TX Texas BHR Dyno Day

Okay guys,

I am looking to put together a BHR Dyno and possibly having them attend and partially sponsor the event. This would include AP tuning for those who have paid for the MM AP service. Anything extra would have to be Pre-approved and arranged by BHR.

Let's talk about where and who, when, etc. I think San Antonio or Austin (Cobb's headquarters is there) would be a good central location.

Suggestions welcome but if you have no interest then please don't bother posting or clogging up this thread with useless input. I would also suggest some type of deposit would be in order to assure people don't back out and ruin the whole thing.

Come on Texas, this is a chance to get an AP personally tuned by BHR.

Sounds like it would be a lot of fun, I know we up here in Dallas would be interested but we are actually going to be having a dyno day with MVP Motorsports after the state event, which you guys are welcome to come to as well.

Meh, dyno's are a dime a dozen, I want AP tuning. It would be fun to roll up there though so I don't have to Dyno alone.

Well if MM would come to tune it would be well worth the $495.00. **** they got 5HP just by adjusting the dwell settings on a a guy that had the BHR ignition. That's as much as you get from a $700.00 exhaust. 20WHP and increased reliability and MPG make it worth while to me. I hope we can get this going.

Nice. I hope folk are interested. I already have my car tuned by MM/AP, so I won't need that anymore, but it would be nice to meet the guys.

Yeah, plus I think live tuning on a dyno may net you some additional HP.

I would definitely be interested, since I just paid for the calibration service on the 15th. Submitted my datalogs, hoping to get a tune before Texas8, but still would be fun.
