http://www.bradyshighperformance.com/index.html

Trying to set this up for a date in the next month or so
Please contact me and let me know if your interested
No deposit as of yet till we decide on a date

They do all sorts of full service custom work there

So if you need an alignment or whatnot while your there

[contraption22]

I'm in! I'll bring my DRB for anybody that wants to monitor knock.

["Top Fuel" Bender]

WOW
thats a fast response

[mcsvt]

I'm in for watching :thumb:

[turbojerk]

Sweet!

[BadFastGTC]

Damn Broose, all the time we've known each other and you still can't spell my name? Anyhow, we'll provide burgers, dogs, and soft drinks during the event. We need to get a date set as the Saturdays fill up rather quickly when Bob isn't racing. So who is ready to do this?

Steve M.

There is a slim chance I will have a car to tune... So put me at the bottom of the list and if you get twenty you can probably push me off the bottom :thumb:

Thanks Bruce and Steve for getting this together. :thumb:

["Top Fuel" Bender]

there's a link up above
No mods needed, but it sure makes it a lot more fun :amen:
Let us if you intend on going

[CaptMoe]

I'm interested in attending.
I've been meaning to get my car dynoed and have yet to do it. Sounds like this would be a great opportunity.

Any specific times?

Moe

[rx2mazda]

Sounds good, i'll get the base numbers for my car with the stock cam gears before I start tweaking cam timing. Count me in!

That could be quite a bit you know

[mcsvt]

Might have to grab a case of lager in case he runs out :eyebrows:

mmmmmm yingling

[BadFastGTC]

Not all of it you won't! Damn I hope they get it back in stock soon........

[BadFastGTC]

We plan on starting around 9:00AM and going until whenever.

[Mr overkill]

how good is this place on "our" cars i need the back wheels "shimmed" and i dont trust anyone i could get dynoed and then have the car done at the same time



let me know

[BadFastGTC]

Before I came to work here, I had my cars aligned here. Brian Slowe's car was just plain evil going down the track before Bob aligned his car. A lot of the TD crowd has had alignments done here. The alignment guy isn't running the dyno anyhow. If you'd like a really good alignment done that day, so be it. We'll do one up for you. I have the shims here in stock.

let me know

I had Bob do a 4 wheel alignment on my SRT-4 after installing the lowering springs. I have never ever seen a tech take such care and pride in their craft. He just wasn't satisfied until it was exactly where he wanted it.
When I took it out for a ride it pulled to the left a little.
My tires were pretty chopped up from the short time I had driven the car between installing the springs and getting it aligned. He assured me that the pull would go away once the tires wore back in, and he was right. Tracks nice and straight now and tire wear is dead perfect.

[Mr overkill]

cool what do you think it should cost for the rear to be done

[BadFastGTC]

A complete four wheel with rear adjustments will run $268.50 plus tax (1 hr each side to adjust including adjustment shims). Basic alignment is $80.00. So 80 +140 +36.00 for shims, 12.50 misc. shop supplies = the $268.50. We can put whatever specs you'd like or be happy to suggest some. I've done mine a few different ways and can provide you that input based on what you do with the car.

Quite possibly the best money ever spent on my car was having Brady's do the alignment on the BSX. Straight as an arrow going down the track now:thumb:

[BadFastGTC]

Brian,

We had school for key off evap the last two nights and we stopped at my place prior to class. I showed Bob the video of the BSX from SDAC-13. You can imagine his response! See ya soon Bro!

[BadFastGTC]

So what is the tally so far?

We also have a few surprises in store for everyone that I can't discuss right now, but wait until you see!

Should anyone so desire, I can bang out a few oil changes if you are interested in switching to Red Line oil. We also stock MTL for the transaxles and D4ATF for automatics. Should anyone desire some, let me know as soon as possible and I'll be sure and have it here. I would only need to know which oil weight you'd need.





We can get up to 20 people
Please lmk if your serious or at least interested so we keep a tally

[mcsvt]

Steve what can you do in terms of auto trannies? My Durango needs a flush and filter but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

[turbojerk]

I'll be there as long as it isn't raining.

[BadFastGTC]

We can do both. I should have fluid in stock also.

