Hey Shankin

[a408swinger]

They let you put any Dodge's on the Dyno at Team Ford? I would like to put my car on the Dyno some time. I have never Dyno'ed the motor or at the wheels. I just put it in the car and went racing. Just curious to see what it makes. Ive seen some of the numbers from other cars and I saw what they ran. I didnt think my car made near that much power but I might be wrong. Im not running as much nitrous as they are but I think my car is quicker on the motor. Anyway, let me know and Ill bring my car down sometime. By the way, how much does it cost?

We dyno everything. We also have the wide band hook up for air fuel. Let me know when and we will hook it up.Its 65.00

[a408swinger]

Sounds good. Let me know when you guys have an opening. I'll have to talk to F22 and find out where you guys are located. Do you ever dyno anything in the evening. I wouldnt mind trying to get down there one afternoon during the week. Its just tough for me to get off during the day. I have a painting busness and I usually have to be there. Let me know.

[Shankin]

I can stay late but we have to rap it up by 7.30. Just let me know a couple of days in advance.

Shankin, How do I get a hold of you. Give me some contact info and Ill give you a call during the week about bringing the car down and doing a little tuning, and getting it on the dyno

Hey Tom...

Team Ford is at 770-422-1100. Call & tell them you need to put it on the dyno. They can make runs on Saturdays, but Shankin's team doesn't work every Saturday, so make sure he'll be there. Ask about Jeff Harris, BTW.

To get there, take I-85 South to I-285 West (follow the signs for Chattanooga). Then take I-75 north. Get off at Delk Road exit. Follow signs for US 41 north/Cobb Parkway. This will exit from Delk road like a highway exit ramp. At top of ramp, take a right and go north about 1.5 miles. Team Ford will be on your right.

Call me & I'll meet you up there....

Copperdodge, thanks for the Help Sat. Thats the 2nd time in about 2 months Ive broken a ring & pinion. I thought that was pretty cool how everyone pitched in to help me get the rear fixed before 1st round. That was the fastest gear and axle swap I have ever seen. thanks again for the help. I think if I break another one I might switch to a Dana or a 9inch. see ya

Tom

[copperdodge]

You bet bud. I hope I'd be able to get the same guys on my "pit crew" if I broke anything like that....

[a408swinger]

Shankin, I tried to get a hold of you today but no luck. Ill try again tomorrow. whats the best time to get a hold of you?

[WIKDLX]

408,put a 9 inch under it,some ford parts could help you,lol. What kind of painting business are you in??

[a408swinger]

Im a residential painting contractor. I mostly paint new construction. I have about 6 contractors I work for. We do anything from 1200 sq ft. spec houses to 8,000 sq ft. or bigger custom homes. I have a 5 man crew right now. Believe me, If I brake one more ring gear I may make the switch. I currently have a chrysler 8 3/4 with 35 spline mosers and a spool. I was very suprised it broke on the motor. I broke another gear about 2 months ago at Dallas on the starting line but I was leaving on the sauce. Im gonna have f22 bluprint the new gear before it goes in. He did the gear thats in the car now. I have 2 chunks, one for the 1/8th and one for the 1/4. I have a 1/4 gear in the car now. I can make it a 1/4 on the motor with my 4.30 gear, but have to switch to a 3.90 for spray.
