as for my dyno numbers they were lower than i expected.

numbers were 241/217@florida weather.
old numbers were 240/215@Ted's place (CT).
so, class... we have learned that climate makes a difference.

Yessir. Humidity and temp are heartbreakers.

BTW, what are you doing in FLA? Are you out of the Navy now?

Ya they are. I would recommend Jannetty Racing to anyone, with any car. Ted really knows his stuff. He is a member on this board, along with Nick (11secondsrt4) who is a tech at Jannetty racing. He also owns a cobalt ss/sc.

They are really great people to work with!

I don't know, but I don't really see any SS's around either...the mall would probably be the best bet to meet. We could meet like in front of Dicks or wherever...maybe like 8:45 - 9:00?

It was fun. Darn cold tho. I thought that the dyno was low because people kept getting horrible numbers...turns out it was pretty damn accurate...
