Have a great day tomorrow! I personally placed the order for perfect weather ...
I bet you guys are having a blast today! I can't wait to see the pictures! Manny, I am very sorry for not getting the banner changed in time. I should be meeting Mike this week!
Great Event Manny.
The shop looks Awesome.
Thanks for inviting everyone to the Grand opening.

Not your average garage, .......it's stunning. Dead battery prevented me from getting a video clip of the vette on the dyno, the noise was incredible. Great weather and great people, wishing everyone connected with this much success.
I'll post a few more pics tomorrow.

Much thanks to Manny, Dan, and the rest of the team for the wonderful hospitality shown today. Myself and my brother came and had a blast watching the cars on the dyno. I even put my car in for the numbers challenge.
Although the numbers I posted were respectable but not what I had hoped they would be (459 rwhp and 425 ft. lbs torque), I quickly became educated that the air/fuel mixture was much too lean and could hurt the motor if pushed hard. This pull will now be used as a baseline as I eagerly await doing a tune to find the untapped horsepower I feel is hidden within the car.
I also watched in amazement as the Nasty 1 posted 468 rwhp and Dan's posted 513 rwhp with an unreal 798 ft lbs of torque. Although I have watched video before of cars on a dyno, being there live is certainly a huge rush.
Thanks again guys and I look forward to next year's annual event.

Thanks for posting the pictures Colin! Looks like one heck of an event!...probably the biggest event we've had on CCF!
Congratulaions on a very successful event Manny! Wish I too could have been there. I've seen that '67 up around these parts in Southampton about a month ago at a cruise night (you can't forget a license plate like TIKIYAYA). Very beautiful tri-power. His grandson came up with the name he told me.
Wow! Congrats on the opening, Manny! Looks like it was well attended. Love seeing pics of blowers!
Hey Manny--is your website up and running yet?
