Tough break, Bob. Hopefully dyno work will soon be complete.

Bob, sorry to hear about the setbacks.

Just out of curiosity, what element of the dyno process requires 2 guys to run it?

I get the feeling that in the past , JR sets it up and SR runs it . Sounds like SR will be ready to get back to work soon . After all this time you don't want to have a problem by rushing them . We know that delays can happen when you go custom , it should all be worth it in the end

Jason, the dyno does not require 2 men to operate. Sr. and Jr. work as a team, Sr. runs the dyno and Jr. monitors the things in the room until they start to make a pull. Then Jr. closes the door and off they go on a pull. Jr. does not have near as much operating time as Sr. Also 4 eyes and ears are much better at monitoring everything then 2. As you know, a lot goes on. With that being said they broke the brake last Monday at 1250 HP around 4800 rpm, Sr. felt it and shut it down. They fixed it, early in the week. Made more pulls. As soon as they put the final adjustments in the ignition boxes, I'll post the results. Everyone is going to be surprised. Motors are real happy. These things are BEASTS. Bob

Well this eliminates Revelocity 1085, and Suntimes 1200 from the pool. I wonder what the remaining 1200 rpm will bring?
