Would anyone like to know their Air/Fuel Ratios?

Howdy,
I just purchased one of these bad boys:
http://www.thedynoshop.net/prod01.htm
I live in Harker Heights, Texas, which is between Waco and Austin. I also am in the Dallas/Fort Worth area most weekends.
I'll be in Morristown, NJ from 19 to 29 December while home on leave and will have the unit with me. Anyone willing to drive to the Morristown area will have access to the unit--in some cases I might be able to meet people halfway or something similar if it's reasonable.
I've used one before and was very happy with it. Is anyone interested in using this to verify that they are running sufficiently rich at wide open throttle/on boost?
I spoke with Chris Ott at RP and was told that placing the sensor in the tailpipe is a proper way to measure the a/f ratios (vs in the downpipe), as long as you account for a ~500 rpm "lag." The downpipe is the preferable method, but a pain in the *** on stock twin FDs. I can use the sensor in the downpipe for single turbo guys if it's easy to intall, such as on Ihor's car.
I've decided to price it like this, to keep it reasonable:
$15 for the first 15 minutes, and $15 per 15 minutes after that. I will ride shotgun and record a/f's at certain rpm ranges, etc. I'll also drive if the owner wants to tune on the road and is crazy enough to let me drive their car .
This will let those running stock ecu's and without tuning capabilities verify that they are running rich enough with their current mod level without dropping a ton of cash. It will also allow dyno-tuned guys that have added a mod or two verify that their AFRs are still safe. I think peace of mind is worth 15 bucks to most FD owners, and the price will go towards a new o2 sensor when my current one goes bad.
All interested, please reply
