Default Abacus racing dyno?

Once my car gets out of the bodyshop, I'm putting in my laptop programmable warm up regulator and figure on taking it to Abacus for tuning on the dyno. Anybody know any upcoming dyno days that I can use to save a few bucks, or any other thoughts?

I want someone else too. The car has been modded, and has lumpy cams, and Bosch CIS does not like lumpy cams as long as it remains vacuum based, but I've found a warm up regulator that will make it laptop programmable based on RPM so it doesn't get bothered by lumpy cam impact on vacuum, so I want a shop to tune it on the dyno for max power. I know some about tuning, but I want someone who knows a lot about tuning. Since nobody is likely to have ever worked on an old Benz in this way, I think I need someone with Porsche experience (since they used the same injection system on some of their older cars)

Good luck getting it tuned on a dyno day. Most times they want to get people on and off as quick as possible. Usually there's too many people to take the time to tune one person's car. Call one of the Euro shops and talk to them about getting it tuned.

Ah, I think I'll just take it to Abacus then. They've used the same laptop programmable warm up regulator on modified Porsche Turbos before, so I think they can handle it on my car.
