How are modded 240s tuned? I never see a dyno sheet in the for sale section.

I'm talking about cars in the $8000+ range. For that price, you are usually looking at a 240 with substantial hp claims. As a buyer, you're making a bigger investment, so you would want to protect yourself.

Of course you would drive the car, but the dyno pushes the car just a little harder than you would on a test drive.

Well again that's really all in opinion. Someone could be selling the cleanest omg I'm going to jizz all over myself 240 you've ever seen for $8k with barely any motor mods. But I do see where you're coming from. Should someone who's invested money into the motor and set their selling price at $8k, then yes, I would slightly expect to see some number, Dyno? Not necessarily, leaning more towards receipts for the work. Obviously if you're selling a car for $8,000 then you've put a lot of money into it. Either way, I get your point. But I just personally wouldn't ask to see a dyno sheet. + I wouldn't even attempt to push a car as hard as the dyno does anyway. I've seen plenty of people run their car on the dyno for 4+ hours at a time and blow their shit up. Plain stupid.

What octane isn't available in the US? Unless it's 79. I've seen everything from 89-100 octane gas in Jacksonville. (Yes I know just because it's in FL doesn't mean it's nation-wide)
