I'm definitely taking off of work for this but i don't need any more proof that my car is slow, so it's a no-go on the dyno. Unless you guys really wanna see my 2.8 make a riveting 140 horses.

We would like as many people as possible to pre-pay, however if you pay now and don't have a car to dyno, we can't offer a refund.
I would say just do your best to get your work done, there is still about 20ish spaces available on the dyno.

seeing that each person gets 4 pulls can we do 2 pulls on one car and then 2 pulls on another or no?

I'm gonna go ahead and say no to that one. It takes as much time (if not more) to load and unload a car on the dyno as it does to make the pulls. Allowing this will limit the number of people and cars that will be able to make it onto the dyno during the day, and that's bad for everyone.

 it just takes too long to get the car ready, back it onto the dyno, strap it down and take 2 pulls then take another 10 mins to strap another car down...they are already giving people a HUGE break on their prices they barely break even on dyno days...its more of a meet & greet to get more business in the future.

Well it's easy for him to become a member, just give him the link and tell him to fill out the registration and post up.

That stinks, but like you said we really can't complain about the deal everyone is getting. Was it a time issue, or just a conflict of interest thing with their own tuner?

a little of this a little of that & the fact that if they do run short on time later their might be that person that says well he did so and so with his car why cant I kind of a thing. Again its not a big deal I could care less about dyno numbers...i made damn close to 400hp and could barely break into the 12's with carteks tune

once it is dialed in your could easily go over 200 with those mods. the biggest weakness in any stock 3rd gen V8 is the cam, they were retarded small.
once it is together it will jsut take a little bit of tweaking of the timing and carb to get it moving a ton better.
