Sarver Automotive Diesel Dyno Day

I want to thank the Buchanan family Brandon, Bryan, Brendon, Judy, Buck and the rest of the crew from SARVER AUTOMOTIVE for hosting this event, along with all of the sponsors who put up some nice door prizes. DLK, NAPA, Freeport Beverage and the others. Minor problems with the optic sensor for the tach reading plagued the Sarver crew all day, so some guys may have only got HP reading and no torque. I think a total of 31 trucks spun the rollers. The $200 cash prize went to Ron Stutz of Micks Diesel Performance 3rd gen with his #2 only 738 HP. Next was my cousin Tom P's 3rd gen at 717 HP. I did 676 HP. Brian P's 12 valve did 652, Mike C's 12 valve did 580, Caleb's D Max did 57?, these numbers of off the top of my head so they may be off a number or so. The computer crashed doing the last truck so I was not able to get a copy of the names and numbers. I hope to be able to get the numbers up by Monday evening. All I did was post up the info for DYNO DAY, I want to thank all of you guys who made this event a success. Hopefully the group from Sarver Automotive will want to do this again in the spring. Once again THANKS TO EVERYONE who was able to be there. Thanks Steve B.

Thanx Steve for getting this put together with the guys from sarver automotive, it was a great time, the guys up there did a great job running things, a real class act place:Cheer:! BTW mine was 573..

Now on to next weekend!

Thanx
Caleb
 
Man, wished I could have made it.

Caleb, looks like you could have used some more GM company based on the photos. Nice numbers!

I am hoping to make it next weekend, will probably just be spectating though...:(

Nice work on the videos Mike. Are you going to video the drag races on Saturday ? Thanks Steve B.

Mike, Did you get the second page ?? Thanks Steve B.

Steve ... I went through all that trouble to read those names, and I even placed them in order ... and all you can ask me is if I got the second page?? :hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe: ... Im just joking buddy!!!

Yes I did get the second page ... there are only 4-5 names on that page, and then it says Computer Malfunction, thats why it dosn't add up to 31 :Cheer:
 
Thanks for all the Diesel Smoke

All of us at Sarver Auto & Performance would like to thank you guys for making the Dyno Shootout a success. We never thought we'd see 30+ trucks our first time. We're planning on another next Spring and the ideas are flowing to make it even better.

Congrats to Ron Stutz for throwing down 738hp !!!

Special thanks to Steve B. for getting to word out on the forums.
If anyone needs more time for tuning, give us a call anytime.

Thanks again,
Brandon & Gene

PS. We're still cleaning up. LOL. :ft:
 
HAHA hows that garage door looking over there?? Thank you again we had a blast and look forward to seeing you guys in the fall!!
 
X2, It was a great time lookin forward to the next one!! Id also like to come up for some tuning time soon, but i gotta get the turbo fixed first!!!
 
Thanks again Brandon & the rest of the guys at Sarver Automotive. Just like I told you while I was on the dyno, you guys have a FIRST CLASS operation going on up there :clap:

I can't wait until the next event, and I can assure you that you will see myself, along with some others up for some tuning time. Thanks again!!!
 
Any word on a Round 2 for the spring? I missed the 1st one and would love to spin the rollers.
