Add your names to the list with available date(s). So far the 20th or the 27th seem to be the best so let me know which works best, or if both will work for you. I just need to know so I can give the speed shop hosting the dyno day a definite date by Monday.

Alright so a quick update on the dyno day situation.

I've spoken with a couple different shops and so far J&M Motorsports in Manchester is looking to be the best bet. The shop that I originally wanted to go with has unfortunately jacked up their rates considerably so they are definitely out at this point. I'm going to call back J&M tomorrow and try to lock in Saturday the 27th for a date seeing as how that seems to be the fan favorite so far.

As far as cost for the dyno day, this is where we stant thus far. The total cost for us to rent the dyno for a dyno day will be $800. That may seem like a big chunk but put it this way: If we can get 10 cars on the dyno, the cost for each person is $80. If we can get 12 cars the price dips down to $67, so on a so forth. The max we will be allowed is 15 cars so spread the word! If we do get 12 cars on the dyno $67 is a pretty slammin deal for 3 pulls, with a/f and boost read outs on the dyno sheet. I am going to ask him about the possibility of mixing in a few other different vehicles just in case anybody has someone in mind that might want to get in on this as well, so definitely let me know.

If anyone has any questions or issues by all means feel free to ask away.

Let's keep the list going!

1)09Cobaltss1 (John), dyno 8/20 or 8/27
2)CTCar (Dan), dyno? ?
3)elecblue06 (Kyle), dyno 8/20 or 8/27
4)GOONIE (Carmine), dyno 8/20 or 8/27
5)NicossGuerrera (Nico), dyno
6)eccarwiz (Ethan), dyno 8/27
7)g5gt2007 (Chris) dyno 8/20 or 8/27
8)cobaltss 16 (Sandro) dyno 8/27

Yeah it reads a little higher then TK.com's Mustang, but it's nothing out of the ordinary for a dynojet. Are you going to jump on the dyno with us Chris? You know you want to!

I think it's all included in the price regardless and most likely won't effect the price per person one way or another but I can definitely ask him tomorrow.

Yeah I've been there quite a few times myself, which is a big reason why they were one of my top choices. Mike's definitely a good guy who knows his stuff.

Due to you having a Trifecta tune on your car he will have to start from scratch and that will cost you big bucks. Most speed shops charge a minimum of $350-$500 for a tune which will usually take at minimum a solid hour or 2 to complete. So I doubt he would be willing to attempt that on the dyno day.

If you're still interested I can get that tune fixed for you. We just need to set up a day and time to meet up.

When Mike at J&M tuned me with 42's, 2.9", ect... made 267/241. But then when you tuned me with 60's, 2.75", ect... TK.com said I was 255/236 so go figure.... I was just thinking people will feel better going to a dynojet.

And you know they're 15% higher at J&M than TK.com so I was still happy with the tune dont get me wrong

But yeah I wanna strap this whale down and see what she spits out just hard up for cash lately because of the wedding and all... and I got my first speeding ticket last week... 42 in a 25, at 7:00am going to work... so they want $175 for that
