If you are only doing a Dyno pull to get information, most shops charge a set price and give you a number of pulls
When you are combining that with Tuning, they normally give a price per hour because per pull doesn't make sense.

This thread could be about prostitution and I wouldn't need to change my above sentence.
 :lol:

Arabas

Definitely.  If time allows, I would still like to get over to the shop that did my original Dyno for a better comparison, but I am really looking forward to this and have a good relationship with the owner of the shop doing this Dyno day.

What does Dave dyno a tuned stock turbo. I think around ~300whp so 50 over tuned, that's nice.

A stock is usually maxed out at 285-290, the big wheel will go to 315

Had a guy follow me 7 or 8 blocks before pulling up next to me and ask "what kind of car is that? Is it imported???"  I replied, "It's a SATURN Sky."   To which he replied back, "SATURN?  Really? It doesn't look like any Saturn I've ever seen... Looks great!" 
..... then he made a U-Turn and left!   LMAO!!!!

I was at Dinner with my Wife, Dad and Sister last night.

While we were saying our goodbyes, 2 girls walked by, one of them looked at my Car and said
"Wow, I gotta hook up with the owner of that"
I started laughing and they turned around so I said.
"It's mine" They looked at Monica and she nodded her head.

I did nothing to my Kappa today.  Absolutely nothing.

It's sitting at home in my garage.   :(

I just felt like a little  :pw: action.
