Explain what the dyno is or why the dyno (whatever that is) caused flames. You may have explained what it is to me before but it probably went in one ear and out the other because you’re speaking a foreign language. I like cars too, but you? Damn, dude Lol
Yeah, hp means horsepower but it’s 800 at the crank, about 680 at the wheels. So yeah, it moves, but the goal was clean, usable power, something that still looks stock, drives smooth, but wakes up when you want it to.

Cars & Coffee is exactly what it sounds like, early weekend mornings, car folks grabbing coffee, walking around, checking out everything from vintage rods to track builds to high-end exotics. It’s actually a really good family event too. I take mine every year. Gotta be careful leaving Cars & Coffee though. I always wait until most folks have gone. Still ran into a problem this year though. 😂

This year lined up with the Rods & Customs Weekend at the State Fairgrounds, so we made a day of that too. Pulled out the chairs, hung out along the strip while we ate, watched the cars cruise by, then jumped in and did some laps ourselves. Just a laid back Saturday, soaking it all in. We had a blast.

And yeah, the dyno is short for dynamometer. Basically, the car’s strapped down on rollers and run through the gears so they can measure horsepower and torque under real load. Since I’m running E85 and a rich tune, there was a little extra fuel hitting the exhaust during those pulls, and that’s what caused the flames. It’s not for show, it’s normal. It’s just part of how the system works when it’s tuned right.

I know it sounds wild, but it’s all dialed in. Legal, reliable, and still quiet when I want it to be, just not shy when I don’t.

It's almost impossible not to see it. It's everywhere. I feel so sorry for his wife.

Yeah, he tried to but I don’t do that anymore, so I declined. Plus, I had my family in the car with me. If that had been 20-years ago, and I had the same car, and on Woodward, too? Then, this is how that would have looked….

Well, that’s what his actions said. Didn’t they?

To stand before God, stare into the eyes of someone who trusts you, someone you love, and still lie at the altar… bruh, that’s beyond cold. That’s soul-deep deception, and a level of cold I’ll never comprehend.
