i don't think it will be as accurate as it would be if you ran in 3rd gear. but kevin is right about them being scared about the ds breaking.

Yeah, the 3rd gear pull thing is the reason why, but even more so than that, they should have told us ahead of time. Its oh yeah, 3rd gear pulls are fine, and then the day we get there, nope, can't do it. Chuck, the owner of HPE is usually a very nice guy, but that day, he just seemed pretty shitty about everything. Didn't talk much or anything. Like someone else said, it was like, lets get all these trucks dyno'd and get outta here. I'd much rather dyno at G-force, plus they are only about 10 minutes from my house.

I would agree about G-force.. they where pretty cool about things when I was there last..
I was a little leary about them when I first went there, but I hear they are a decent shop since then..

you're right, it's in Pearland. you just come through friendswood from I45. I have wondered how it was still Pearland so far south though.
