Let me know if you plan on doing it. I am in the Poughkeepsie area. The dyno we have at the shop is rated for 500hp since we do do more Chump car racing (<200hp cars)

I'd be interested in a group buy but I would like to see independent results from maybe a member here before spending the $'s.

Do it! Then let us know if it actually works. The more results we get the better ...

BMW TT tunes are 700-1200 but has more hp potential.

This is why most people here want independent dyno tests.

It appears low risk, I may do it The only skeptical item I have is the dyno and how it's not scaled appropriately. If I gain 10rwhp/rwtq, so be it, I just hope it gets rid of the "heavy flywheel-feeling" this car seems to have when at WOT.

I checked out some reviews on Yelp and there is a lot of negative ones. Mostly customer service.
