Pembroke Pines/Miramar/Hollywood Z Meet
Remember when you first took the AMG to the meets at Target? I was helping him tighten center section of his wheels, they were loose...you were there, he has a silver Z with flat Black Volk GT-Cs.
Dam what a long day it was today. I was at Japtrix getting tuned and after getting the car dialed in we decided to give it one last pull on the dyno and my cog belt lost all its teeth. The thing is you can't just go to an auto parts store to buy one. I had to order it and have it delivered over night. I bought 2 just in case it happens again. I drove back without boost and my car felt like weak sauce. The numbers were not impressive at all. The tuner thought my clutch was going bad when he noticed a funny smell everytime we did a pull. We then realized it was the belt that gave off the smell. That thing must have been getting worse on every pull till it gave out. Maybe that's why the numbers were low. We were just under 340whp on the mustang dyno. Last week I hit 399 on a dynojet.

I'ld love to go, but after what I went through today, I think I'll stay home and wait till tomorrow night instead. I should have my new belts in by tomorrow. I'm glad it was not my clutch and only a 30 dollar belt.
I've been running errands ever since I got out of work...I'm having dinner now, and then I'll be installing them in a bit...
Lets eat at the Ale House tomorrow night after the meet...
