Hi all,

(to be read in monster truck announcer voice)
SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! Coming to Providence RI.. Bostig Dyno day... see
amazing fire breathing* 40 wheel horsepower stockers! Pedal crushing SVX
3.3s! We've got it all!  One day only!  Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!

Ok.. we've been talking about trying to get some real numbers from the
various combos that people have running in their vanagons. Up until now
everyone has simply always quoted factory crank numbers for HP and torque,
but modified intakes and exhausts to fit things into vanagons change these
numbers, not to mention other details of implementation. To satisfy
everyones curiosity we'd like to see what the real-world results look
like.  I've talked to several interested folks and they seem to be ok with
July 31st (Sunday) as the Bostig Dyno Day date, so we're locking it in!

If you're interested in what kind of power and torque your 2wd or syncro
van is actually putting to the wheels, and can make it to Providence, RI on
the 31st let me know so we can pencil you in.  There will be an HO Tiico,
several zetecs, and at least one SVX there for certain, and the more folks
we can get, the more useful info we'll all have!! Please keep in mind this
is NOT a shootout, nor is there any competative spirit in these tests, and
we intend to keep it this way!  This is an effort to get as much data as
possible, all on the same dyno, all on the same day with the same
conditions.  With any luck we'll really be able to get some good numbers on
drivetrain losses as well if we have a good number of vans.   So even if
you have a tired 2wd boxer (not too tired as we need to rev it out to
redline for testing) bring it along.

When:  Sunday, July 31st - 9AM till ??

Where:  Yarrowsport in Providence, RI

Who: 2wd and syncro vanagons, any engine/wheels/tires
