Dyno time!

This is just a quickie, in case you're interested. I'm getting myself and my race bike out to Ducati Seattle on November 7th to put it on the dyno, and see how much power it's making at the moment. This is preparatory to installing the adjustable cam and setting the cam timing precisely, which should result in a bump in power. I'd like to have a "before" picture.

Anyway, if we can get other folks out to Ducati Seattle for some dyno time, Mark (a fellow racer) thinks we can get the hourly rate reduced from $100 to $60/hr, which would be pretty cool. If you're interested in joining me, give me a shout by email. No guarantees that the price will change, of course, and Mark thinks we'll need at least 6 bikes to make the jump.

In other news, hooray for progress! I got my adjustable cam finished a few weeks ago, and am now doing a top-end rebuild on the street bike's engine, so I can test it out and see what kind of a difference it makes. This also frees up another cam to modify (although that likely comes later).