["Top Fuel" Bender]

Here's the line-up so far
Let me know if there is any changes

sv-td crew:
Turbojerk (csx)
ScottD (SRT-4)
Saxhouse (omni)
Moparzrule's T/A Friend
Bris09 (Mach 1 Mustang)and
Mr. Evil friend (mach 1 mustang)
Kcarshagonwagon (kcar)

Turbomopar:
Bruce Bender (Omni-would like to go last and make adjustments)
Scott Lehr (Banks powered diesel-can the dyno handle it?)
Joey Andrews (supercharged grand cherokee)
Mike Marra (Omni)
1990vntshadow (shadow)
rx2mazda (spirit r/t)
Mr. Overkill (daytona)??????????
Mike Wah (1986 GLHS)
Skip Wah (1968 Dodge Dart)
Darin Wah (Dodge D100)




EDITED: names and count above 3/13

[BadFastGTC]

The dyno is good to 1,000H.P. & 180M.P.H.

I was planning to run the Lancer, but not that day. I'm going to do some camshaft testing. Right now, the Lancer has a turbo issue that I'm going to look into this weekend. Sucks, but since the thing has been in operation since 1995 on and off, I can't complain.

Should be a pretty fun day looking at the diversity of the line up so far!

Maybe we should rename this the Omni dyno day :lol:
Steve ? Gary ? Putting anything on?

[rx2mazda]

Rx2mazda(spirit R/T) repping the Holset and TIII fans :D

Brian and I were going to play with my cam timing on the dyno if there is time for it. So, If I can go near the end too that would be cool! If not, no biggy

[nsd811]

car may or may not be done. i am in if she runs

[mopar-tech]

Not I, I'm just coming down to hang out with my frineds :)

[BadFastGTC]

You can go prior to Bruce or after Bruce at the end of the cars running. We can prep a schedule of the cars if everyone desires. Bob was asking me about that very issue this morning. When he does the Corvette club, they all want a scheduled time to run their cars and usually the owner leaves after that. I told him we are much more flexible and we'll hang out all day. He doesn't know us.... :D

Sounds good
Yeah, half the dv-sdac guys aren't even going on the dyno and they all voted to have the meeting there so they could watch the festivities :thumb:
updated the list again 2 down/3 up

["Top Fuel" Bender]

Anybody able to get 5 gallons of c-16 to bring with, save me a trip to running out to Island Dragway?

[rx2mazda]

I'm bringing about 5 gallons of c-10 that I probably won't use. There is a gas station that sells it near my house, if you need some of that pm me

[BadFastGTC]

I just talked to Pettijon and he's probably going to do a few pulls in his SRT8.

You can have the old dyno sheets from the omni
Or better yet, the dyno sheets and video from Scotty's diesel
new cummins with a big banks kit, that should be pretty good

[contraption22]

I'm betting we could have my nitrous kit in your car in about 30 minutes.

I need to have mine done before I hit Summit Point in May. Can I get this done and get 3 runs on the dyno in?

[Xtrempickup]

i should trailer the R/T down there to get one last pull out of it for all the failing motor is worth before i get my new shortblock to put it. i can crack the 408whp/442trq if i add a little more boost and put my foot in it some more. put a catch pan underneath it for the oil pouring out or a rod that windows the block when it lets go

[BadFastGTC]

Yes we can. I just talked to the tech who's working and he said he'll do whatever to get the jobs done people have inquired about.

Make sure you do the alignment 1st
we don't want to hear any "my hp was lowering then I expected because of tire scruff do to the alignment being off" :lol:

Great idea. I also removed all the interior trim pieces, rear carpet and waxed the exterior....that should give me another 7 - 10 hp, right?

["Top Fuel" Bender]

Hey guys
Just found an ACT dual digital temp egt set I bought and forgot I had it
if anyone wants we can switch it from car to car
just need an 1/8" npt hole to thread it into (well 2 of them if you want)
I'm going to check I/C inlet and exit temps
Figured it would be neat to see excatly how good that big NPR really is
and maybe get some real world numbers on turbo outlet temps and I/C outlet temps

The gauge reads min/max and differential temps

Hey guys, was wondering if I could come out to this and get some baseline results before I put some mods on my car. I'm a close friend of Brian, turbo2point2. New dad, like Bri and would just like to get out of the house for a while. :rolleyes: Don't have a turbo mopar, but I'm a fan. I've got an 06 Goat

Later,

Mike "cerk"

[mcsvt]

I'd vote yes because I like the new GTO and want to see it. :)

[BadFastGTC]

Hell yeah Mike, bring it on out!

I suppose we should meet at my house at 7:00AM to allow us enough time to eat and head down to the shop here. The shop is 1/2 hour away. Breakfast is a few blocks from my house and has a huge parking lot.

Glad to hear the Omni is running well.

I've been working on the Lancer to ready it for the day. I swapped out the old, bad turbo and put Sledgehammer's in it. I also put in a dual pattern cam with solid lifters. The car fired right up and sounded much crisper. Then the turbo oil feed line spewed! GRRRRRR. I'll work on that tonight.

The itinerary for the day is going to go close to this, We should all shoot to arrive at 9:00AM where we can draw to determine the order for dyno pulls, making exceptions for those who need to go last or first, whatever the situation is. We'll all have to fill out a waiver to run on the dyno. No choice here, standard operating procedure nowadays. We'll run the cars selected up until 11:00AM when we'll take a break for a demonstration of a home built jet engine. Should be pretty cool. A local guy built one just for the fun of it. It isn't large, but fun nonetheless. We also plan to have a 50/50 drawing. Food will begin to be served as soon as 10:00AM. Any one who would like to have a small parts swap meet, feel free to do so. I'm also going to display James Reeve's old cylinder head. Those of you who are getting work done and running on the dyno, we'll adjust the work schedule to the dyno schedule. That's all for now. More to come later!

[Turbo3Iroc]

Need video of said jet engine!!

Was trying to make it but being a 2nd shifter sucks at times. Used too much vac time already. :banghead:

[rx2mazda]

I have no idea where your house or this restaurant is............

[BadFastGTC]

1028 Broad St. Akron, Pa. 17501 From Balt. take 83 north to 30 east. Follow into Lancaster to 222 north. Take 222 north to the second exit. Get off and go right. Go to 272 north. (All of 3 lights!) Go 2-3 miles to the Turkey Hill Minute Mart of the left. Immediately of your right is Broad St. Go right and follow through 2 stop signs. Just past stop sign number two is my house on the right. 4th house I believe. Look for my black SRT4 or the Shelby Lancer parked out front. My number is 717-226-3814 if you have any issues. You can follow us from there!

By the way, feel free to bring beer if anyone so desires. We cannot offer it, but we sure don't turn it down.

[BadFastGTC]

I'll be here at work for a little extra time tonight doing some preliminary runs with the Lancer on the dyno. I tried to run some solids with a bigger dual pattern cam and although the car ran better, they didn't want to stay adjusted along with a few other issues. I'd say I got a lousy batch. So the hydraulics went back in. So call when you get a break.

:mecry::( poor Steve, I feel for you man

[BadFastGTC]

Thanks Bruce. The Lancer's turbo came apart last night, just into the first run! We could tell something wasn't quite right by the way the graph was climbing, and right about 4,000 we heard a loud POP! Sounded just like a hose came off. I first looked over the hoses starting at the 'cooler. All was well until I made my way to the turbo to see if the hose came off there. The backing plate broke!:mad: The turbo is toast! It was running so strong for three days, even as I battled the issues with the solid lifters. Damn...

We could tell something wasn't quite right by the way the graph was climbing, and right about 4,000 we heard a loud POP! Sounded just like a hose came off. I first looked over the hoses starting at the 'cooler. All was well until I made my way to the turbo to see if the hose came off there. The backing plate broke!:mad: The turbo is toast! It was running so strong for three days, even as I battled the issues with the solid lifters. Damn...

That sucks Steve. Any idea what happened? I don't think I've seen a backing plate break.

[Pat]

And good luck to everyone tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's the results! Take videos!

[BadFastGTC]

I don't have a clue Pat, although it does look as if the plate had been cracked for some time. It is a billet plate, perhaps it had been machined too thin. I'll know more when I get a chance to get the thing off and evaluate it. First one I have heard of too!

[briceturbosports]

so whats the car count now ?

[BF/STOCKER SPIRIT]

I missed out!!!!!!!! O'well, still in florida, going to
a div2 race in ga, with out my car, helping a friends
but still interested bruce, jeeezz
i'll bring a case too!,lol

[turbojerk]

I suppose we should meet at my house at 7:00AM to allow us enough time to eat and head down to the shop here. The shop is 1/2 hour away. Breakfast is a few blocks from my house and has a huge parking lot.

