With the exception of anyone who may want to tackle a second map with some race gas and a million pounds of boost, I don't need a dyno to do the tuning. Consider it useful for extremely high load tuning plus getting power figures. $70-$100 for a few pulls is outrageously expensive.

But you need a wide band for road tuning correct? Do have one to provide for each car or is that up to us. That is the biggest reason i am going dyno

street tuning > dyno tuning

heat, load, cruise, 1/4 and 1/2 throttle, etc. doesnt get properly matched on a dyno. just not the same.

my beef with p1 is if you have a lean spike they will ride thru it. alot of cars have come off their dyno tuned for a certain boost and then when the car hits the streets it's boost changes. they don't change the values on the dyno for the different weights of the cars. BOB is the ****. good asian guy yes.

Ernst at RX7 World is interested in getting his single turbo with Haltech tuned, he wants to do it during the day Friday if at all possible, so that should be six people

Time and Place???

BDC<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I'm looking at getting my tune done Friday morning. If that's not going to work with you let me know. I want to make arrangements for the dyno now, but I need to find out if you are going to be able to tune that morning. Where do you prefer to meet and which dyno do you think would be best between the Mustang dyno and the dyno dynamics just for HP numbers?

Yep, I was confirming my travel dates with Mark (originally July 20-26) when I checked the paper tickets that Travelocity had sent me. They wound up sending me the wrong dates -- July 25 and July 27, which would've effectively left me with only one day to do anything. I talked to them but they said it was my fault. I don't see how in the world it is as I purchased the ticket off the website. Their customer service, I could swear, is in India, too. I spoke to 'Rachel' and 'Bruce' but oddly enough they had Urdu, Indian accents. Hmmm. Anyways, I sent the paper tickets back and will be contacting them tomorrow about a set of new dates. I am looking at first week of August so the trip will be put off by about 2 weeks. Hopefully this short delay won't trouble anyone and will hopefully allow others to get their vehicles in order if they infact aren't by the original dates.

This actually benefits me as my car is still being finished up and I still need to put some more break in miles on it to make sure everything is in order.

Brian; I'm hoping this is one BAD joke. I have been trying to get this car tuned for almost 4 months now and it seems like one BAD thing after another. I have made all plans around this tune and now we are moving it back two weeks. That's ok if you live in Charlotte, but what about the out of town guys that have been waiting on this since the original post of 05-07-06? Rescheduling leave with the Army is not fun, but I guess some things just have to be done. I really need to confirm the NEW dates ASAP, so if you could post AFTER you have your ticket that would help. I had a BIG race with a Dodge Neon SRT-4 Stage III that weekend after the tune.

At this rate you might get to see her in person. We are looking at buying a house out towards the Ballantyne area in Charlotte and meet in NC about once a month and since the first week in August is my B-Day I'm sure she will want to come. Hope you guys don't mind a female hanging around during the tune. You aren't the first one to comment on g/f or car and you really never know what you have until some one points it out for you. I'm in the process of trying to get into the car show scene when she comes down see if you can talk her into taking some car/model pics

FINALLY got the dates settled:

Thur Aug 10 in the early afternoon all the way to Tues Aug 15 in the early morning, so figure Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon to do some stuff. Hope this doesn't hurt anyone's schedule. By the way, I do not use a dyno as it's primarily used for getting power figures. I use the road, instead, where it's more realistic.
