Sorry guys, the guy is not getting back to me at all now with a firm time despite a flurry of phone calls & e-mails... I am guessing it got bumped for something more interesting; sigh, the Fit gets no respect.

You need to physically go to the shop and talk to the guy face to face. Not in a threatening way, but to let him know you're serious. Tell him details about your car and the goals you hope to accomplish with your dyno session. In any case, you're still a paying customer and they're losing business by leaving you hanging.
It's a lot harder to ditch/cancel on someone once you've spoken IRL.

Sorry guys, I have been away for a while. I didn't notice this thread getting bumped.
Basically the story is I was trying to get a dyno done for months, one of the problems here in Calgary is there is so much oil cash that the Dyno shops can pick and choose their clients and unfortunately the Fit was always at the bottom of the priority list for them. I setup additional appointments which got pushed aside every time, contacted no less than 5 different shops about trying to book time and got nowhere.
In the end I broke down and gave up, the race season was only a week away and my car still wasn't tuned. Instead I bought a tuning kit from Innovate and street tuned it myself.
Now that I have some time again I will start looking into trying to get a dyno again.
Hard to explain, if this was Vancouver I would have zero problems with this. But out here the guys that do this don't even seem to care that you are willing to pay the same amount and worse yet they don't care if they f-ck up your tune either. Doesn't matter where you go in Calgary service is crappy, even in restaurants. The people that serve you can quit and go across the street to work for more money on a moments notice.
To give you an idea of how messed up it is, I paid about 400$ for an innovate LM2 because these guys wouldn't schedule me in to dyno tune it for 150$. It would have been cheaper to dyno tune even if it took them 2 hours.

Hard to compare these two headers fairly, basically the T1R "response header" is a shorty header while the Weapon-R race header deletes the cat all together and provides a crazy low-resistance flow.
The biggest difference is in the low end power, I found the T1R delivered more omph around 4000rpm while the Weapon-R gives it up early and carries through. I can say that choosing between the two is easy, I am a big fan of the power band of the WeaponR header and it does feel like it has a much larger gain.
1.5L, 12 valve gasoline.
lol, I think it was for a little while until I street tuned it. After that it delivered on the course all year long.
