I'm all for this.
San Jose is perfect, but I'll go anywhere. I might even drive out - depends on prices/timing/etc.

You guys should designate/elect one person to organize the event Secure a location, convince them to give you a "bulk" rate on the dyno - $600 - $800 for an 8 hour session is typical - and then get people to commit to it by paying at least a $50 deposit for their slot.

If you get 10 people to commit, you are only talking $60 to $80 each for the dyno time (and that would get them 1/2 hour or more each, which is plenty for a bunch of pulls).
Then, assuming all 10 are MazdaManiac AccessPORT customers, it would only be another $60 each for the tuning (which is 80% off my normal rate).
That is $120 to $150 for custom tuning.

To put that into perspective, we had a dyno day down here for the RX-7 guys with a well-known tuner and a similar schedule. Each shelled out about $450 to get tuned.

Make it happen!

Yeah I get that, I was just curious performance wise would there be a difference between having it "tuned" by MM vs. using a base map that's supposedly pretuned for stock?

more I think about it, as long as the price is not drastically different from the socal one, I'll definitely be there. I've been looking for a chance to put the 8 on a dyno.

Someone needs to organize this.

Making a list is pointless until someone secures a facility and a date.

Highway8

iTrader: (11)

If no one working on a location and date I will start getting it togeather. People who are interested, please PM me with a general idea of good dates or bad dates for you and a general location you are willing to drive to.

Unless I hear otherwise I am aiming for the middle of july through augest, I dont think we want this to get pushed into september.

If someone knows a good shop please provide the name, location and contact information.

Jeff what is good for you schedule wise?

Hey Jeff do you do any nitrous tuning? Or can Charles do it?

iTrader: (2)

I say, find a shop, set a date and get everyone to work around that date. It's too hard to accommodate 10-15 people. Concord sounds good, I might I a friend with a shop in Alameda, I'll get some info if that's "central" enough for everyone.

Hey All,

I'm out.

Lazybow, I'll sell you mine if you're interested. I don't want to deal with the hassle with it. I should have just bought sway bars.
