Are you going to have it retuned and dynoed at your place or at XXTuning? I know Gerald is working on getting a great price for doing dyno runs.
If it will help Gerald get a good price for doing dyno runs, then i can have it dynoed and tuned up at XXTuning. I don't mind at all... And if another certain Z is ready.. i won't mention names yet.. but then you can add yet another member to get their Z dynoed at XXTuning.

Great Tim, I am glad that you are in, as you've been missing our last few meets. I trust that Jill and you like the "C" Print poster, and that you both are satisfied with the reproduction quality. But It looks as though, we might have to do another one, this time with your new Volks. Will get a chance to see it at the meet.

You may also be interested to know that Jeff is also pretty, pretty good with the 300ZX(s).

I'll probably also be able to grab a couple others to start a NJ/NY caravan. How about adding which state the members are from so it's easy to see if we can go up in groups
Mike, Kumusta-ka!

Was hoping I’d catch you at some of the summer circuits, as I was hopping to chat with you again about your pro-charger and the ECU piggy-back from Perfect Power? Sorry to hear about your engine blow out. Looking forward to seeing you again.

I don't see why not, in fact XXTuning also has a wideband oxygen sensor available with the dyno pack; which actually bolts on to the wheel hub; which does eliminate a number of variables, as in tire wear, wheel slippage, correction multipliers, etc. You bet….we are twisting Craig and Danny’s arms to insure a way, way below cost for 3 pulls.

Would love to see what you guys have done to your zees; mine is coming together slowly but surely….hopefully, if all goes well another add-on by the next meet.

Looking forward anxiously to the 15th.

See ya soon; and be well.

Best
Gerald

BTW, if anyone is interested, XXTuning had given me a real good price for the Borla exhaust installed. I passed this comment along to some other people and they are jumping on it.

If anyone coming is interested in the price, please PM me and I will tell you what they quoted me. You may be able to get them to install it for you that same day.

Keep in mind this is not a sales pitch, I'm just passing this along because I know people are interested in the Borla and here is an opportunity to take advantage of a nice deal.

Damn, this meet is getting bigger and bigger.

I'm sorry I can't make it, but I'll be in Miami so it won't be that bad.

Victor, keep in mind that the beach is about 45 minutes away. If you're interested in a place to eat, I have to mention Chick's again. There's a nice big lot and it's literally right next to the beach.

We are doing $60 for 3 pulls. These are 3 pulls that will give HP and Torque numbers and are about 30 minute sessions. We are doing a special for those that need tuning (fuel/ignition changes) at $110 per hour with a 1 hour minumum charge that includes wideband O2 for tuning purposes. We are trying to start a list to see what people are doing such as just Dyno pulls or if they are tuning. Lets start a list. Thanks!!!

I might head down therre also. Maybe we can get some of the MA guys to cruise down.
BTW, I've seen the price on Borlas all over the place. B&D wanted like $900+ installed. Not sure what these guys want. I think I'm gonna hold out for a Nismo or one of the Ti exhausts though.

60 bucks for the dynopack system, is very fair IMPO. I have seen much, much more for just the roller dynojet system.

For the Borlas, you could email XXTuning Craig/Danny directly and be sure to mention that you are part of the Nov 15th group; with copy to Vic.

There will also be other 350Z equipment mods available, but we have to submit the list of the Nov 15 attendees to Paul at Avalon Racing for attendees to be eligible for the Avalon Racing gismos’ one day reduced rates..

Really I am totally shocked........ In any event, I would say an hour to 1-1/2, as it is at the beginning of the 91. How long did it take you burnt to get to Vic’s?

See you all

Default PM on borla to Mike

Mike, I've been waiting for Craig to quote me a price on the Borla. I heard that he gave a price of $750 installed but he hasn't responded to my PM. I hope he sees this and will actually respond with a price. I was planning on going this weekend as I know you were but I'd like to know the total price before I comit to going.

I don't think you want to drive all the way down here and find out that the price is different from what you had expected. Sorry for not getting back to you but I was hoping to hear from Craig so I had something to pass on to you. Craig, if you see this before this Saturday, please get back to Mike and me.

Wow, great responses from everybody.

Mike, I sent you a PM regarding the Borla.

Dave, their prices for the Borla installed is much better than what you posted. If you're interested in it please PM me and I will let you know the price.

I will update my list and add a note for those that want to have their cars dynoed. If you want to have your car dynoed I would recommend you try to come as early as possible. I mentioned 11:00 AM but if we get like 10 people and we get people that want the Borla installed we will have to start earlier. We can get their anytime after 8:00 AM I believe and the dyno's as Craig mentioned will be based on a first come first serve basis.

The price for the dyno runs is awesome. I will dyno mine as well.

About an hour and fifteen from the intersection of Mass Pike and 95/128 near Framingham (10 minutes outside of boston).

Yeah I thought that the B&D price on the Borla was high but I really think I'm going to go Nismo (or Amuse Ti - cha ching).

If there is time I would like to get on the Dyno (would like to get a baseline on my car) but its no biggy if I can't.

[B]Updated List. I have listed in parenthesis the state everyone is coming from so that caravans can be arranged.

1. Vics350 (CT) - Dyno
2. 350Zzzz (CT) - Dyno and Tune
3. jeff (CT)
4. whitetrack (CT)
5. SixRB6 (NY) - Dyno
6. SixRB6's friend (G35) (NY)
7. burnt (300ZX) - maybe (MA)
8. jckolnturn (NY)
9. SirMike1 - maybe (NJ)
10. Daytona Blue Z in Bo (MA)
11. 35Ounces (MA)

Dave (35Ounces) let me know if you want me to put you on the list for dynos. You can call XXTuning and charge $20.00 to guarantee your spot. Sixty bucks for 3 pulls is a great price, you may not want to miss out on this.

Definitely, get a baseline before upgrades. For $60.00 x 3 pulls on the Dynopack is a steal. The roller dynos are already costing $90 to a $100

Looks promising that we could have one more super meet before the weather really takes a turn.

Looking forward to seeing Mike and his procharger beast

Gerald
