Well if you want to use the bay and jack stands you're going to :P. Thats not a easy 5 min deal. Oil changes and silly things like that aren't going to be charged for if you do it yourself but if you are in the bay for more than 1 hour then you get charged. Pretty simple concept

Ya I think they will notice if a LNF is gone with a computer and harness lol. I know of a place in Nashua that charges by the hour to use a lift and everything. They charge to use the tools and any assistance that you need is extra too. With this you get a all inclusive package deal. AND on top of it you get food. You can't beat it hands down especially if you don't have a clean level place to work on your car.

No it does not. Thats one thing that I assumed the first time around. But having the knowledge of the guys there plus tuning options it worked well for what i needed to do.

Lift is in the works as we speak. I have a meeting with a company in may to take a tour of the manufacturing plant and getting some proper estimates and actual hands on with what they are selling. As of right now there is not a lift. There is a possibility of having two lifts, one of them being a 4 post lift for the dyno and the other would be a 2 post lift. Either way at this time any work that needs to be done can be done with floor jacks, ramps and jack stands pretty easily. This is just the beginning and hopefully will take off in the end. So far with the few people that have posted show a good support for not just a Dyno but also a shop that isn't in it to destroy bank accounts or their rep both on forum and through the locals.

I would like to say thank you for everyone who has PMd me about this and also those who have posted. As I have stated before, please post up the day and the mods you were looking to work on.

So Far:

Steve (CmplXty): Injector seals and tune -May 19th

I believe its a 1968. We restore that and that's where the lift will go. The dyno next to it.

See breds2k's sig lol.

Well as long as its outside and you won't need anything from us or need to use the bay, that's fine by me.

Ya I heard about the cracked spark plug. Heck of a lot better than doing seals!

I have found the 4 post lift possibly to make doing undercar work ten thousand times easier and the price is very affordable plus it is local (within 100miles). I have a meeting may 10th with the dyno company to have a walk through and a demo of what they offer. I will post up what John and I decide on the what we will be working towards in the end. 4 post lift should be purchased by the end of August/September.

2 Post lift at this time will most like not happen until next year if there is enough interest.

So Far:

Steve (CmplXty): Exhaust and Tune -May 19th
LS6Rally: LSJ Throttle body and Tune- May 19th

Ya more the merrier! There's plenty of room outside of the shop so having people hang around is perfectly fine.

serious props on initiative Jeremy and John!!!!!

Dyno plus lift would be amazing, not to mention, publicize it on various tuning forums and you could make some money.

Well John and I saw that there was a need for something like this and there really isn't anything around like this LOCALLY and most would have to drive 1 hour+ and in most cases to get a dyno read out and personally, if my car decides to take a dive on a dyno I would rather have a 30min tow than a 1 1/2 hours. The more people we get to come to the Mod days (they don't all have to be cobalts) the quicker things can progress along. The more people you can refer to us for simple work the quicker you get to see those beautiful dyno numbers.
