    I'd hate to be working at this place. Especially the person who had to tell the customer.

    Late edit....another link found by another member

    ok... that sucks. :(

    Maybe the owner signed a waiver when he dropped it off? Do dyno shops make people sign waivers? I have never been...

    I worked at a shop that had a dyno and they made the owners run their own car so if it blew up they couldnt blame anybody but themselves.

    Yes they do. Unless you go to tune the car yourself. They just charge you for the dyno fee then you run it yourself.

    WOW! That thing revs WAY faster than mine did on the dyno. I guess that is the difference between 350 and 800!!!

    OOPS!!! Maybe if he was watching the dash he might have noticed the shift light glaring in his face. Either way it sure let go pretty quick. Wonder what that motor is worth???
