Good looking ride Denny.

I remeber when those first came out and 100hp per litter was a BIG deal.

Maybe you can have the first DSM with MIVEC?

[QUOTE=dennyt4;5323202]C'mon - get everthing on already...you have CHEAP labor!!!!!!

I know...I got a "bad set" of the cosworth cams. The pin in the end of the intake camshaft is too short. One of the local guys here blew up his engine b/c of it. I'm glad one of the local guys here caught it with my cams. We were in the process of installing them when he noticed. I have been dealing with TTP and cosworth for the last couple weeks. That's the delay.....

And more than likely, you're not going to have 9 people involved, so it will increase your dyno $ per person. More like $500 a person. Is it worth it???
Well man looks like your right, here is the info I got from CBRD and Jestr.

Tentative date March 15th have to confirm ASAP!
Dyno 900 for the day divided by the number of cars.
Jestr Tune 350 with 100 dollar nonrefundable deposit

Would love to hear some feedback from you guys. What do you think and who
all would be interested?

Mike

Well do you guys want me to see what CBRD would charge for a tune?
Have you guys ever heard of DTM Motorsports? I talked to Nick
from DTM a few weeks ago and he seemed like a great guy. Tune was
350 bucks and the more you got the cheaper it was. I'm just trying set
something up that 5 or more cars could do cause I think it will be alot
cheaper. Plus will be a fun trip! Let me know, If the group thing isn't
going to happen, I'm going to schedule something solo.

I'm in the wrong business......wow thats expensive. My car would still be stock if i couldn't tune myself - could never afford tune after tune to keep the car running fresh.

Well like I said guys, DTM is 350 and that includes dyno time and he has a load
bearing Mustang just like Chad. Unfortunately unless your like trav and tune
it yourself, your not going to get much cheaper then that. Now the Jestr tune
with chad dyno time yes that's to pricey even for my taste. I'm just trying to help
everyone out and coordinate something I don't set the prices.
