Well today was pretty fun for me. The shop I work for offers a mobile dyno service, and on our way to the largest Ford / Mustang car show on the west coast our box van broke down while towing a big industial generator.Our roadside attempts to get the van started (which involved me crawling under the hot van on the shoulder of a busy highway) went nowhere... so we towed the box van and trailer with my CA powered Sileighty

Then I got to do my first dyno runs today, I put down 150 hp @10psi with my clutch slipping, and the stock KA diff on a conservative dyno. I hope to be able to hang with the Mustang guys next year... most of them only make 250hp and 300ft lb, so I know I can match the HP torque is a different story.

Well that is my non- mainttainence post of the day.
