my good friend nick is a awesome mechanic and my go to guy on hondas, he tuned my car and runs the dyno at mcs performance diesel in grey summit, he is a diesel mechanic, but he loves hondas and is really good at working on them, should i drop him a line for you guys?

well i have 2 options

1) we can have a dyno day where we each get three consecutive(spelling?) pulls 2 powers and a quarter mile pull, but that will not allow much time for a tune, this would be the best option if a lot of people are going to go so more people can get on the dyno. I know this doesnt teach you much about tuning, but I am throwing it out there just as an option

2) we can work it out so one or 2 of us can go up a day at a time, this is because tuning a car right, is not a fast process, and I wouldnt want 7 people waiting to get on the dyno while one person tunes his car you know? It will be more expensive because we are using more time on the dyno. You must also have a laptop, a chipped ecu, burner, cam gears, adj fuel reg. etc. (Something that allows you to tune your engine)I think this should go without saying though.

I can work out some prices, dates etc if I get some feedback. Also if there is a better option I am always open to new or better ideas.

I do not have cam gears, adj fuel pressure reg. on my car, I only have a chipped ecu, this is the only thing I could tune on my car, on the other hand I have a lot of stuff done to the engine and tranny, but, by just tuning the ecu I was able to get 10 more hp and .6 seconds off of my 1/4 mile time (which was measured on the dyno)

also I dont think you can drive the car on the dyno, the dyno operator has to drive the car.
