Ive got a couple 'test' cars that we'll be tuning to get the feel for the dyno operation as well as the tuning flow. After the comfort level has set in, we will offer dyno tuning on customer vehicles.
When Can I bring mine up and see what it does? what do you think your rates are going to be for pulls?

Let me know when you guys get together some weekend.

whats going on fellas? Jason, good to see your still playing around with the toys. Scott, how are you man? I havnt done ANYTHING with my car in the last few months. Have a little one on the way, so all money is going in to getting the house ready, and trying to get some debt paid off before Amanda pops. Im looking to get a few small parts to try and get most of the motor assembled here with taxes, then I should be able to atleast drive it.

MMmmm Dyno times are finally here! Will you be able to tune on the cars as well? I know Mike said that was the goal but wasn't sure if your that close yet? I'd to change up my shift points before race season.

Going to be dyno tuned soon, gotta get the gears swapped out & the 5 lug stuff on first. Hoping for some progress yet this week, my bday is Saturday, so I guess it being "done" is my present to myself.

Here is a teaser pic for now, I'll get some better ones tomorrow.

Looking good UNSTANG. I've had my 88 mustang out a couple times and all I can say is wow. Alot of fun for such a light car. 18in wheels and 295 drag radials don't really hold to well even at 55-60mph. Time for some weld 15in wheels and some slicks.

I got to drive my Mustang for the first time yesterday. It only has a base/start up tune in it, so keeping it out of boost. But, it was badass!!!

Funkster-Anything under a 101 is a small, street car turbo.
