Interest in Flying up MazdaManiac for an AP dyno tuning weekend

I'm really looking foward to getting the most outta my car. The stage 1 map from Cobb is probably weak compared to what Jeff can do. Also Just trying to clarify, would a group drive be Sunday? I'd probably try to stay down in Seattle if that is the case. I'm thinking about getting a hotel in case we end up drinking after tuning. I don't want to drive home then drive back.
We officially have 8 deposits and all slots full!
I will put in the expected cost next to each person.

so i just read this page http://www.kitoautosport.com/dyno.html? and they say "no snow tires" are you guys going to switch them out for the dyno and then put them back on since it is the middle of winter? how do the snow tires affect the dyno?

Let me call Mike and find out. I suspect he means no chains or studded tires that could tear up his dyno. I suspect "regular" snow tires are fine.

This isn't a wrench-fest for me.
Not that I won't help people out if there are problems.
But if your car is broke, don't bring it to the dyno.
As Shaun mentioned - make sure your ignition is up to snuff.
Bad coils are the #1 reason for ugly, low-power dyno plots.

Hotel for Sat night(dannobre (dan), and Nemsis8 (Kevin).
I checked out the Silver Cloud Inn which Shaun said was closest to his house. For one night with tax it was 172.00. That includes 2 Queen beds 42" plasma and other stuff. Kinda pricey unless someone wants to split. I'll bring my xbox 360 with a bunch of games if anyone is interested. This a great option for people that may not live in Seattle but want to stay down there and attend group drive next day. I don't mind sleeping on floor so we could get at least 3 ppl all together to split cost. Let me know what you all think if not interested I'll probably just get a single room for myself.
Forgot to include Grouch.... Sorry Get back to me guys

Jeff,
Would it be better for the MM AP users to get started with submitting their datalogs to you ahead of time to get the scaling calibrations set before the dyno weekend? Would this save us time on Saturday or does it not matter?

I see that the roads by my Moms are wet. But there is still some snow on the ground.. 156th and NE 8th in Bellevue.

As Jeff said above folks who already have an Accessport please download Jeff's baseline for your application and follow his instructions to get your baseline engine calibration set up before he comes up.
