Well, the guy in Socal who tuned my car put it plainly: you drive on the road daily, not on the dyno. Hence, tuning my car using real world applications only makes sense. Besides, he charged me a third less than others that have to pay for a dyno, shop rent, etc... This guy was a genius too; he's a professor @ UCLA who's a part of the SCCA Circuit. He Races on the weekends and when he's not teaching. He also owns a Evo VIII and a Nissan SE-R race car. Therefore, I know he's not tuning for the $$$; he's tuning because he was tired of other tuners ripping customers off and not being able to produce a good/safe tune for them.

I updated the OP with the time for Sunday. We're gonna plan to leave Raleigh at 11:30 to head to the track. Not sure where we'll meet in Raleigh yet... maybe in Brier Creek so we can easily get to I40?
