Mine always does that. I'll get 1 or 2 notifications then nothing. That's why I started clicking the unread posts button

Its been doing that to me as well, for a month or so, randomly get a notification. Then out of the blue, they pile in like normal.

Let me run this by you all. My dyno graph is plotted against mph instead of rpm.

The background information: 235/85/R16 tires (99.59" circumference), .69 O/D, 3.07 rears, and I'm arbitrarily saying the converter is 89% efficient .

The equations: (miles/hour)*(5280ft/mile)*(12in/ft)*(1rev/99.59in)*(1hr/60min)= wheel rpm

(wheel rpm)*(rear end ratio)*(O/D ratio)/(converter efficiency)=engine rpms

At 60 mph that's about 1515 rpm and every 20 mph is another 500 rpm.

Reasonable? By that math, 120 mph is right at 3000 rpm.

The first time my truck was on a dyno. I forgot to tell the guy to lockout OD. He did the first pull in OD. He almost fainted when the guy on the computer told him he spun the rollers at 132 MPH.

That's what I do too.

This was a Dynojet and Bill said it was best to spin them as fast as possible. But I did tell the operator that I had 3.07s in the rear end before hand. He must have really trusted my drive shaft

Had a little incident this weekend, the Rhino's wristpin decided its job was just a little too tough.

[DMan1198]

I've seen worse. That really sucks though

[DMan1198]

Jesus Eric. Are you bored or something?

[RCCUMMINS89]

What, you never wanted to do that?

[DMan1198]

I'm going to answer that one like a politician

[fatty]

Lol at Eric.

[PToombs]

Eric, how did you get them all to work? I can't get any on the 2nd or 3rd page to work for me. When I click the smilie the screen disappears and the smilie doesn't post.

[BC847]

What browser are you running? Is it up to date?

[BC847]

I'll be glad when they finish building the new track. New injectors and I'm ready for track tuning.

[PToombs]

BC, IE 11, and everything is up to date, the IE, Adobe, Java. I went thru this a few weeks ago when my Photobucket wouldn't work. I had to download Firefox to use on Photobucket.

Our local track is opening late, it was due to open 2 weeks ago, but it has been so wet they pushed it back to this coming weekend. It will probably be delayed again because it rained here most of the day. Guy I was talking to also told me they shorten the track to 1/8th because the water lays on the bottom end and there isn't enough runout room.
