I'm curious as I've had my car dyno'ed on two different machines here locally.
looks like dynocomp's dyno dynamics machine will be our spot.

any suggestions on dates from those interested? we'll have to be a little flexible but is there anything that absolutely won't work?

ok...let is busy through the month of feb and possibly the first weekend in march. i'm shooting for a saturday so that leaves us with the 14th, 21st, or 28th. we've got a tentative commitment from the dyno shop so i'll put a call in to the them tomorrow and see what their availability is and try to narrow the dates down a little.

let would like to see at least 5 tunes and once we get a specific date a refundable down payment from those committing. we can work out those details after i get a firm date.

I'm down with going but I don't want to waste anyone's time if I more than likely won't see any appreciable gain. LET, however, hasn't answered my PM to them so I'll play it by ear.

It quite ok The less I have to type. It seems like I'm living at Dyno-Comp this past week with the madness of this project.

If the project is done I will come in and have a dyno pull for you all to witness.

ok... we're shooting for saturday, 3/21/09 for our tuning day. hopefully i've answered all pm's and everyone that was waiting for specific info got what they needed. anymore questions, pm me or post them here and we'll get things sorted out.

as i mentioned earlier, let would like a 50% deposit before the event. i'm still working on the dyno details but i may ask for a deposit for that also. i'll let you know on that one.

so far we have several possible attendees that haven't claimed a spot but here's the list for those interested. we need 5 to make this work and we'll probably have to cap it at 8-10 due to time constraints so please keep that in mind. here's the list of people that have claimed their spot. i'll give deposit info this weekend.

1. chiromikey
2. i like soup
3. tectitek4e55
4. jturkel (C32)

Anyone down for drinks after? I wont be getting a tune, But I told Rich I would help him out since Dyno-Comp is not opened normaly on Saturdays. I might add that Dyno-Comp does have race fuel on sight.

don't expect anything earth shattering...dynocomp's machine is well regarded as the most conservative in az. although according to rich, i did have the highest hp 55k they've tested...whatever that means.

Sweet...looking forward to it! The 21st works great...what time?

Say, can LET do a 180mm pulley change right there and test the difference between that and what we have?

ok guys...it's time to commit. i need everyone on the list to pm me with their personal details and a mod list so let can get a preliminary tune started for your cars. they also require a deposit so i will give you the paypal details as well.

if there are any fence sitters, now is the time as the dyno shop wants a final count. so if you're already on the list, pm me asap...if not, you've only got a short time to sign up!

1. chiromikey
2. i like soup
3. tectitek4e55
4. jturkel (C32)
5. golllard

also, the dyno shop is charging $150/hr and i expect tuning will take roughly that long per car. unless they change their mind, that fee will be paid on site to the shop. if anything changes and they want a deposit i will take care of it but will be asking for a deposit in return to protect my butt.
