Dave:

I'm interested in getting a Dyno Tune in the next couple of weeks. I would like to "Base line" the car before Modding it up. I'm leaning towards Head and Cam package with ZO6 Headers and Corsa Indy exhaust. I don't want to go too radical since I may want to add a 5psi Supercharger down the road. I figure to start Modding by early next year Say Jan-Feb-Mar. Anyway, whats the deal with a dyno tune? Can we do it on a Saturday? Thanks

We can base line the car on a Saturday, but we don't tune on Saturdays. I would wait to tune your car until more work has been done. We can match up a cam for your future plans.

Dave,
What kind of performance gains do you expect on stock 99 mn6 with the only mods being Ti exhaust and blackwing ?

Thanks

Mag Red, Dave is at the PRI show this week and has limited internet access, if any at all. I am sure he will address any questions you may have at his earliest convenience :cheers:

Do the pistons need to be flycut at all? If the car had cats would it pass a sniffer? I just remembered that my are just hooks up the scanner to the pc. SO, as long as there's no codes and there are some cats it'll pass!
