I was being childish and your post said "in your butt" dyno.  I was entertained and figured that saying, on your butt dyno or to your butt dyno might be a better way to state things.

LOL.... OHHHH.... yes, "in" vs "on"!!!! ...... experiencing more torque as I sit on my Toyota bench seat, going through the gears,  goes through my entire body!

I remember the day I picked up my car from D-I-C-K Guldstrand Enterprises in Culver City California in 1972 after he rebuilt my 327 CI powered 1967 Corvette Stingray.    OMG!!!!! Now THAT had some torque!!!  With a solid lifter cam it was happy at 6,500 RPM.  I'd give my left testicle to have that little jewel back!! It was the quickest car I've ever owned.  I raced a Porche 911S on the way to Reno, NV one time.  He blew by me at about 80 MPH.  My beautiful little feisty Italian girlfriend said "Are your going to let those 2 guys in their fancy Porche beat us to Reno?!  I shifted down to 3rd and we were off!  I caught up with him in about 10 seconds and he punched it, I shifted into 4th and the Thrush side pipes were very loud.  I stayed on his butt for about 1 minute.  We were over 120 MPH by then.  The road opened, and I passed him at about 130 MPH.  He stayed with me for about 20 seconds.  He backed off (thank GOD!!)!!

I glanced at the tach it was reading 7,000 RPM and the speedo said 140 MPH.!! :yikes:

My heart was pounding so hard I got a woody!! :lipsrsealed:

My girlfriend said "WOW... that was fun!!  :burnout:

I didn't tell her that I damn near pooped myself!!  :disturbed:  That little 3400 pound car felt so light the steering wheel had almost no direction!!  :shocking:

Those were some of the best days of my life! :yesnod:  :laugh:
