Everyone that is interested, send me a PM with your e-mail address and real first name in it.

I have Jeff's instructions, and I would rather converse in a group e-mail, then post up the results. This is a GREAT opportunity guys, so jump on it. I am on vacation and will be back this weekend. Found a hotspot out in the desert to post this.

Were you going to email us the sliding costs? How many people are you thinking we need to get this going?

8 would be the "low mark" on my contract to make it cost effective for the participants, though even the 6 that are signed up would put the MM portion of the tab at only $200 per slot (FI takes two slots, BTW).
I don't know what the dyno operator is charging or what the other costs of the event might be.

Jeff, just sent you an e-mail to see if I have this correct. Or, do you want me to post the pricing info here in the thread? Or keep it more private with PM's to those interested?

OK, went ahead and sent everyone a PM. Look it all over, and ask questions. I think I have it firgured out.

If we were to get (6) NA cars and (1) FI car, then it would equate to $150 per NA car, and $300 for the one FI car, for Jeff’s time only. It looks like dondo is the only FI car, but he may not make it pending his schedule. Then there is the dyno rental of $600 for 9AM to 5PM. (7) cars would split this up to $86 each. So, $150+$85=$235 for a current customer MMCCS tune and dyno for the NA, and $385 for the one FI car. The more cars the better!

If we go over 8 hours of dyno time, then it is $100 per hour past 5PM.

This all assumes that we are enrolled in Jeff’s MMCCS e-tune program. You can buy in the day of the dyno to get the AccessPORT and pay the surcharge mentioned in the PM. Make sense?

We could also just make this a dyno day only, with no tuning by Jeff, if all you want is a baseline number...
