Hi all,

We only have slots for 12 DYNO tunes, I have 3 slots on Friday and 2 on Saturday open, I think one of the Saturday slots is filled. Waiting on an email.

I need some of the interested parties to PM, email or call me to schedule a time.

I talked with Jan today, he is going to PR for vacation then flying back in to do some race tuning.

Our dyno schedule has changed. Jan is flying to Denver Friday morning, no tunes will be done Friday AM. So I revised the schedule.

Here is the cost: R53/R50 $350 for the tune, 1HR dyno time $100. = $450

Here is the cost: R56/55/57 $600 for the tune, 1HR dyno time $100 = $700

If you use more dyno time, then you pay $25 per 1/4 hour.

You will pay the dyno shop direct for dyno time.

You will pay Jan/RMW for the tune. Bring cash/check/credit or debit card.

If you have special arrangement for payment, please work that with Jan direct.

MAC will take debit/credit or cash.

I did ask Jan to get back to a couple of folks who have outstanding PM/emails to him, it may take a while due to vacation and travel.

He is supporting RSR on a National basis, which is taking a lot of time.

Thanks to all who are signed up for a slot and helping make this happen.

Don

 

FRIDAY

Saturday

 

Sunday bump.

If you don't get to me by Tuesday of this week with details, I will presume you do not want to tune on Friday or Saturday, thus off the list.

Looking forward to seeing the signed up folks on Friday PM and Saturday.

Don

 

Wed. bump

 

An a bump for today. 3 to dyno today. At 1pm, Jan gets in about 11:30.

 

Let us know how today goes. I'm excited for tomorrow!

 

I really want to see intercoolest numbers! We had very similar dyno results last time and have similar mods...

 

I will capture some information. Should be interesting.

Of course, I will take a picture or two. Off to the airport, then MAC.

 

I'm sure they are still working but the first one went well

I will not steal Don's thunder but will say our Lilly pulled some strong numbers !!!! The last 4 days in the garage paid off

Base run was 193.51 HP and 173.65 TQ - I'll let Don post the finals after Jan did has magic


BTW - Jan does not have horns

 

MORE MORE MORE! I can't wait until tomorrow...

 

sorry - going driving

 

Let's race...

 

I'm sure you meant race as in "lets race to the store (obeying all traffic regulations and posted speed limits)" ...

 

Sure


Shadyj - we need to go out to HPR and play

 

Actually it was a good day, bad day.

Intercoolest has some boost issues so was not able to retune, might be a simple leak or a need for a new SC. Sucks!

But we did have a stellar dinner at the local BBQ house recommended by Nick!

Hippie (Lilly) made the best numbers of all the R53 MCS, so far. He made better numbers than we got last Feb. in the cool Colorado winter.

A hint: since I did not steal his file and I did not write down his final run, it was over 200HP.

I think I will let Jeff post the numbers, since they are his.

Scooter was down a bit from the February runs, I will do another baseline in December with the 16s to see if I gain it back with cooler temps and the 16s.

Baseline today: 190.50HP and 229.71TQ
After about 1.5hrs of dyno time: 192.93HP 263.51TQ and very safe A/F.

But you should see the curve of TQ, it should help that dig out of those HPR corners. Very smooth tune and it's a beast with sport mode engaged.

 

My car would not build more than 8psi boost & was running lean. We tried looking for a boost leak & found nothing wrong.

Going home, from Parker to Franktown my car all of a sudden stumbled & the ABS, Traction Control & Flat Tire warning lights all came on. I called Jan & he said to reseat the main wire connection under the hood. I just wiggled it since it did not want to pull apart. Car ran like new the rest of the way home but check engine light came on...????

Electrical Gremlins is all Jan could come up with. ???

 

OK Don - I'll list the #'s No complaints from us

Rockin 204.90 HP at 177.83 ft/lbs TQ

IMO at this altitude those are some dayum good numbers

Don - good stuff - for Scooter

and the tq curve on our's is hot also - that is what I was hoping for from Jan and it is right on

suks about Intercoolest's ride - I was looking forward to see how I stacked up against him and shady

 

We will get Mike's MINI done, just not this time. Panther should do well once all the nits are fixed.

 

Some of todays, pictures. I forgot to get the brisket pictures.

DYNO Day - Friday.

 

Wow - I look ugly and pissed off in that one pic

glad that's not the real me

 

That is the look of concentration, the old 'dyno and learn'.

Btw, nice job on the mods.

 

LIAR!!! LIAR!!!! LIAR!!!!'
