Well if its that far, I would def need some notice ahead of time. Around 4-5 hr drive from here, and would have to do leave for work.

Not really looking to get my car tuned at this time, but another dyno option is Paradise Racing https://paradiseracing.com/

They could rent their Dyno for a tuning session.

Well still onboard with some notice and not being the same as some other shows I am in. Nice ol 5 hr drive.

And also see if he has a pre dyno/tuning checklist. I know most places or tuners have them so everything is up to spec and not wasting peoples time.

Usually easier traffic wise to just leave super early morning anyways. I would want to see if they have some predyno checklist requirements so nobody is wasting time. Would hate to do 8hr drive just to have something small stop it.

Hi guys. I spoke with Jose about this and would be more than happy to rent my dyno for a tuning session.

I have the newest model Mustang AWD dyno with load control, which is the industry standard for tuning. (yes it does 2wd as well). I have all the options including dual wideband pickups, tail pipe sniffer, coil pickup and obd2 hookup, boost pickup, weather station, etc. I have a very robust fan setup and plenty of ventilation. I have the long ramps so driving onto and off the dyno is no issue, even for lowered cars.

Pricing has not been finalized but I am thinking in the neighborhood of $200-300 per car for the dyno rental depending on how many cars, plus whatever the tuner charges. This would include the typical 2-3 hours of dyno time that it takes to tune a car, as well as the services of my employees to load/unload and strap/unstrap cars. For liability reasons I cannot have outside individuals operate the dyno themselves. I can also provide any services that may need to be done on the spot such as pre-dyno inspection, replacing spark plugs or fixing minor issues, which will be billed on an hourly basis.

Please note that we do have our own in-house tuner who tunes for us exclusively, so any car for this tuning session must be booked through Jose or Nelson and any liabilities of such shall be addressed with them. I am only providing the rental of my dyno.

Well that seemed to die out. And now my usb port on my ecu went out so I have to wait on adaptronic in australia to figure something out so I can send in and get repaired.

Depending on Date, June is a no go for me. If July, I would commit. Car has been in storage for some time but runs. E6K. Single T78.

If July or later Id be in.

Really just the week of july 22 for me just cause of the big show in Vir beach. Although still battling with turbosource on my ecu repair. Shows its been in their mailbox not picked up for a week now and haven't had the best luck with these guys but it was the only choice besides going for a new ecu.
