Well sort of…
The Boneville Salt Flats are holy ground for a large group of automotive enthusiasts. One such group of people happened to need a tune up on our dyno before this year’s Bonneville run. With the help of Rob’s vast tuning knowledge and our wide-band air/fuel ratio monitor we were able to dial in the engine which helped propel the car to a new record in it’s class. We are super stoked to have played even a small role in helping them achieve their goals. Congratulations!!!
From the owner:
Hi Rob,
We’re back from Bonneville and set a new record in our class. I’m attaching a photo of the car. Left to right is Don the driver, Lana and Ray the owners and me Tom crew chief. Our goal was for 140 MPH. Which we did the first run. Couldn’t back it up the next day. We started over with a new record run of 139.— MPH and backed it up with 135.— for a 135.819 official record. I feel our running well was do to your tune up on the dyno. I never would have leaned out the AF mixture as much as you did. Pulling a head off for record inspection showed a light gray combustion chamber, just perfect. We’ll be back next year for a pre Bonneville tune.
Thank You
Tom
