I had a good time, even though I didn't dyno. RealQuick, nice meeting you. After the dyno I went back to Jim's and ran the cooling system pressure tester on my car (Sat was her first day out). As I suspected the cooling system does not hold pressure. However, I am pretty sure it is the head gasket and not a crack in an exhaust port, as when you start the car with the pressure tester attached the pressure builds more quickly than just from the heating of the coolant alone. So what that means is combustion chamber pressure is being vented into the cooling system.... At least that is what I think. I'll have to run the pressure tester on Jim's car to see how quick just heating hte coolant builds pressure for a comparison.

Joe, it was a pleasure meetng you as well. You got a sweet bird there. How did you make out on the dyno? Any gains? Hopefully you get your coolant leak worked out. I am having an annoying oil leak from the timing cover that I have tried to fix twice. Oh well, nature of the beast I guess. Good luck, and if I pick up tunercat I'll shoot you an email for pointers. Later.
