Hey "Case" check your pm's...
BTW, "MotownMotors" was recommended to me as well. The do work late but they have weird hours. I know of the talon you speak of "Dig" and it's owner. He recommended them to me as well but like I said their hours aren't very convenient sometimes. I tried to go up there on my off day but the guy that I was supposed to talk to wouldn't be there till 3pm. This was on a weekday no less! Personally if it was me spending the $$$ on the dyno I would want some kind of expectation that it would be done in a particular timeframe even if it meant paying a lil' more. $100 for unlimited pulls in an hour sounds good but it's quality not quanity that counts here. SR is making a big investment here and they will expect to show a quantative return on it. One of the qualifications was to be able to dyno the parts within a week's time. I'm just not confident enough that they would be able to come through on time. I have done sufficient research and found a more reputable company that cost a tad more but at least I was given a "time" at which I can expect to be tested. Saving a few $$$ initially is really inmaterial if you don't get the results you want. "You really do get what you pay for..."

Hey Lethal ...
They have messed up hours cuz of the hours these guys work till. We were making runs at 2am on that Talon when the head gasket let go. He had 287HP on a 90K mile engine using a Frankenstein turbo. We were still trying to get the fuel down when it let go. Still had the timing on his stand-alone and the cam gears to set up. I think he finished up with 296HP or something on a full tune, but he still had a 50 shot of N2O to use.
I can give him a call and see if we can set up something solid when the time comes. Let me know.
