The pre'tune Dyno...
That's up to the shop and their workload if they will be doing a dyno before the upgrades.

It's a small but friendly shop and they do have a lot of cars currently in progress.
The dyno takes up a full bay...they have to move cars around to set up to do the dyno...soooo if I don't hit dyno day before they start to dig in to it - it probably won't get done.

Now about those HP expectations...They have the final say as to how far they will to go with it.

The Standing Order of the Day is to keep the car safe and reliable...in spite of what I say I think I want !

The guys in the shop are really good about that...And they've talked me down from the clouds a few times.

(No You can't put a (crashed) GTR motor in it and make it AWD for a hundred dollars)

That keeps me as a satisfied customer.

So far we are shooting for about 475rwhp.
We'll see how close it actually comes to that ... and at what rpm it makes power.

But the bigger picture here is not all about the numbers, but how fast it goes down the track...and there are a lot of other factors involved to make it all come together.

Will keep you posted ...
