wrshdskin, good job getting the videos up so fast. It was interesting to see how easy everybody was making it up the hill. Earlier in the year when I was there, the top 1/4 or so of the hill seemed steeper and that was what was keeping a lot of people from making it up the hill. It looked like people were getting up pretty easy now.

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking Wyoduner. Weird....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

Sorry for the crappy videos. Some were Ok. There are settings on my video camera for different brightnesses etc and I'm still trying to figure it out. Its only been like 5 years. LOL The program I have comes with colorization and brightness, contrasts adjustments that may help but, they want $49.00 more to activate those features. This was a trial version that came with the hardware I bought. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

As for the hill, there must have been a lot of rails eating up the top because It looked as though the last 1/5 of the way was less steep than the previous part of the hill. But, you guys need to stop. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I feel good about my 235 lbs azz getting up that hill on a Raptor. Let me eat my cherrys and enjoy it too. LOL JK

Oh, I made a um, uh, mistake. Yea, that's it. I meant to say that Chokecherry looked EVEN TOUGHER than before and how amazing it was that anybody could make it up the hiill being so steep and all. yea, that's what I meant to say. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

LOL, there, I feel better now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

After seeing the videos from wshrdskin and the pictures from sandgod I think it is time to move. Love the pics and the videos. I will now look up the directions to these areas and start planning my next road trip. Heaven awaits me.

 

WP, you've done a lot to your machine in a short period of time. Nice machine. Please explain the Dyno chart in your pics page. You have 4 lines. Are there 4 different runs or is it 2 runs with before and after mods. Is one a torque curve etc. Thanks.

 

There a four lines: 1) Top blue is the modified hp with a severely bent axle. 2) Lower blue is the stock hp out of the crate. 3) Top red is the modified torque. 4) Bottom red is the stock torque. When we dynoed it with the new exhaust I had a bent axle and it only produced 30.1hp with the stock setup. That would mean a gain of about 7hp. That was not enough though. The next weekend I brought it back to Trinity Racing and now I am awaiting the first 440 big bore kit for my Z. I can't wait.