Is there somewhere closer to Brady's to eat? It would be foolish for the crew that I'm coming with to drive all the way to your house when we're going to almost drive past Brady's.... If not no biggie, we'll stop elsewhere for food.

Thanks

I think they're planning to grill up some food for lunch on site.

Crap!... I thought that we where just "meeting" there.... Oh well.:(

[168glhs1986]

Steve, I'll be getting the full monte 4 wheel alignment with rear camber adjustments.

I'll need your help in setting it up.

I drive the car 400 miles per year and will be taking it to the track at Summit Point 2x per year. I'm thinking 2 degrees neg front and 1.5 negative rear with 1/16 toe out all the way around.

Suspension setup: Koni coilovers (new from Cindy) with 450lb 7" front springs and 350lb 9" rears. Stock bushings, stock anti-sway bars, front strut bar. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Also, you may want me to run early if it's going to take 2 hours to dial in the suspension...

[BadFastGTC]

Yes, we have burgers and dogs ready to grill. We just did a test firing of the mini jet engine. Very cool and very loud! Bring beer!


I think they're planning to grill up some food for lunch on site.

[BadFastGTC]

We'll see ya tomorrow then. The alignment we can see what we can get out of it with the adjustments on the car and go from there.

I've got a couple too, but won't be able to post them till later tonight.

Great day and only one car caught on fire multiple times ;)

Thanks Steve and Brady's.

Yup sorry Ryan, once it stopped catching on fire, seemed to run pretty good though.

I didn't get a video of the turbo Silverado, but that was one wicked sleeper, I do have pictures though.

[30 PSI SHADOW]

any numbers for the TDs??

[mopar-tech]

Mike Marra laid down 300+hp, 352hp on the bottle.

[rx2mazda]

Awesome event! I had a good time. Thanks for the free food and tool rental. When I left I was the highest dyno @ 377. How did Bruce do?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sLFle5GiXk&feature=channel_page

[mcsvt]

Bruce was having some "miss" issues I think. Didn't end up getting any good dyno runs. The Silverado laid down 518 on it's first pull, if we count him ;)

[moparzrule]

Gotta love the BOV ''spray'' of air! Nice!

[moparzrule]

BTW, I never saw anybody get hooked up to a wideband tailpipe sniffer....wasn't that suppose to be part of the deal?

Your car is bad ---. I just wish I would've gone before your 7 pull, 1.5 hr marathon;)

My 86 GLHS was 191 hp and 224 lbs of torque on stock internals, 14lbs of boost and a couple of bolt-on mods. Torque curve was flat from 2.5 to 5.5k which is perfect for the track.

Steve said he had a tailpipe sniffer but, I didn't see anyone use it.They also had a WB02 sensor if you had a place to screw it in. I have a extra bung in my DP and thats what I used.

[mcsvt]

Uploaded all of my pictures here:

Uploading some videos on YouTube now, but they are taking forever.

[moparzrule]

My buddy's 77' Trans am was first to go, if anybody has any pics/video he would really appreciate it.

[BadFastGTC]

We do have one, but it just isn't as accurate as the wideband in the bung. Why use it if the info isn't worthwhile?

If you don't have a bung it's better than nothing...IE the first 4 carbed cars that got dyno'd.

[BadFastGTC]

Why provide inaccurate info, just to get something? That makes zero sense. Just like my O2 gauge. It reads fat, but until I had the wideband in the car on the dyno Thursday, I had no idea the A/F was as close as it was to where the thing was supposed to be. So that kind of info was useless in reality. I could have leaned the car out and potentially done some damage. The carb cars could use the same wideband via being screwed in if we had time to do so and they wanted to pay to have them done. Much more accurate and useful info.

Carroll,

Your ride was one of the boss's favorites. Also included in that list were Tim's Magnum SRT8, Mike Marra's car, and Ryan's Shadow. Letting guys have some time to sort out a few issues is what we're all about as opposed to doing the three pulls and getting the cars off the dyno. You pay your hard earned cash and we have to be flexible to help out. Cool ride you have there Bud. It was a pleasure to meet you also. Keep up the good work! I hope you get that 400 number soon.

