        Just dyno the Damn car, your over analysing it. Do the $150 and let Alex tune it, with the amount of mods on the.car I really can't believe how big of a deal your making $75-100 for some pulls .

            If i run 20 PSI on the street daily - Why Would I dyno the car at a lower boost level then what I run on a daily basis??? That is not a good indicator of the power im actually putting down everyday

            That makes no sense at all... Thats like bringing in your Subaru thats tuned for 18 PSI Daily - And putting it on the Dyno and changing the tune to 12 PSI and then Dyno'ing it - Thats redicilous

                Nice my car must have been a fluke from the factory because I dyno tuned it at 25psi and on the street it still boosts at 25psi. Unless of course my mechanical boost gauge is lying to me 0.o

                  And were you on PCM Solenoid Boost Control? The ECU Compensates for different variables and you will boost the same in any condition if its set to that value - If your manual boost control you have to adjust it yourself for different variables

You setup your MBC in January at 10 degrees to boost 20 PSI and if you dont change it, when august is here and its 100 degrees your boosting way under that value - so you have to readjust it again

                        Caliber/SRT4's see quite a difference on the street versus the dyno. You are correct in that sense. The AWD cars (EVO/STI) don't see the same difference because the load is double on the dyno and simulates the street much better. They spin both 3000lb drums versus just one.

                        Look Joe, I'm not a dyno Nazi. I own the damn thing. If you need 2 pulls or 6 pulls, as long as we don't have to fiddle-#!#!#!#! with the car it will only cost you $75. ESPECIALLY once the stoooopid busy season ends. Come in after September/October when temps drop and customers hide and you will get 3+ runs with cool down time. If you want to experiment with more/less boost, ice, CO2 spray, etc etc etc.... you will pay $100/hr. Timer starts once the roller starts. Strap down time is not billed.
