here is the reply from them.

We would like to see a minimum of 10 cars at 75.00 per car, no tuning, 3
pulls each.

Or we can do 5 pulls for 100.00 each, and will allow very minor changes,
flash a different tune or change an air intake or turn up the boost you get
the Idea.

We do Dyno Day on available Saturdays.

Yeah, getting it tuned right is the main point, but they're supposed to do that before getting onto the Dyno. When you have 8 or 9 carz waiting for the dyno, it isn't fair or fun to stop everything while one guy pulls out his tools and timing light and spends even 5 minutes on his car. That's supposed to happen in your driveway the day before. The dyno is supposed to be used to show you your results. It's not a tune-up garage while others are waiting. If you want to tune after your first pull, you should go to the back of the line and let the others play thru.

When Bryan Little accepted his new role as Motorsports Director, one of the first things he told us was that he intended to line up a Dyno Day each year for this Club. I know he is talking to several Dyno places around the state now, searching for the best deal for us.

That's not to say none of us could not or should not set up a day ourselves, but this early in the year there might be too few cars ready to make a good showing. Usually the more cars we can produce, the lower the cost to individual members. If he can arrange (for example) a $40 3-pull run, why would we want to spend $75 for the same?

I, for one, am pretty anxious to put my Z onto a Dyno to zee the results of all the work done to it last year (before I blow something up!)
I don't expect huge numbers, but I know it's well above the stock 151bhp at the flywheel now. RWHP is really where it's at, tho ~ that's what actually counts.

Ok...just to be clear
you pull...get out of the way...tune...get back in line
hard to believe other scenarios exist...

That sounds like a good deal, although I would be willing to pay more for the "tuning" time in between. Count me in, obviously pending time & date
