Hello everyone:

THIS IS JUST AN INTEREST POST! NOTHING IS SET IN STONE. NO DATES HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AS OF YET...this is merely something to see how many people are interested in participating

We are looking to see how many people would be interested in a DYNO/ TUNE / MOD DAY
at our company location in Deer Park , NY

This has been in discussion several times between myself, kenny and several locals who thought it might be a good idea to open the shop one weekend to tune cars and then do dyno runs for the day followed by a meet at Deer Park Ave (Long islands street racing and car meet up Hot spot)

We are looking into pricing for Dyno runs at Mustang Magic (dynojet facility) located right around the corner from our shop and also to have a mod meet where everyone can help one another out along with a BBQ or a dinner meet before we head out to DPA (at approx. 10 pm)


More details: Dinner
Ruby Tuesdays. There is a Rubys right around the block near Kohls that i know can accomodate a large group . We hold our meets there for the probes. If we go at a decent time I can call ahead and have then clear a large section for us.

Dates: As Paul had mentioned we will be doing this no earlier then second week of september. Ideally i would like to maybe rent the place out either Sept 30 or October 14) i wont be around oct 7...defensive driving class...lol

Place: Audio XTC / Cobalt-Addiction/ Probe Addiction
and Mustang Magic http://www.mustangmagicinc.com/home.htm

We are located at 261 Unit A , Suburban Ave. Deer Park, NY
We are about an hour into NY from NJ. From CT, you can take the Orient Point Ferry and Drive down the LIE To exit 53 or go around , whatever works.

I'd be interested depending on date and price


Also, you guys wouldn't happen to have a "predator" for LS2's by any chance....she needs a tune bad.....:lol:

06blackg85ss
08-22-2006, 02:12 PM

06blackg85ss
08-22-2006, 02:26 PM
ok just got the prices and availabilty from mustang magic... any day is good just need at least a 2 week notice... rates are not bad at all depending on how many cars we bring... its for a 10 hr rental from 10am-8pm (that rocks) also for anyone interested in runs its $175 for 2 pulls with afr, $25 each additional pull (this is not the group discount price I'll leave that to Donna)... 10 or more cars $75 for 2 pulls with afr.... post up some dates in late sept or earl oct you guys would want to do this,

WHAT? $175.00 for 2 dyno runs + $25.00 for AFR???? I payed $75.00 for 3 over here with AFR by myself. Why so expensive? That doesn't even include the price of the tune. I don't get it.

badg1rl
08-22-2006, 02:34 PM
ok so now i just gotta figure out a date...and how we will work the tunes.
i will also speak to kenny about getting some items in stock and those of you wishing to pick up some stuff may be able to do so at that time.

also, plan on bringing a clean vehicle. i would like to get some event pictures when this pops off. so make sure she is nice and shiny before you get here. worse comes to worse...there is a drive through brushless car wash off of DPA.

Ill update the list and add debbie and you paul.

06blackg85ss
08-22-2006, 02:35 PM
afr was included... it was 25 per run after 2

no no no...that if you go alone.

With a group we get a group buy in. thats why the more the better.

If we can get 10 or more people it will be under 100 bucks a piece. Its a group rate we are working out.

if they charge the group say one lump sum..we divide that by who is coming. that will effect the price. this is why the more the better. i would like to get this down to 75 bucks a person for at least 2 pulls.

06blackg85ss
08-22-2006, 02:38 PM
I might just head over there next week to get some pulls with people to get that discount... I"m down for anyday... savin some vacation days for that... got a week left to use.

Hey Donna. The thing is even if it was $75.00 for 2 pulls, it's going to take about 4 pulls to do the tune. 1 base run to see what's going on and 2-3 more to tune properly. Also what about the price of the tune itself? Any idea? Ballpark??

hold on there guy... its gonna take some time to get this together, they gotta work on that shit load of DP's you guys ordered ..lol... I re-worded it for you guys THAT IS NOT THE GROUP PRICE... that is for anyone that wants to go down on some dyno runs before hand...

badg1rl
08-22-2006, 02:59 PM
pricing for the tunes will be kennys job... already spoke to him. we are going to work on some stuff tonight. he said pick a date though.
Im going to try my hardest to accomodate as many people as possible to treat this as a meet. Swap parts, buy parts, install, tune, dyno...etc. i know paul has been an absolute great help to the locals.

Before this all goes on, everyone will get a set of rules and itinerary of events for the day. This is the only way i will run things because i dont like a lot of chaos and want things to run as smooth as possible.

06blackg85ss
08-22-2006, 03:03 PM

Donna, I don't know if you answered me but if you can, ask Kenny if he has a "predator" or HP Tuners program that supports LS2's.......I would be interested in getting the goat one

06blackg85ss
08-23-2006, 04:44 PM
I'm pretty sure it supports the ls2, just needs to get the license... they have the newest version of the software... I actually have a few GTO owners with a program they want flashed... I'm gonna talk to Kenny tonight about that... maybe have a seperate day for that... or mold in to one big GM horse power fest.

yea there are a few shops in Jersey whom are experienced with the LS2's but are very pricey...if he has a decent amount of experience with them, then I'd give him the business

Would we be able tp purchase CA parts at this event? It would be a good incentive for more CSS members to go if they could make some purchases that don't involve shipping.

Also, do we have to dyno/tune to participate? I have a 2.2 which isn't tunable yet and with only my exhaust mod I don't have much of a reason to dyno. I'd like to stop by though if even just to hang out and meet some fellow owners.

^^ yeah let me know what you would want and ill put in the order to get it here.

I will be coming up for the event. If I were to buy the ZZP Interchangeable Pulley System w/ the 2.6" pulley and 60lb. Siemens Injectors from you guys, would you be able to install and then custom tune the same day for my car? Also with that setup, would I also need the ZZP tensioner and a new injector harness?

CobaltBurst
08-29-2006, 10:19 PM
yes you would either need a new tensioner or a larger tensioner pulley. Yes you will need a new injector harness. GL on getting them to install it the day of the dyno, they will probably be too busy...

Realisticly it doesn't look that way. But I will let them give the yey or ney!

i also talked to mustang magic today. luckily they are willing to take a small down payment to lock a date and not the entire amount at once...so i may be nice and lay out the downpayment so we can hold a date. he also said he has some tunes he is doing on saturdays on the mustangs who use his shop and that might interfere but we will work around those dates. like paul said we will be discussing tomorrow whats going on since its now a helluva lot less hectic and i can also make it out there early - 5 ish. plus i have no real desire to hang out at the house with sheet rock falling down all around me. LOL.
