The FD race car will need to be dyno tuned, since it only has one seat (and due to the roll cage, there really isn't even room for another person!!).

so $400 US gets you how much tuning?

"till it's done" or just a couple hours or what?
From my experience, Steve tunes till the car is done. (He's got a rep to uphold.)

Or something mechanical happens where he can't continue. Even then he'll try to help you fix it.

I'd really rather dyno tune my car, preferably on a mustang or dynapack, dynojets are poo!

it's just hard to do 4th gear pulls on the street more than once or twice without attacting attention heh.

can he deal with any EMS? I mean it's pretty straightforeward but im just making sure

Dyno tune = You will all get tuned....With out anybody getting killed....
Street Tune = Yes it is the best way....But you can't control the weather and Murphys Law.
It takes about 45mins. to a hour to tune a stock car with your basic mods., Steve can tune just about every ECU on the market.... Money well spent.

I have about 2 or 3 spots left.

This is what i have
rob- street tuning during the day
nik - fd race car after 6pm
kenji (street or dyno)?

I have one spot left for street during the day in mosport back roads if kenji doesn't want it.
And 1-3 dyno spots depends how late the dyno is open and when Steve wants to stop after the race car.

In general, a street tune 'should' give you better driveability. Since it is real driving. I say should because with enough dyno time, the car can be dialed in just the same. But, of course, a 4th gear pull till redline can get you a ticket. And solid state running is a little bit harder on the street since there are always factors that cause you to accelerate and decelerate. On a dyno you can just dial in a certain speed (rpm) and then change load with the gas pedal.

One of the best reasons for dyno tuning, is you will see how the changes you have made to your map affect the torque/power curve of the car. This is especially important when tuning your ignition map. The dyno plot will show you when your tweaking results in very little extra gain in relation to engine safety.

a 4th gear pull till redline can get you more than a ticket :P

I'm interested in a dyno tune!

my car is running and driving, I still have some issues with it but I think that 95% of them are tuning.

the price is $400 for a "till it's done" street tune, correct? Do I have to bring cash or can you take a credit card?

what time, where, etc, is this happening

if I have everything working on my car (and I'll know by tonight) then you can count me in, the car has enough KM on it now that it can see boost.

$400 USD cash yes it is a street tune

It will be in Mosport area.

It will start sometime around 9:30am 10:00am and right now there is 3 car before you. Not sure what time he will get to each car.
