At only $1500, that's really not a bad deal. About the same cost as 10 hours of "real" chassis dyno time.
The "fleet"-
72 Vega HB Drag Car -383/'Glide/9"(9.35@146.19)(5.94@117.28 1/8th)
77 Vega Estate wagon- project(someday)will have TPI305/T-5, S-10 spindles/axles
76 Vega GT- 400/4spd/9" retired from active duty(rusty)
06 Silverado 2WD ex.cab daily
03 Silverado 2WD ex.cab (retired)
06 Haulin' 20ft enclosed car transporter
06 GMC Canyon Shop truck
07 Colorado project( 5.3 4L60e swap)
99 Saturn SL1- wife's car
01 Saturn SC2- son's project
07 Saturn Ion Redline project
and 4 more Saturn "parts cars"
Note- the very act of listing all of these has made me realize I have some kind of problem.....

That is for you "BIG MONEY $$$$" racers Spencer, for us "POOR" street car guys that is half my EFI unit. :pook: Just foolin' Spence you are definitely right that would get a lot more tuning time with a Lambda Gauge and that dash board dyno with seat time while doing it and knowledge of your ride that money can't buy.

Let me clarify my comment; IF I were thinking about renting a bunch of chassis dyno time to tune my car, I would have to consider the AEM on-car one as an alternative. I don't have that kind of money to throw around. I DO have a friend who happens to own a shop with a fancy Mustang Dyno; someday I just might go for an hour or two to optimize my carb and ignition timing. But I've been saying that for two years.....

I definitely understand Spencer money is highly evaporative and I am an impulse shopper not a good mix, but I do buy my lotto tix when I remember (50 Million on Wed) It sure would be nice to have that toy (and the lotto :th: ) I did understand your response Spencer, but you have Race Car :pook: and I have two rooms of parts and a driveway potato (auto version of a couch potato or my twin with wheels) Harry
