yes if I am not working I could do Friday, but if I have a new job that requires me to work Friday I would have to go to it. Maybe I could drop off my car and pay for it then get it after work.

well they can increase your RPM range as well as just smoothen everything out and tune it so your car makes the most out of what you have. If you have any mods a tune will just help you even more.

Had this tune done to my R56 JCW while at the Dragon this Spring - what a difference. Better drivability, more performance, no change in gas consumption.
I would recommend a tune if you are looking to smooth out your RPM range and/or if you have any mods done to the engine.

wow $150 for dyno run??????? WTF! I may have to rethink this..... I mean I paid $40 for a pull on a dyno day, last time I went to Ekstens for a tune it was $80. Why is the rate almost doubled for someone to come in and spend 15 minutes on the dyno with my car???

The dyno is $150.00. Same price the last 3 times there.
I've never seen a car done in 15 min. Each car takes at
least an hour.
