That is exactly the type of thing I'd be asking.
If I'd bought a house closer to the GTA, I would just be opening up a dyno shop right in the GTA and run it properly. Because so many of them are a joke.
I learned that the hard way. $500 at a dyno shop and I ended up having to go back to the tune I'd used to get there. Farking morons.
I was totally convinced by his "I'm an ex-Ford Powertrain Engineer" too. That don't mean squat. Too bad, that's the line I intend to use too. :ph34r:
Now just so you know... they used to be able to tune that way because the 5.0 had a distributor and you could just turn back the base advance to compensate and it would work. The problem is when the 4.6 came out with electronic ignition, many of them missed the turn...

I learned it the hard way too -- I think you and Simon would recall the TAP guys slapping on mustang 'calibrated' MAFs and recommended setting my commanded fuel to 12 instead of .82 on my SCT software (um.. hello... LAMBDA!!!). However, I was lucky.. they didn't charge me for all the dyno time as they only charged me the time that was productive..
btw... if you had a shop in the GTA, I would come help do dyno tuning in the evenings/weekends :P
