Should be right in the rules to not post 1 post twice. I doubt it was deleted for any other reason.

As to inflated #s I think that's more so about the Dyno Jet, my car laid down 373 as with another car with almost the same setup, it also put down 37x both on FTs dyno, sure enough AAM's dyno jet managed to see 43x

Glad to see another tuner option, this guy as with JE performance! Did you have it dynoed in Annapolis or At hills? I noticed the dyno said Annapolis. I work right outside of Annapolis, be nice to have a shop that close to me!

and see i have heard the other way around, that the dyno jet dynos where the ones that where more accurate and the dnyo dynamics where the low ones..
no there is no shop in annapolis. it is mearly where he stores the dyno and maybe do some stuff on the side.
all of tuning and performance work will go through Hills garage. weather the tuning is in annapolis or at hills garage. the dyno is portable and set up just as if it was a in floor setup just on a trailer as you can see in the pic.. its totally up to frank smith or what ever is easier.
but also hills garage is not that far from annapolis.. 30 mins or less

Fo' shizzle Lance, I spoke to Frank about helping with some cosmetic stuff for my upcoming show and he said that you were the next project that would be taking a chunk of time. Stay safe!!

^^^ i sure do man i sure do.. but paying all that money to be a sponsor on here gives you the power to erase all of the bad thread or experiences that happened at the shop instead of manin up and fixing the situation...
frank is a up and coming shop with great potential

Good point Mike. A lot of the runs down the strip last year were not side by side racing. There is plenty of time during the day to put your car down the strip multiple times without racing anyone allowing you to push the car as hard as you want.

Definitely worth the trip out imo for nothing less than to have a safe place to run for a day. The weather did not cooperate entirely last year which kept the speeds down, but there is enough room to get up to around 130-140 depending upon where you start and how good your brakes are
