It seems the shop tour on Good Guys happens on a thursday this year.  I guess the management of Good-Guys decided to add a extra day to the event ?  First I heard of it was on monday

Hughes Performance is on the tour this year.

Not sure if I am tagged for operating the transmittin dyno this year as in past shop tours that included  Hughes Performance.  Guess I will find out.

oddly enough, a discussion about the dyno  and crowds around it came up on monday afternoon.  I've not been instructed as to any changes in operation.

the rev limiter is set at 4K RPM on the engine.  I know it will rev higher if needed.... the limiting factor is the load generator , max RPM on it is suggested 5k .. which seems too high for the size of the unit

We had a good turn out of folks at the shop tour run at Hughes.

I heard we served over 750  hotdogs on thursday.

The trans dyno was operated by me  and I answered about 1157 tech questions for folks.  I did not get to all folks questions , but I gave it a shot.  :shock:

the down side to me operating the dyno , i dont get outside to see the cars that come and go.  I did view some photos folks took

I'm in a county island with lots of other rodders, we all have an acre and trade tools and never a complaint. Near 101 and Elliot to Warner. Prices are reasonable now and the house next door is available but not listed.
