I''ll be a maybe, would be nice to have a couple of pulls to see what I'm making as a baseline.

Wow, wish I lived in So Cal again. That is a very good deal, and includes multiple runs and tuning... can't beat that. I encourage anyone who has never been on a dyno to do it. Yes, you might find out that your car is not producing the power you wanted, but you might find out why and make changes to fix it, and they will even help! Here in Washington it is about $50 a pull. Several years ago I did a few pulls and found a dangerously lean condition that was hiding... not good on a high compression motor (it helps to have an aquantence that has a dyno). Looks like there may be some high HP cars there based on the pics, but a variety too. Liked the pic of the Corvair with the hood up... the front hood. Funny... maybe someone stuffed in a V8, if that's possible. Those of you with SU carbs might gain some insight as to whether a different set of needles would help too.
BTW, my friend and head guru Steve got a call from a group that had him do some radical work to a Supra motor a year or so ago (the final version of the car. They used all new castings, Steve did the head work). They did a dyno pull of yes, over 1300 hp! I know I know, 1300 really? Yep, in fact they said they could likely reach their goal of 1500 but the three fuel pumps they were running couldn't keep up with demand. Bigger ones are on order. I have not looked up the Youtube video of it yet but it is rumored to be on there. Someone find it and post... I suck at those things...

I agree it will be fun, but just to be clear it doesn't include tuning.

Ah, you are right... I read the flier again... No tuning, just an indication if you might benefit from some. Still a real good deal for that many pulls.
