Anyone here know if there is an upcoming dyno day in the next few weeks? ... or maybe an affordable tuning event?

I was quoted $100/hour flat rate at the place up off Sarno
in Melbourne, the other month. If you can prepare a rack
of tune files, pull & jam the next, etc. you ought to be able
to cover the tune-space pretty well in an hour's time. Go
with the one that turns out the best (though you would
likely find that perhaps one tune is better down low and
another up high, indicating you would want to pick the
timing and fuel cell by cell RPM-wise from whichever file
came out on top at a given point, stitch them together
and smooth them in.

The "dyno days" I've seen have been like 3 pulls for $40 and
like that. Seems like you could do >2X better than that in
an hour-long block if you came prepared.

I think you'd be better off going when it's quiet and renting
the time-block, than sitting in line waiting for your 3 pulls.
Unless you want to socialize.

Talk to Mike Norris of NLP. I will be going out there next month to tune with a few other people.

I've heard they do good work. Do you know about how much he charges for a tune using a wideband sensor?

Here's another local shop:

LaMotta Performance
715 N. 17-92
Longwood, FL
(407) 695-4549

Their dyno should be in sometime this December.

Just contact Mike Norris, he is a sponsor on the right, NLP. He can answer that for you.

Bill at Lamotta Perfomance did my cam about a year ago ... did a real clean job of it. Yeah, Jake and the guys there are good people to talk with. I was there two weeks ago and they seemed to think the dyno may be in the graound and ready sometime after Jan 17th.
I'll probably leave the tuning up to Mike Norris' folks. Simply because Lamotta's place has an external guy who comes in to tune cars and is very expensive. I understand that Norris' place does it in-house.

Mike Norris is one of the best tuners around. He has done close to 1000 LS1 cars and has tuned every combination you can think of. They`ve been doing alot of forced induction stuff but he is excellent with na or nitrous LS1s. The only other person in central FL that is good w/LS1s is Tim Slopper at Macedo Motorsports.

I know who Tim Sloper is at Macedo. He seems to be OK ... did some tuning on my car last summer. I believe I will go with Norris Motorsports. He seems to get a lot of customer satisfaction feedback from what I have seen here and at other places.
