On April 24th, 2010, Defenders of Speed will be hosting a dyno and tuning day in Saint Louis. There are two options for those interested in attending:

1) Come and have your car dyno'ed to see how much horsepower and torque your MINI actually puts to the pavement. Your car will get 3 pulls on a Dynapack Dynamometer for $80.00 to establish your car's performance baseline.

2) If you feel like you'd still like more our of your MINI after your baseline dyno, have Clint tune your ECU to reap more performance out of your little beast. He will be tuning all supercharged and turbocharged MINIs from 2002 and onward to improve power delivery, overall horsepower, and torque output. Pricing is $80.00/hour for dyno time and $250 for tuning.

The Details:

Saint Louis MINI Club member Elizabeth Hileman is a friend of the dyno shop owner. She has helped to set us up with a reduced dyno rental rate of $80.00/hour (instead of the normal $100.00 per hour that the shop normally charges).

Clint will only be coming to town if at least 4 cars are signed up for a tuning session. If we can get more than 8 cars signed-up. we may be able to get the dyno rental rate down to an even lower rate (TBD). The maximum number of MINIs that Clint has agreed to tune in one day is 8. This ensures that he has adequate time to carefully tune your MINI's ECU for safe performance on the street and track. If enough interest is generated, we are considering adding another day to the calendar adjacent to 4/24/10.

Please email Clint at DoS directly to let him know if you're interested in attending this St. Louis MINI Club event and for more information concerning the event. He can be reached at clint@defendersofspeed.com .
