Right on. They just made a really good investment. This is perfect for the upcoming Gadiel tuning so we don't have to rely on illegal road tuning.

I leave on the 27th of July and an AWD dyno is coming in August. Ironic. Oh well, at least I'll have Road Atlanta and the Skip Barber track in Birmingham to play on. Plus the AWD dyno in Atlanta (which is where my car is being delivered). Time to install my new rotors and pads.

WOOT! I will definately be spending some time on it, although I don't think there are good tuners at Rads for our cars.

I'm glad they're bringing that Dyno in. Hopefully they'll know how to run that thing properly.

Maybe Gadiel can "tutor" them.

I heard there are about 2 awd dynos in Hawaii, both are privately owned by car companies, so they're not open to the public. They are used more for tuning factory cars to factory specs than for aftermarket power adders.

I find that difficult to believe. As expensive as AWD dynos are, they would need a return on their investment to make them break even. I've never heard of factory cars being "tuned" to match factory specs. I could be wrong. I was almost wrong once.

I hope they'll also have enough fans. Nothing worse that having your car detonate because of not enough cooling.
