Who's interested in a group dyno tune?

[ILLINI-SVT]

Someone on another site is trying to set up a group dyno tune, Sal from PowerSurgePerformance.net is supposed to travel out for the tune. He tunes both Diablo and SCT, although I'm not sure what the shop it's going to be at has, or whether Sal is bringing his own equipment. The location would in Central Illinois near Springfield,

Anyway, it looks like they need another 5-10 people, I was just seeing if anyone is interested from here. If so, post about it and I'll try to set it up with the organizers.

I would be interested in a sct tune. How much would this run me and when do you plan for this. Thanks.

It takes a while to dyno tune a car properly. It's not like a dyno day where you get in and out in 20 minutes. I'd worry about them rushing with my tune to handle all the cars and not getting the tune perfect.

Ditto! When you are paying for a custom tune you want it done right.

My .02 cents.

Right now it's estimated to run about $75 for dyno time, plus $100 for Sal's first hour of tuning, $50 each additional hour.

Fairly standard mods will take about an hour to tune, if you're running bigger MAFs or injectors, plan on more like an hour and a half at least.

There's nothing to be 'rushed' about the dyno tune session. Your vehcile stays on the dyno until Sal is satisfied. The dyno time is a flat fee for the day to be split by everyone attending, Sal's charges are hourly. Sal will be doing this in St Louis this coming weekend, and the schedule was limited - 5 (simple tune) trucks on Friday, 9 on Saturday (the more heavily modded ones) and 10 on Sunday. I don't know if any of you are familiar with PSP, I know they sell Cobra mods also, but it's historically a Lightning place, and I will be trusting Sal as a respected member of the community to tune me properly.

Right now the time frame is sometime in April, hopefully late April or even early May.

Is that Sal Monella? I met him in Bowling green.

Yes, I believe so. Good impression / bad impression?

He seemed to be a big Lightning guy. He had a booth set up there. The main thing I remember is his name. Sal Monella.

Why don't we try one of our supporting vendors here for group dynotune..i.e. Sutton Ford....they tune with SCT... :biggthump Sal is good too but I'm not sure we could get the numbers for him to come out....

 

[wahoo]

I would stick with one of the local vendors if your looking for a GP on a tune. Sal has tuned My 2 friends 03 Cobra's. They say the tunes are good but customer service is lacking and it takes a bit of time to recieve your new tune..

Let me make sure everyone is clear on what I was asking:

If you are interested . . . in having Sal from PSP . . . tune your g-ride . . . on a dyno . . . here in Illinois, then please let me know.

Maybe if there's enough interest here, and none on the other Lightning boards, I will inquire about setting up a truly local dyno tune say with a SV, but as of right now this isn't in my hands per se, just letting everyone know and trying to hook up interested peeps.

 

[Bigturbonotch]

is this just for the l's or can us cobra boys join in too?

Cobra's are certainly welcome! Sal's known to be a L guy, but he has a Cobra at his shop and tunes them fairly regularly as well (as wahoo pointed out). That's why I posted here.

I'm out...sorry for the confusion.. :alcoholic

 

[ILLINI-SVT]

You're cool, I wasn't trying to flame or anything. :biggthump

Ive been following this closely and think that we would have better luck at a place closer to Chicago too. Springfield is a little far-but Ill be there if this group tune happens. I talked to Sal's wife yesterday and she suggested we get a group togather and then go to a local shop/vendor.

I know that alot of us have done upgrades and need tuning -who better than Sal to tune your ride?
