doing the DMD is only about a 1 hour job. But for a novice I'd say more like 2 or 3. The first time I did one it took a few hours. Just follow the directions on the How-To here on the site and you'll be all set. All the part numbers are listed there as well. New bolt, new washer and new front crankshaft seal. If you don't have the puller tool you can usually rent one at a parts store like Auto Zone.

doh
I just realized that I'll be in NH on the 2nd, or at least getting ready to come home.
Maybe I'll have to stop by on my way home if thats the case. We'll see what happens.

yeah - Dean will walk you through the steps. Basically, drive through the gears, till 4th, very slowly, no need to go to high rpms while getting to 4th.
Once in 4th, Dean will tell you to go....Hit the gas pedal hard, don't stop......hit redline, let go.
1) NEVER SHIFT INTO FIFTH.
2) NEVER HIT YOUR BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN!
Other than that. You're done.
Cleaning the K&N is a good idea...although remember, you don't have the 'air movement' as if you are driving on the streets.
If you feel uncomfortable, you can have Dean drive it...or of course, i'm always willing to help! lol.

any advice on the best way to swap out mods in order to get different readings in between runs?
How does it work for automatics? is there a point in time where he tells you to turn O/D on?

I've been dying to get a baseline on my 6. Can a fellow Duratec brethren get in on the action?!?! The 2nd sounds good to me.

it looks like its going to be a small group .. well...at least 10. When you do a run or two, you will stop. You can swap out anything you want - as long as it doesn't hold up the runs for too long. I've done a Superchip swap in the middle, I've seen Intakes, etc....
Great question regarding automatics. I will have to get back to you on that. I will have to ask Dean.
never seen an auto on the dyno.
i'll get back to ya!!!!
