I would assume the answer is yes. If so, will you bring extra AP's with you?
No. I'll already be transporting any AP's purchased in advance and I don't "stock" the units, so I won't be purchasing any speculatively.

Any units desired for the Dyno Day must be purchased in advance.

I will have an "extra" unit with me that is not for purchase, so I can tune a car for someone that wants one at the event, but didn't purchase it in advance. They can then purchase the AP afterward at full price and just load the tune generated on the dyno day (they will, of course, be leaving the dyno day with the car back in OE tune).

Good price. My ticket on USAir was a bit more than that.

^^^or in case someone's AP decides to be stupid and not update. Not that things like that would ever happen...

OK, thanks man. X Rx8 is in this boat it seems, unless he can pull off a purchase today. He had an incident come up that used his AP funds, and asked about buying the day of the dyno for the same price. Hopefully he will read the thread and post up. He said he has been really busy lately to keep up. I will let him know by PM, that way he knows by e-mail in case the thread does not e-mail him automatically.

I think Dan can drive it down. He needs to leave his vehicle in a safe spot if he can help. He is coming to my house Thursday night, so maybe he can hook up with you then? Let's see what we can arrange.

Not lately - said he was really busy lately. Not even sure if he pre-purchased the AP?? He might need to use MM's spare.

I have one pre-purchase (other than Dondo's MS3 AP). It was for pdxhak. X Rx8 has not contacted me yet.
