Dyno day next week.

[STU]

My f-inlaw is sick with cancer and his days with us are shrinking fast...With our 3 little ones and busy day's I can't garauntee he would see the Merc running down the road again any time soon so I decided to pull the 357W out, bolt on all the goodies I have aquirred for it and take it to www.rdperformance.ca/ for a day on the dyno. This will take place next week. I'm going to start the engine assembly tommorow night. My cousin and best friend are helping with the cleaning and assembly, they also come over on Tuesday nights to help me work on the car too. We are using my cousins headers on the dyno as mine are not finished yet.

So sorry to hear about your F-law, just be there for him is all you can do, I know personaly the feeling of helplessness that hits you.
Good luck at the dyno, sounds like a wicked combo
Just make sure you bring everything you need, my headers wouldn;t fit on my local dyno, wasted 1/2 a day finding a set to clear.
Then he asked me for Fuel! another trip
Dyno fuel fittings were 6 an, mine were not!
1-spark plug was a dud, another flail to find one!
Wasted about 5 hrs. of time,
Thankfully, he didn;t charge me full pop for the hrs wasted.

Yeah, he said to bring a set or two of headers. When I call to book the actual day I will clarify exactly what I need to bring.
