New Sticky Thread ?
I was thinking how cool it would be to have a sticky thread at the top of this section where everyone could post their setup and dyno sheet. This would be great information for everyone to look at when comparing setups.
How is this acomplished???

) without interjecting opinion then a sticky could indeed become informative. I could also see the sticky turning into a "mines better than yours" slug fest. From a moderator standpoint I could see a staff member suggesting the same info could be inputted into ones sig... on top of the fact that a mod would probably need to keep an eye on the sticky for content. I support it none the less

Hmmm... I really like that idea man.
I'll mull it over for a few days and maybe do you one better. I have a fair amount of programming and database experience, so maybe I'll setup a website that accepts dyno graphs, then translates those dyno graphs into numeric form.
Once they are numerically input into the database, users could search through it and compare multiple setups on the same graph and same scale. The graph data from the scans/pictures could be replotted onto a dynamic online graph. That would be truly cool from the perspective of not having to mentally overlay pictures/scans of peoples' graphs -- plus you could set a flag in the database to indicate what type of dyno the run was made on, and apply corrections if appropriate (i.e., some people say Mustang dynos read low, so maybe offer the ability to click a button and scale the Mustang numbers upward).
Hmmmm....

I did get a chance to meet Doug and Julio from alkycontrol.com... both are very cool. We had a chance to screw around at the track, grab some grub, and have some beer.

I will be willing to host it on my server if the forum doesn't want to.
As for the mines better than yours this is easily eliminated by allowing only performance data in the thread nothing else and having the mod being the only one that can update info.
LS1 Tech has a top ten boosted list on their site and its pretty cool. We could do something along those lines.

Nice! Can your server run ASP/.NET and SQL Server? If so, I think we have the makings of something really cool here. If not... I think GoDaddy sells servers for about $10/month that let you have one SQL Server database with the package.
My 383tt.com domain/server was not very expensive (I think I paid about $100 for the year?) and it includes database. I just never get around to actually doing anything with the site other than posting videos and images
Again, great idea man.

I have access to another that we use to send autocad files that I think would be more than up to the task. But if not we will just need to find one fast enough.

The one advantage to using GoDaddy is that they give you SQL server access with your monthly fee -- we use a lot of SQL server at work and I can tell you that to buy your own license for this purpose is quite a bit north of $1000 for an entry level setup. Of course, if you already own a license and we can use it from your server....

I think that this is a great idea with one suggestion...
Personally, I am not really into dyno numbers. They are only one indication of power output. I would like to see this opened up to dyno numbers and/or 1/4 mile speed. Speed in the 1/4 mile is also a very good indicator of power output.
