The agreement was for the engine to be on Jimmy Naylors dyno ready to begin the dyno pulls when I arrived to pick up the engine.He then refused to dyno the engine saying it was not in writing and he was not going to do it. If everyone remembers in a earlier post he said all my Mopar parts would not work.I bought everything new from him except the Terminators,Vacuum pump and Ron's fuel(that's the parts that he was referring to that were Mopar parts and would not work)it took me 30mins-one hour to bolt everything up.
If he would have Dynoed the engine as agreed it would have saved me $500.00 (and I was lucky I did not have to pay another day,because it was not oiling to the rockers & had to be repaired)$368.48 for labor,gaskets new 9qts new oil & filter because instead of putting the correct thickness intake gasket on it they put 2 and one had slipped leaking water into the intake galley, that's $868.48. It was 197 miles one-way that equals 394 miles because of the mistakes I had to make 2 trips total 788 miles. Counting gas it wound up costing me over $1,000.00 extra plus 2 full days of my time.

We made a total of 10 dyno pulls and took the 3 best which were the last 3. We re-lashed the valves, tried different set of plugs. From looking at the graph on the dyno pull the operator could tell what changes to make from pull to pull. I thought I had made it clear earlier, we had a total of 10 pulls but took the best 3 .
