if that's the case you should be able to expect a great track in a couple of weeks!

Already did it. I had it on a dyno the week it came home from Evosport. It actually posted 2 more HP than it did on Evosports Dyno. Evosport was 500.2 and I got 502.4 here in Chicago. I always get two places to dyno my cars after major mods, keeps everyone honest.
I'm pretty sure it was just a combination of the weather (98% humidity), a green track and wind. Everyone was runing way off their normal e/t's. Most guys that I talked to with cars that normal post in the 12-13 second range were 1.2-1.5 seconds off. Nobody could post better than a 1.9 60ft, which is respestible, but not stellar.

Have any other MBs dyno'd on your dyno here in Chicago? I was recommending CPT because their database of MB dynos is without question the most extensive in Chicago. In an ideal world we could trust any dyno, but the reality is that having a dyno that has done other similar cars is usually a much better way of getting some good #s.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, though.

I got it to hook-up real hard one day last week, it was when I raced that Shelby GT 500 Cobra. We were on concrete and I launched it perfectly, I had almost no wheelspin and the revs never dropped down. If I could repeat launches like that everytine I would have no problems. I'm supposed to go baack out to Route 66 again on May 9th, there is some sort of bracket event there this weekend, so they should be able to get the right amount of rubber down and get the track seasoned.
