No, we were checking pan pressure. On that dyno session, we tested some different pan evac systems to see how much vacuum we could get and hold. The rubber hose that is t'd into the side hooks to the vacuum gauge on the dyno

Tony chases after horsepower. He loves heads up racing. We were dead headed on the dyno with issues on the Qjet...Tony comes in makes a couple of changes and boom we are 25HP better. It is showing up on the ET slip too.

Tony doesnt do tricks of the week. He just does all the regular stuff very well. I do piss him off from time to time, especially when I put my 1970 Catalina air cleaner and made 8-10HP. He said he couldnt believe I put that ugly thing on his dyno and put his head in his hands.

Oh there you go Lynn... You've let the cat outta the bag (+8-10hp)....

Now every racer in the world is out there looking for '68 Catalina Air Cleaners...

And their price is now through the roof. :-)

I caught the idea of tunnels between the mains when I saw the first pictures of the LS-1. That Tony is a thinker and doer!
