Default Porsche Tuning Education & Dyno Day - Who's in?

Folks,

I had another thread on this topic. I went ahead and called RSP Motorsports in London, ON to see what I could negotiate on an event day for us. The reception to the idea was good and I think we have something to work with after our conversation. RSP seems to have a solid unique facility and a thorough Dyno offering among other tuning items. Please let me know if you would be interested in the proposed day and we can work on timing.

Location - RSP Motorsports http://www.rspmotorsports.com/index.html
Date - Sunday May 6th
Time - Arrive RSP 10am, run till 4pm
Meet Up for Drive to London - 8am departure from car pool/GO Bus lot at 401/Hwy 25 in Milton (South of 401 on east side). Some of us will depart Sat Chapters GTG location at 7:30 for the 401/25 stop.
Cost - $150+HST per car if we can get min of 5 cars (Regular price is $225+HST, does not include lunch, video and extra education)
Dyno Page - http://www.rspmotorsports.com/dyno-awd_300.html

What's Included

Tour of facility and processes
Education session with Q&A on tuning Porsches
Coffee and Donuts on arrival, Catered Lunch

I've never seen any of this before.. so the tour and education would be a plus on top of the dyno. You can count me in, weekends in May and June are best.

The RSP dyno converts to Flywheel horsepower. It is a weird system when they explained it to me. They did a final tune to my turbo 964 for me a few years ago.

Its definately is a state of the art system and I beleive its the only unit in North america like it.

Sounds like fun. Count me in as well if I am in town that week. How long does each car take and how many cars can they do in one afternoon? I wouldn't want to spend all day sitting and waiting for my turn. Unless there's entertainment of course.

Porsche of London is only 10 mins down the road from RSP so you can always check them out if you're sitting around doing nothing.

I can inquire about spectators.

No particular reason at this point, I didn't explore them other than view the website. The RSP offering seemed more compelling just by the website alone. I think they have a unique offering.

Yes, I have updated the first post to include attendees. Will start sorting out the date in a couple more days. Give a chance for more folks.

I didn't capture the length of time from prep to completion for each car ( I can confirm this). However I spoke of the day starting at 10 and ending late afternoon. I figure this will give us time to get down there leaving GTA at a reasonable hour. He thought a max of 10 cars could be done in this time frame. This would allow time for prep on each car, the two dyno runs and specific questions to each result.

Are you signing up with your Ferrari?
