I've heard mixed things about a company call T & R Greens
They apparently tuned and dynoed eddie tassone's VH so they
must have a clue.

per4manz are currently building my motor and they used to rely on on SST's dyno for their tuning. As a workshop they have proven unreal but i'm not sure in regards to tuning now

18-06-05, 12:37 GMT+10#11 cypher will be very expensive and the work needed doesnt justify using someone of their price and hopefully, quality.
a local dyno place can check the AF ratios on the dyno. the computer aint tunable so theres not a whole lot they can do on the dyno apart from watch the boost level.
and theyll be more than capable of doing a compression, leakdown test if needed and can check fluid levels etc. you should do some of this stuff yourself and save some money
the vlt is a simple performance car to learn on. do the stuff yourself and youll feel better about it and at the same time, learning

20-06-05, 13:04 GMT+10#15 kalais6 that is correct,
before active got thier own dyno all tassones cars were taken there including his Vh and all the customers cars too.... When rodriguez (however thats spelt) comes over to tune he too uses terrys dyno to tune cars (dunno if it still happens now?)
Thats where ive taken my car several times and got good results (this is when my car was running alright before stuff broke)
Id recommend T&R Green anytime
ps from what i remember i think i paid roughly $180ish for tune with printouts on everything.... Give em a call and tell em Arie sent ya, thier number is on my signature

are t & r Greens limited by what aftermarket ecu you choose to use ?
I know some workshops prefer some brands to others and some simply wont/cant do others.

is that how expensive dyno tunes are??? how much does it cost to just get a car dynoed to find out max power and when it runs lean etc?

Just wondering if you guys can give me a heads up of where to buy a intercooler from?
Is it worth going through xspeed and cypher? Or you guys know anyone better? While im here i miser well ask for a rough estimate of a price?
Cheers -- ( my bad for changing thread topic)
