5) X Rx8 / '05 MT / NA / New AP Purchase & MMCCS Tune + Dyno $731
6) Interpol / '04 MT / NA / Current AP Owner & MMCCS New Enrollment Customer Tune + Dyno $386
7) dannobre / '04 MT / NA / Current AP Owner & MMCCS New Enrollment Customer Tune + Dyno $386

Is that what you guys calculated?

yeah thats what i calculated. 7 is a good number to fit into an 8 hour day right? isn't that enough to get this going?

I think the only ones that are 100% are:

me, dondo, and pdxhak

and1kidd, X Rx8, Interpol, & dannobre need to confirm. Then I will send the reserve money to secure the day, and alert Jeff.

That is some serious beans, but you will love the outcome. Trust me. I was an early purchaser of the AP and MMCCS, ran for a long time, then spent the money on a dyno tune with shaun. Car drove great but gave up the ghost to compression loss. Then I dropped mega dead green presidents on the rebuild, bought in again to the MMCCS at full price, and now I'm going to dyno tune again! Plus I am signed up for the AccessTuner Webcast series....

Good Lord, you would think I love this car.

It is all good. I do not consider the AP purchase as part to the dyno day. It is means to an end and something I need to purchase regardless.

Numbers got bumped by $50 for each tune, since one person just wants a dyno maybe now. You guys can pick on him if you want. (If he drops out of the dyno portion, that will bump us another $14 more each for the Surgeline portion.)

Now we for sure need more involvement to bring the numbers back down...

OK, looks like this is it guys. The Northern Cali guys just had an event a few months ago, so looks like there will not be anybody joining from there. Does everyone want to go forward from here knowing the cost involved?

and1kidd and Interpol need to confirm please

I'm still in also, and I will pay for the lunch that day. (Breakfast and dinner are on your own.) Since I am 143 miles away, I will depart early crack of *** Sat morning, and be at the shop by 8AM. First car on the rollers at 9AM.

If Jeff flies up Friday night, you local owners will need to entertain him that night.

Plan Saturday Dec 4th

I'm pretty low-maintenance.

^Good point. Although I'd prefer we get enough 8s to register.

I may need two slots as well

Why two slots? Did you buy a turbo?