[BadFastGTC]

I had a blast, even working! I'd have to say the funniest part of the day was when Mike's car blew that GM Goodwrench Engine sign off the wall! Too darned funny! We'd like to thank you all for attending /participating. Bob was amazed that as many of us stuck around for the whole day. (He doesn't know us very well!) Usually the 'Vette crowd wants appointments for their turn on the dyno and they ----- and moan if their time is infringed upon. They also cut out as soon as their turn is over.

We trust you all had a good time and the information was useful. We're looking forward to doing it again sometime with some improvements to the event. Thanks again for your patience and thanks to all for a really killer turnout!

If you get the new style nozzles from Devil's Own, the nozzles are external to the pipe. So you weld a bung onto the outside of your tubing, then you don't have to remove the pipe to change nozzles. It's pretty cool!

["Top Fuel" Bender]

What a blast !!!!!!!
1st off big thanks to Steve for getting this all together for us and
Bob Brady what a professional and well run shop, I've never been so relaxed running my car on a dyno since my car came off of a dyno !
I would highly recommend him for anyone thinking of dynoing their car
Very easy to work with, knowledgable on a wide range of cars and just a great overall attitude

A dyno on a wooden floor in a hanger style loft, it doesn't get any cooler

Mike Marra that little button is way too cool
Mike Wah I've got '86 S envy
Carrol that thing is freakin cool, gotta love a 16v
Troy junyard whore
Craig little T1 that could !
Brian dammmmnnnnnnnn

1st pull way rich, Troy's welded wastgate flange held up great while glowing red !
pulled 5lbs fuel, car started to come alive, 2 degrees timing and the turbo spools nicely now
Car is great to @ 5,000 then just flatlines (car did this on the dyno before, but didn't have any problem pulling to 7,000rpm a week later running 10's at Cecil)
thought I may have an ignition problem, pulled the 6 month old Talyor wires to find 3 torn boots
Mike Marra instantly gave me his, no difference on the dyno
swapped plugs, closed the gap, no difference
changed cam timing 5', no difference
So after a little consuling we came to conclusion we think the convertor is cavitating, I've been fighting convertors in this thing since day one

Well I'm still happy, only thing broken is the shiter cable (don't ask, sorry Bob for the vise grip)
the Turbo's unleashed held up nicely and seems to work great
The car comes right up on spool, the air/fuel is set and safe, and hopefully a good conv. will help me pick up some too

Here's some pics
If anyone wants higher res. (10mpeg) pics lmk

Great day indeed. Heck, it made me register on this site. You all have some great cars. I may have to build a car myself.

[Cerk]

Had a good time, nice to see you all yesterday. Bob's is a very nice place. For my runs, I was kind of disapointed with my results though. I think it could've been higher, but driving 70 miles to the shop, kinda killed it. I also went second, so maybe it would have been higher with more cool down time? Anyway I pulled 301 rwhp and 327 ft-lbs torque. For being stock, I think the torque is about right.

The real trooper of the day was Bob's wife. She hung in there, cooking burgers and dogs in 30+ mph winds! Steve and Bob (and wife) you were terrific hosts and your shop is nastalgic. It reminded me of the barns on the farm where I grew up...how old are those floors anyway? I second that for making this an annual event. Great times.

Looks like a good time was had by all!

How did Slowe do?

He started out being strong willed...."I'm not running it","Just hear to watch" yada yada. But deep down he wanted to strap it down and after some persuasion he loaded it up. Very conservative tune(9:1 a/f and 18lbs)he put down 37X. He couldn't go over 7K because the 26" slicks started rubbing the chassis because it was strapped down. Power curve looked like Mt.Everest until the BC kicked in and then it was as flat as Nicole Richie. I think he wants to wait until the 25th to show us his real tune and what I can do.:nod:

Steve, you guys are the bomb. Dialed my suspension in to the T. Just like their website says....

Dead-on spec--Not just within tolerance

Also, my dad drove around for 30 minutes trying to find some beer for you guys (he never was a drinker), so I'll be sending you something soon. Hint....He won the 24 hour of Lemans back in 1959.

Thanks, Mike

[BadFastGTC]

Mike,

As long as you are happy, that is all that matters. We'll be looking forward to the surprise though. Give 'em hell on the track!
