Default AFF Dyno Day

The Forums have just announced the 2nd AFF National Dyno Day.

http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=90794

(That's the Vic thread. There is a thread for each state)

This is a great event, and not restricted to the big V8's. I'd encourage as many guys to enter as possible, and let the Ford Fours stand up and be counted.

If we get enough guys (and girls) to enter, we could arrange for all of us to cruise together to the event in each state and all run at about the same time

That shop will be staying open for servicing and gas conversions I believe, the dyno also stays there.
The new shop will have 2 new dyno.
3 dyno to use within 10 mins of each other nice luxury.

That's good to see, the interest in the National trophy in class 1 will be good.
Also don't forget to pay in your deposit for both cars.

Cmon boys. We want a good turnout from the 4 cylinder brigade to show what an important part of this forum we are. A good chance to fly the flag and show that Ford are not just the Falcon Car Company

You don't need 100's of Kw to enter.
I should have a few more mods done before the AFF dyno day.
What if someone bring along a XR5, what class will they be in? 1.5 Class...TeeHee

XR5's will be placed in Class 4: Ford Forced Induction. (All Ford powered forced induction cars including NOS)

So you need to crack out some serious numbers if you want to beat a few V8's and turbo 6's
