Ugh. For your own sake, make sure the vehicle is up and functioning normally before you get to the dyno.
Trying to track down problems with the install while I'm tuning is not conducive to a good time.

Fortunately, with this few cars, there will be plenty of time to noodle with things, but I'd rather use that time to find more power.

Same here. The car goes into the shop next week for the install. So that gives 2 weeks before the dyno day to hopefully find any issues before tuning begins.

Both Surgeline and MazdaManiac have their deposits. Now is the time to pre-purchase your AP per the PM instructions, as that link is only good till the 19th. Then, get your cars ready for dyno tuning!

Your burning daylight guys...

My travel is booked.
I get in Friday morning and go back out Sunday night.

I'm looking forward to working out of Surgeline - They are a Cobb Tuning shop.
Mostly Subaru, though...

I'm not local to Portland, 140 some odd miles Northwest to be exact. The local guys will need to entertain you Friday night. Dannobre is driving down to my house Friday after work, unless at the last minute he cannot make it. And then we are leaving early Sat morning and will arrive at Surgeline around 8:30AM.

Not sure we are staying Saturday night yet either. Don't really have plans Sunday, so I guess we could hang Saturday night and squeeze limes in our glasses.

I don't particularly need to be entertained, so whatever is good with you guys is fine with me.
I'm sure there are plenty of things to see in Portland.

I can't believe more people haven't signed up for this.
c'mon guys, this is one hell of an opportunity to get your car tuned and have a blast hanging out with some fellow rotor heads.

Must be the weak economy? December date? Mad girl friend? lolz

I need to see if Master Zoom44 will join us for at least the coffee. I'm bringing my big brewer, so there will be plenty of hot java to warm our bones in case it is cold outside.

Hey Big "C" you peeping in?

Yea, that would work. I have a 5 gallon perker, but I like your idea better. Less for me to bring.
