My 1st Dyno

[tim at unrealexpectations.ath.cx (stetson)]

Thanks Cathy!

I should have stated before that this is the '84 8v with Audi 5K TB, Fox
intake, 4-2 ex.mani., Eurosport DP, hi-flow cat, 2" cat back (this is an
exact duplicate of Patricks exhaust system), but the rest is stock TMK (to
my knowledge) @ approx 175K mi.

If I was pulling a number like that I will be VERY happy and now have to
throw in the performance cam and see what the difference is.

I'm lucky this guy is a dubber!
