Congrats Mike and all involved! I agree bad weather dyno day will show less power. But what I don't get is how you guys get into a dyno with dyno operator you trust,whenever you feel like it or when the weather is good. My experience is when my guy calls me To tell me what day his dyno is freed up I gota go no matter what the weather is or it could be months before he gets a open time to try it again ......anyway congrats hope your shoulder surgery doesn't keep ya down to long so you can get on the track soon!

While I will agree I am very fortunate to be taken extra serious buy some very competent folks in the automotive motor sports industry. I still have to deliver on my end. For example when someone is squeezing me into their Dyno schedule I need to be agreeable about which day works for them. And if it's raining that day then that's that. I would have loved to have dynode on Monday of this week. 40 water drains 37° 29.92 on the barometer. That there is horsepower air.

My Blower motor is sitting at the machine/dyno shop right now. I could have it dynoed any day I want. We watched the weather in the past and did it off the forecast. They have plenty of other engines they can put on the pump if I decide to wait and lots of those guys don't care about the air and use their time just to tune to peak HP/Torque and make sure the engine is broken in correctly.

I have decided not to dyno this one because it's just a street car engine and will see very little track action and I can spend the money toward something it needs much more...
