Ok here is what we are trying to do, this very important to act on this right away, I must have 15 confirmed slots by Friday. I can have a portable Dyno at the event. Jerry will be there to tune cars we must get at least 20 cars min, I must have a 100.00 non refundable deposit by credit card, I will not run any credit cards till I get 15 confirmed orders. Jerry will flash any ones EEC for 150.00 he will tune the car with a chip for 250.00. Jerry will tweaK Any one that has our tuning for 100.00. The reason for the Non refundable deposit is we will have to pay Richard Johnson to drive to Indy to set up his dyno there, the club nor my self cannot aford to pay this if we have a bunch of no shows, this is you chance to get the best tuning there is for our cars. Richard will also offer pulls just to check AF and RWHP # for 75 a pop.

So call me at 904-276-5003

Just confirmed my dyno pull, if you want to get it done you MUST call Dennis today or ASAP. We need at leat 15 confirmed via CC for this to happen folks. Please don't procrastinate as Jerry W. needs to make his plans and the dyno needs to be reserved.

Dennis,
I'll call you this after afternoon to reserve my spot on the Indy Dyno.
Questions:
1. I assume $75 is for 3 dyno pulls, no tuning. Right?
2. Dyno session at Indy is Fri. July 30th at what time and where?

Thanks,
Gordon B

Gordon, they dyno pulls will be at IRP, the dragstrip where we all will be running, as to the price,Dennis will have to answer that one:up:

Dennis,
When you have time, pls provide us the LOCATION of the Indy dyno and the planned schedule. I assume that there will be assigned times for each person. That way, we can do other things and not have to be there for the entire 9-4 dyno times.
Appreciate you feedback here.
I have signed up for a $75 3-pull with AF noted, but not a full-blown Dyno Tune. My goal is to get a documented baseline now that I have about 6000 miles on the car.
Thanks,
GordonB

Gordon, I am replying as to the location of the Indy Dyno because Dennis won't get back to you until later when his shop closes down(if then LOL) The plans are to have a portable dyno present at IRP, as to where at IRP, no one knows. Dennis will advise on the timing and such I am sure when we get all the deposits(15) roped in. The track opens at 8 and dragging starts at 9 until 4, track closes at 5. There should be enough time to get everyone in.
Hope this helps until Dennis can get back to you

mercman,
Thank you for the reply. IRP at/near the Drags is what I was hoping to hear so that we can do something else instead of just hanging out at the Dyno. I just want to get a baseline read on Blue MM. DTR MM now has about 168 miles -- not enough to take to Indy!

Dennis- I want this tune badly!!! I just tried the number but you were unavailable. Add me to the list and I'll call you in the am.

Come on folks!!!!- this is a great opprotunity.

Just out of curiosity, theres NO dynojet facility anywhere in the Indianapolis area (home of the Indy 500) that can accomodate our group, somebody has to bring a portable?

That's interesting.

Donny, Donny, Donny TSK TSK!

Of course there are NUMEROUS dynos in Indy that can accomidate us BUT!!
Would you travel all the way to Indy to sit around a shop and wait to get dyno'ed? We are bringing a portable one in so that people can run the quarter mile after they have done a pull, also the comraderie of fellow MM owners that will be at IRP is something you can't put a price on!! Watching dynos, and the members dragging will make for a full day. Hope this answers your inquiry!!

Even if it rains, that will not preclude having the dyno, it will be there Jerry will be there, the cars will be there. As for the dragging, we are at Mother Natures mercy. Keep those positive vibes coming :up:

I'm in. I can't pass up the chance to have the MM looked over by the masters!

I'm hoping to lock down an optomized DR tune with a chip so I don't have to worry about idle hands anymore.

Question for Dennis: If we've got one, do we need to bring our "personalized" cex file on floppy or is it just uploaded from the PCM prior to tuning / burning?

