Amy and me vote for waiting till the 16th as they really won't give a crap cuz you ain't one of thier buds Lots of "professional" places are run like a hobby. The shop that I had build Amy's roll cage is/was a tuner shop that didn't think twice about ripping off a young Marine if they could. It got to the point that I had to go by the shop every day to get any progress on the cage. Good help is hard to find.

Midget,

On a purely epicurean topic, what is your pleasure for 4/16 din din?   BBQ pig parts, OR, BBQ cow parts?   Need an answer asap, as I will need to spend some time picking the mating brew. . . . . .    although, as always, there will be a variety from which to choose. . . . .       (Hoping to score some 3 Floyd's Pig Destroyer, though. . . .)

Apologies in advance to our Aussie & Kiwi buds. . . . .      Sorry, no sheep or lamb (either deceased or "on the hoof") to be available for the festivities.   Too many neighbors complained about the 'Non-Silence of the Lambs' at the last go round. . . . .

(Not like I get a vote, but...)

My vote:  wait until 1:12pm on the 16th.

To the unwashed and unknowing: Dark Lord Day is the only day of the year to buy Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout.

Wait until you've pizzed him off and he starts making up names for you!

I did call NVR and informed them that I've cancelled my appointment.

[Captthundarr]

Bet they were real upset and wanted to make things right for ya.
Onward and upward....

A thought has occurred to me.  I came in with the adapter plate and checked it, I brought in the drive hub to see that it mated up, I checked and measured everything – they clearly knew I wasn’t dinkin’ around.  They’re probably not used to customers who have made serious attempts at research and seeing that things are done properly.  Someone who has read Harold Bettes’ book - someone who comes in with a checklist, asks a bunch of questions, and has an experienced dyno tech on the team.

They’re likely used to customers who are just looking for a big number to brag about.

It’s possible we may have intimidated them, and when they finally figured out that I was really serious about doing this right and getting good data, they may not have been up to the challenge. 

All speculation, of course, but I can’t see me doing business with them in the future.

The flip-side is that I know people who have had engines built, dynoed and prepped at NVR and have gotten good service, decent work and fair prices.  So other than the bile I’ve already vented from my spleen, I’m just going to let this one pass.

[Stan Back]

When?

[Milwaukee Midget]

When?

Oh, yeah -

I'm scheduled at T and T in Gurnee, Illinois for the 17th of April.

Or were you asking when I was going to let this one pass?

I got this one Stan....

YES

To the unwashed and unknowing: Dark Lord Day is the only day of the year to buy Three Floyds Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout.

As you already know, 3 Floyd's Dark Lord Russian Imperial Stout is only available for sale 1 day a year, only at the brewery in Indiana, AND, only if you can manage to purchase an "entry ticket" from their online sale.

This year, the 8000 tickets available sold out in less than 2 minutes, again. . . . . . .      3rd year in a row I've missed out, not too happy about it.

While optimistic enough to keep the experience on my "Bucket List", it appears that it is going to be at least as difficult as scoring BMC dyno time in the vast wasteland that is ChiMilMadford-haven. . . . . .

I wanted to be John Lennon, but the test said I was Paul McCartney. . . . .

I wanted to be Gandalf, but the test said I was Elrond. . . . .

Guess I'll just have another beer. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Do they have the same 5" digital cfm sensor?    Did not see that one on their webpage.

Yup.  Go to "Facility" tab, and you'll see it.

I was just trying to figure out how we'll hang it from the Weber.
