LOUISIANA Members!

I have PMed most of you I think, have been hoping maybe most of us could try to get together at some point. I was thinking we could try getting down to Gerhardt Diesel Performance in Baton Rouge, they have a Dyno there and maybe if I called them and said a few of us were coming in they could give us a group discount or something like that. Then maybe after that go to Hooters and have some wings and drinks. I am thinking early July time frame on a Saturday. What do ya'll think?

 

[WDixon27]

cool sounds like fun, i work a half day on saturdays but can get out of it if i have a few days warning to let the boss know, so i am flexible

 

[BJMarshall]

Keep me posted on this as well. I'm not to far away from ya'll.

 

[CogginsP]

Awesome! I'll call up Gerhardt Performance today and see if they would be up for it. Then I will start making fliers and give them to all the dodge diesel folks who haven't yet bought the TDR Bug.

 

[CogginsP]

I called them, I need to call back on Monday and talk to someone specific. He sounded like they would be down for hosting something like this though. How does July 7th sound for everybody??

 

[WDixon27]

at the moment i don't know of anything that would be a problem

 

[CogginsP]

Just got off the phone with TNT performance (formerly Gerhardt Diesel). They said that July 7th would work well. They said hours would be 9AM to 2PM but if we got more trucks he would modify the hours for us.



Normal fees are 75$ for 3 pulls, he will cut it down to $40 for our event. I am going to start putting a flier together today (unless anyone else with some actual art skills would rather take it). And I will give them to people I know around here (not on the TDR). Once I am finished with it I will be sure to post it to the thread so ya'll can print out a few and put them on the windshields of other dodge diesels.

7/7/07 Dyno Day!!



Who here is absolutely going for sure? Weekend after next! Just want to make sure nobody forgot.

 

[WDixon27]

i don't see any reason i can't be there, guess i need to give piggy a bath :-laf

 

[Glock Guru]

I will do my best to make it buy and support the cause. July is very busy for me, but I will do my best. Maybe we could all meet for food and drink after the event?

That's the plan, was hoping to meet up at TNT performance at 9 AM, do all our pulls, and head to hooters for some beer and hot wings afterward.

TnT - Performance and Repair

there are directions to the place.



Who is designated driver?? :-laf:-laf.

 

[DSteimle]

well, it looks like i missed this one. could have brought some 1st gen representation too. how'de it go?

 

[WDixon27]

pretty good, all dodge turn out with 460/875 being the highest done by a 3rd gen

 

[CogginsP]

Whose truck dynoed 460? I left early and didn't get to see any other trucks dyno. I would have liked to see more TDR members turn out, but I guess people were busy for the most part. Here is a vid of my dyno pull if anyone is interested

dale's maroon 4 door 3rd gen he ran last as they were pulling down the doors, by the way i was the white flatbed 12v 299/604, i think mine had more in it as i only saw about 25#, i wish i had driven and legged it out in 5th where it'll peg the 30# gauge at around 2600

That's the thing about the dyno day they did, our trucks in 4th gear will only dyno so high. 5th gear we both would have seen higher numbers.

 

[WDixon27]

dale did his runs in 6th and the 460 came up at 82 mph, can't remember the torque mph

 

[CogginsP]

he got his 460 in 6th?? Would like to know what his numbers were on a 1:1. Hell I would have seen 460 in 5th!!!

 

[WDixon27]

they weren't sampling at lower speeds so i have no idea, it was jumping around pretty good though, took about 6 runs before they finally got the trigger to read so they could get the torque, damn thing kept falling off from the movement of the truck
