Please signup Ryan Laysic for Saturday or Sunday (contact 401 841-2008 Work). I'll see if the other guy is still interested.

Bishop Motorsports is in an industrial building set back 100 yards or so from Rte 44; maybe 1/4 mile (as the crow flies) from the movie theaters. From the car wash on 44 (across from McDonald's), travel a few hundred yards west on 44, and it's the very next left, maybe halfway up the hill. Having had work done at Bishop earlier this year, I've just got to give them 2 thumbs way up!

Thanks for all you have done. I will be attending the tune in Rochester as it is much closer.
Thanks, Steve

Does anyone know what Bishops will charge for the dyno time? I understand the tune is $350, but would love to get total cost pinned down.

We could still use a few more people, as I'd like to make it at least 10 cars in total.

It's not as far up the hill as the fence place or the La Trattoria restaurant (which is across the street). If you see either one of them, you've gone 100-200 yards too far.

No, not necessarily. I just put everyone on the list in no specific order honestly. It would just be best for those who can get there by 9, to do so, that way they can get things rolling with tunes and injector installs.

Sorry I forgot to mention...Kyle said that the dyno requires removal of the wheels, so please bring your wheel key if you have wheel locks, otherwise they may not be able to get the wheels off and then they wouldn't be able to dyno/tune.
