Post NE Ohio guys, lookie here!

One of my biggest grips is finding a local dyno shop....well look at this.

http://www.bigshotdyno.com/

This place is 10 miles from my home.

One thing that I have noticed is the fastest cars normally have one of these in the local area for great tuning. Now we NE Ohio guys have one so we can start turning out some bad 4th gens. I know Lakewood has one, but can you get ahold of the guy? This is a shop.

Pricing I have gotten from a flyer.

$50.00 one pull,
$65.00 three back to back pulls,
$10.00 for AFR monitoring,
$135.00 per hour.

Group rates or 4 or more hours get special pricing.

I am stoked about this!

About time! I need to run my car on a dyno real bad. I had my computer tuned by PCMForless and I think its waaaaaaaay off. My O2 sensor voltage never goes below 850mV. I need to know if its all the way through the power band before I sent it back to him for adjustment. When I get back from Chicago next week I know where I'm going

BTW, "I'm stoked" is a term I use alot and until today I thought I was the only one using it

After the winter I will need my car tuned bad also.

Anyone down for D42 on Sept. 20th? That is my next open Friday. Hopefully some cool air by then.

Did you get the entire regulator or just the "Hat-kit" I installed mine when I had the intake off of the car, so I never had the clearance/access problem you will have. If you got the hat-kit I think the best way would be to remove the whole regulator anyway and work on it off the car. To remove the old clamp I simply ground it off using a bench grinder.

Let me know if you want a hand...I became an "expert" on fuel rails after I did my intake manifold fix. hahaha. A second set of hands never hurts.

I'll be there tomorrow morning between 8:30am and 9:30am. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll make atleast 330rwhp. I'll let you guys know how it goes and how good of a place it is.

Thumbs down

It didn't go that good today, me and CANTONRACER waited over 2 hours for their electricity to come back on, in the end we just left. I'm going back Monday night after I get off of work, sometime between 6:00pm and 6:30pm.

Atleast they gave us free shirts and pens for waiting, I just hope they'll give us a discount for all the trouble too
