My Saturday afternoon just got changed by order of the family. I get to take my 8 and 10 year old girls to the Davidson parade at noon so I could get there in the morning only.
I am not sure what to sign myself up for and with my schedule change if it is even possible. I was hoping to have Wayne look over my car, check it's performance and make some suggestions. It is totally stock and racking up some miles (90,000 just reached this weekend) so I wonder what suggestions he or others would have for me.
Thanks,
Warren.

I think you should plan on dynoing yours first seeing that you have an appointment at noon.That should give you enough time to make your appointment.

I'm kinda in the same boat as in I am not sure what all I would be going for other than to meet some wonderful AMG owners. I already have a PC tune and am at 55K miles. I have toyed with doing something else (pulley, headers, TB, HE) but have not had any type of challenge here in Columbia to make me need to add the performance.

So I went cosmetic with the DPE wheels instead and added SAT radio.

I rarely do more than a couple back to back spirited runs as the PoPo around here can be nasty...and have yet to have my SC shut down. I think the upgraded PTE thermostat, lower fan settings, and newer Bosch IC keep me cool enough until I add something that makes more heat.

That being said, I am sure Wayne will be more than busy with the clients lined up ready to pay for tuning (rightfully so) and probably won't have much time for us guys just going up to say hello.

I can always make time for fellow AMG owners. You sound like you have a nice setup.


Hotrod-Realtor: Sorry for the mixup; all are welcome.

I believe its $800.00 for tune plus $100.00per hour for dyno .It should take about 1-2 hours to tune i believe.

Dang, don't think I can make it this go round. I need to get a pulley on first anyway. I'll be down that way in the afternoon may swing by to at least see what a tuned 55 is like.

I thought it was $800 + $100/hr for tuning + dyno time fees

It's located off of exit 90 or the Carowinds exit on I77 just over the SC line, if your coming from Charlotte make a left onto Carowinds Blvd, then left onto Springhill Farm Road, then left onto Center Circle (Buisness Park) he's located in the park.....

Sorry, I'm not going to be able to make it. I was planning on leaving tonight to be there on Saturday but I can't get today. It's a 5 hour drive which would be too much on Saturday to do. Have fun guys, wish I could be there.

I googled Pro Dyno and couldn't come up with an exact street number address so this should be close.
