What would be an idea of pricing for this so that people can be confident in signing up for a slot? The dyno tunes I have gone to have been x amount for a 3 hr dyno slot + y amount for the tuner to tune for 3 hrs.

Yeah it'd be nice to get more people on board, but I don't think there's an abundance of turbo guys out here. If it's just @sw20kosh and I, we'd pay for flight+hotel+shop dyno time, and your time of course.

You'd leave from Orlando airport? Flights look like $400-500, hotel depends on where you'd want to stay. Nothings cheap out here lol. Not sure how much dyno rental for 1-2 days would be either.

i typically charge $400 for FI tunes and $300 for NA tunes, but if we get enough together we could maybe get the price down a bit. of course anyone who's already bought an e-tune from me wouldn't be paying for a separate tune, maybe just $100 for the time or something like that. i guess it would depend on how many there are in order to see how cheap i can make it and still be worth the trip.

FFTEC, GST, Gp Motorwerke are in the peninsula area and have mustang dynos, no idea if they'd rent them out for the day. I can contact fftec and gst and see what their available/pricing is. I'd definitely like to stick to the bay area.

Mann's MAHA dyno is similar but they charge $175/hr for dyno rental, which seems absurd to me.

I don't think this has happened yet, but we are still more then happy to host James. We have a dynocom that is calibrated and can load like a mustang.
