You'll fork out 45-100K in a blink plus the installation and facility upgrade. Oh, I won't be getting a 4 wheel, because I don't trust em.. Other than the Mustang..

OT..

Didn't get a chance to congratulate Kevin officially on becoming a sponsor. I think we all appreciate your support to this forum and are thankful for your contributions.
The thought of having a dyno available to you 24/7 is actually scary!
As far as dynos, there are ones better than others of course, but more importantly, if a dyno is operated conscienciously and in the right way, the results can be as good, as long as a recognized standard is followed and before and after runs are made under the same standard conditions.
Not many can afford a MAHA but I guess one can compare his dyno to a MAHA one time using the same standards and take it from there to understand any differences in readings for the future.
Here is the latest MAHA dyno at Manthey Racing in Germany, it was very "stormy" in there, but still not enough air according to the 30 yr+ experienced operator! They needed more fans.

Thanks Jean.. You are the first one to see the sponsorship... Well worth it.. One of the first things that I want to find out is the "Myth" about the mufflers and cats... I'll try and have TB fly over with a trunk full of intercoolers for 1 week of testing..

Gunther Mandl , one of the best ECU programmers from Germany , has provided his services to many well known European tuners with great results.

I was suprised to learn that very few people in the racing/tuning business know Gunther in Germany. I know there is one person around ( I will find out the name soon) that does the Motronic tuning for most of the rather commercial tuning houses like 9FF, Roock, PSI Motorsport, etc.. none do it in-house, Gunther works with Sportec but does not seem to be well known there despite his years in the business and despite his great services rendered to the likes of TTP and others. Not trying to say he is not good, as the ones who know him say he is very good, just thought of sharing my findings. My sources are more from the German racing arena rather than commercial tuning, and it seems that he has not been present there, and they don't know him.

where do I get gunters GT1 tune from? I have the turbos and a GIAC map right now, but if I can get better I would do that. The car feels great now, but doesn't always pull consistantly it seems. Possibly these engine safe adjustments I am hearing about kicking in? The turbos are modifed stock K16's built to K24 speacks but tweaked by Imagine auto. Car has fabspeed muffle bypass also. thanks
