 3 times. The first two were fords fault. Its zip-tied safely away now.

[99WhiteBeast]

Ditto myself on that v line to the EGR- cost me $80- I should have just opened the hood and I would've saw it:hammer:
