Nor-Cal is cheaper. Here in So-Cal the typical rate for an hour's worth of dyno time is $100-$150.

Just to let all you naive ones know, this is the guy who blew his STS Camaro up less than a week ago. But then again he's the president so its probably a free fix.

Competiton is a good thing for the consumer bad for the company! LOL
To be honest there has not even been one person to come in on their own to tune, or even ask to do so. We Don't have many locals that DYI if you know what I mean.

That's funny it was just running in my driveway two days ago, should check your info before you go spinning your wheels.

Then I was right. The minute you blew it you started to work on it right away. Perks of being president must be nice.

Just remember if you do that to a customers car they won't have the opportunity to get right back on it. It costs money and time for everyday people.

Actually,
The car is fine with the ORIGINAL engine in it still, I simply have ben trying to keep it out of the 110+ temps as much as possible so the paint won't look like hell in a year. But don't you worry i have something coming very soon that will be "better than stock" for you local guys to deal with...
