RMW Custom Dyno Tuning Rollcall

Hi Gang!
Jim's been the lead on hooking us up with Jan's crew (aka Revolution Mini Works) & getting a date scheduled for us to custom dyno tune our Mini's here in Fresno (or another location as applicable). We need a list started/confirmed for people who'd like to have this done. Once we've reached the desired number of people, we can coordinate with Jan on time/date/place/etc.
Cost will be finalized, but Blake/1nf3rn0's said approximately $350.00 + dyno time (usually $100.00) as an estimate. Since I've gotta hang-10 on tearing my engine apart due to my super-cool FFR (Financial Flow Restrictor, my better half-Cookiehead), I'm really looking forward to Jan getting the Frackmobile pumped up as much as possible sans engine tear-down.

Let's get this party started:
1. Joe/Fracky
2. Dr.Steve/SRTech
3. Jim/JIMINI

Ok, one thing we need to do is find a dyno that Jan likes. He said either a Dynapak or a Dyno- dynamics, any of those in town?

The expensive one in town is a Dyno Dynamics. You can contact Dynapack USA here in Fresno at:

Address:
2617 N. Fowler Ave.
Suite 102
Fresno, CA 93727

Email: sales.us@dynapack.com

Free: 877 674 4450

Maybe they would cut us a deal if there was a shop with one in Fresno.

Good morning gang!
I PM'd Jan last night to ask a couple questions & he got back to me right away. We need 5 commitments for Jan to make the trek to Fresno (currently we have 4 people). Also, since this will be the first time I've dyno-tuned a car, I wasn't sure if we needed to advise on mods already on our car(s), etc. For those of us with software (I think Dr.Steve & I are the only ones), we need to reflash back to the stock software. The only item Jan wants to ensure is that our supercharger belts are good working condition.

So far we have:
1. Joe/Fracky
2. Dr.Steve/SRTech
3. Jim/JIMINI
4. Randy/Checkers

Who's going to be lucky car #5?

My car is going back to the shop on Friday ofter TH and being taken a part for some painting and polishing for about 2 weeks and then I'll be ready.
Jan seems to be committed for the next few weeks, so it should not be a problem for me.

Hey Joe, I included this quote from CAP49, it seemed he was interested. I PM'ed him a few days ago, haven't got a response yet. Do you know how to get a hold of him, he might not get on NAM very often.

I'm going to be at Thunder Hill tomorrow and I'll see if someone needs a tune. There has to be someone in the area that needs their car tuned. I'll let you know. All we need is one more car? Right?

Dude, just get a small personal loan from The International 1st Federated United Bank of Jen. Unfortunately, my funds are tied up in the "Save the VISA Foundation".

That would be why I don't have credit cards and pay cash for everything.

Yeah, but what about the frequent flyer miles & VISA points? You can get free stuff by spending money & build your credit all at the same time.
