YES... well as many pulls as you can fit in within an hours time...

watch out though, cause they can charge you more if you sound like a sucker

Maybe thats why you guys paid $80/hr?

When I dyno'd my heap at Protech, it cost something like $40/hr

My buddy is good friends with him and he even says he is extremly expensive. I personally would not go there to be honest, when that big fast and the furious fling was going on he must have been swapping 3-4 motors a day not including the other work he had . It's not like he was doing the work himself either , he had a bunch of young guys doing all the labour for him wich you could go to the shop next door and pay couple hundred $ less and have someone with equal if not more experience do it. In my opinion the more bussy they are the more its rushed and hack jobs occur .