I'm in. Teamrope called in the CC# this moring for me. Mine is faster to 60 foot than his, but the factory tune gets weird from there. Anything over 35 MPH his is faster.

The car is in the shop getting a couple of dings fixed that happened in transit from the factory, so the dealer is installing the Denso's and the thermostat on Monday. (Good thing TR didn't put them in his yet. ;) )

I would like to know how much the tuner is, and if it has the capability to restore the factory tune if it has to go in for warranty work.

I looked through the previous threads and counted 13 commitments for tweaks and such . I would love for someone to explain to me if the pcm is flashed with a program change, what gets adjusted during a Dyno A/F?? Or Dyno is to reveal changes in program got the best possible HP & Torque achievment?can /should I start a new thread?:confused:

I'll take a shot at this.....


A mail order chip was tuned and set up for a car LIKE yours in specs.
But It's not 100% the same as your engine.
Due to manufactor tolerences 2 engines with the same parts may not be the same power wise.

A custom tune is just that,custom.
The dyno is used because it's a constant.
During a dyno tune ,yes the A/F ratio can be tweaked to make the most ,or best,power but so can the ignition timing,as well as knock,egr,map,maf,etc sensor calibrations.
Of course the tranmission performance can also be retuned to optimize shift points,TC lock functions and more...

I think guys that have had custom tunes are picking up around 10hp over a mailed chip or reflash.

The other thing is both Dennis and Jerry are constantly tweaking thier tunes so we also benifit from that constant R&D.

Truth is the above is just what I've picked up from friends who do this stuff,and what I've listed above is just a fraction of what can be tuned,trimmed and tweaked buy these guys with a lap top computer.

Thanks cyclone 03, by custom does that mean specific car on the dyno?Sounds like we are getting a bargain on this Generous offer!!It appears we need a couple more takers to make it worth thier while(vendor) Dont want to nag but How bout it guys&gals with stock PCM's, lezz roll !!the edgeumacation alone is worth it. (not counting tranny behavior):bounce:

Just a question, I just got back from vacation and perhaps I have missed something, we were told on 6/20/04 by Logan when he posted the itinerary, that Jerry W. would do a PCM flash at no charge, is this still a fact or has it changed since I was last online ???

This thread is about dyno, dyno tuning and flashing while on the dyno. It looks like the free PCM flash info has changed. It will still be a great deal!

My change from the generic chip program to an actual dyno tune went 293.2 to 302.4.
More importantly is the A/F tune makes sure the car is running as good as it possibly can, and the other benefits are the ability to tweak personal issues such as t/c lockup values, od shift points, WOT shift points, idle ranges in park or drive, emmision codes....the list goes on an on....to include secondary and tertiary programs on a single chip to compliment the situational issues such racing, traveling, valet modes, fuel types......again....on and on......

If you read the post the prices are out lined, there are no Free flashes. they normally run 300.00 a chip runs 325.00 and a Tunner runs 400.00. Now I have contacted SCT and I will be able to sell the tunners for 350 and the cables for those that want them for 75.00, here is what we can do for the dyno session, Jerry will flash any ones EEC for 150.00 he will tune the car with a chip for 250.00. Jerry will tweaK Any one that has our tuning for 100.00. The reason for the Non refundable deposit is we will have to pay Richard Johnson to drive to Indy to set up his dyno there, the club nor my self cannot aford to pay this if we have a bunch of no shows, this is your chance to get the best tuning there is for our cars. Richard will also offer pulls just to check AF and RWHP # for 75 a pop. Now if any one has a tune from us or a chip and its not right we will fix that for free, plus any dyno time.
I will offer a lower flash for customers that do not want ant dyno time.

Right now we need just a few more confirmed commitments, and its all locked in, So please call today.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, there will NOT be any free flashes at MV2. This was originally to be part of the IRP day of dragging.
However, flashes and custom tuning will be available at a reduced price.
If there are any questions regarding this, please contact Dennis

Thanks
