I'm not sure what one has to do with the other, but it is not likely that I'll be there for another Dyno Day in January.

Honestly, if you have an AP, there is not a good reason on Earth to miss this opportunity. You can PM me for pricing. Coils should not stop you.

He is still in. I was discussing with him on how MM can tune his car now, with the spare AP, and then he buy an AP later, download the tune, and install it on his car. He did not know how all that worked together.

My daughter seems to be recovering well, which means my chances of making this are improving as well. It is still not guaranteed yet, I will let yall know when I do.

Since I will only be using the dyno. Q: Will there be the opportunity to do a minor experiment? Dyno 100% stock early in the day, perform a full tuneup (BHR ignition(if it arrives), air filter, oil change, etc...) then dyno later in the day?

I know this work SHOULD NOT affect much, I'm just curious to see what might happen.

That would be great to see and hopefully there is enough time. The changes you want to make will not take long either.

We don't have that many cars, so this looks like a possiblity. Maybe dyno first to get the Surgeline guys setup for the RX8 platform? But, I am sure they already know, having dyno tuned GeorgeH's car there.

I will need to study the list again, because we need to get the tuning all complete also.

No. I plan on doing that is the second round of upgrades. Do you think it should have been done now?

pdxhak: as long as your fuel pump isn't acting up now, you should be fine with it.
How is the turbo install looking?
where do you want to mount the gauges?

Does not seem to be issues with the fuel pump which is why it is on my list of upgrades that will happen in the next round of upgrades. I have 3 60mm prosport premium gauges and was planning to mount them on top of the dash. I thought about the RB pod but did not see it on their site so not sure if they still sell it. It is going to suck if I do not have gauges installed for the dyno day.
