$75-$80/hour

 

Steve has only 7 deposits and I thought we had many more committed. If you want in please get your deposits to Steve. He is expecting to tune more than 10 cars. He rescheduled his flights and will be leaving Monday morning instead of Sunday afternoon because I told hime we would have up to 14 cars to tune.

Thanx,

Ken

 

I just sent my deposit in today.

I'll ask two more people if they're interested.

 

GooRoo is in Woo Woo

You video taping this one like the dyno one you did a couple months ago?

 

Yeah, probably. I'm not sure I'm going to do dyno runs though. I thought we were going to hit a dyno dynamics dyno. A dynojet isn't really very useful for tuning anything but WOT, and I want my whole map tuned.

 

Steve has tuned for he past 4 years here in Phoenix on a DynoJet with no problems. He does WOT and driveability all on the dyno with no problems.

 

ditto to what GooRoo said above, ill probably be around, but wont hit that dyno.

 

I'm sure he can, but I'd like a load based dyno so we get everything you can normally do on the street. I'd also like comparison numbers... so I'll probably call the guy I dyno'd with before and see if he's open. It's only 10 min away anyway.

 

Alright, I'm sending in my deposit now as well, seems to be too good a deal to pass up. The car's been pretty much together and running for 350 miles now, tuned for basic transportation only of course .

I'm not sure yet about dyno time though, I need more driveability tuning before going after high hp numbers.

 

I'm quite relieved to hear you are coming Andy/Damien, be good to see you guys.

 

Just as a heads up, Steve likes to have a minimum of 1000 miles break in before tuning. Just to let you know so you can put some additional miles on your motor before he arrives

 

Well, I'm at 750 and I have absolutely no time to drive it until then so that'll have to be good enough...

 

I'm sure you could find someone willing to put 250 miles on that beast in the next two weeks for you.

Ken

 

I'll start driving mine again as soon as it stops raining. I had to send my wideband display back for repair and replace my boost gauge already

 

I doubt anybody would put their house up as collateral in the event of damage so that doesn't seem likely. That and it's a bit difficult to drive in the rain with no wipers.


Ken, where are we at in developing a schedule so people know when to arrive? I think unless there is a formal timeline it is going to be a mess and I do not want to sit around for hours until it's my turn. I'm sure everybody has things to do vs. sitting around all day long.

My preference is to have Howard go first with all three cars that he is taking responsibility for, which should take until 11 or noon. Then the 2nd & 3rd 20B's go in a row (Aaron & myself) so that Steve can be on a roll once he gets going on that particular engine type. Plus Aaron is also coming from a very long distance himself. Then the rest can go however they want to divide it up amongst themselves.

Anybody else have an opinion on this that is paid up? Other suggestions?

 

Kerry, I know you don't want to spend extra time as it looks like you really have a busy schedule(life). How about we put you down for first one on Sunday. Then when done you can take off.

We have 11 confirmed so far so that gets into Sunday BIG time.

Ken

 

I don't mind waiting until Sunday myself, I'm going to miss a wedding if I have to drive up to Mnpls on Saturday, not a huge deal either way really.

 

wow, i hadn't checked the thread for a while and it is busy.

i will be arriving friday and staying at Frank's, approx 35 minutes from the dyno. since i will be by myself i will have to ferry 2 of Frank's cars over and back. i would be delighted to go first at whatever (early is fine) time we start. after the first car i plan to drive back to Frank's and pick up his second car. over to the dyno and back. then bring my car. so our 3 cars should probably alternate with other cars. after Frank's cars are finished i plan to hang around and can dyno anytime saturday.

looking forward to seeing all of you,

howard

 

Hey,
If we are going to set a time-line, I would ideally like to avoid Sunday, as we're driving to La Crosse Sunday for a house closing Monday AM. Since Steve will be tuning Frank's 20B brought by Howard, then I wouldn't mind following that tune as Howard goes back to get the next car. That way, Steve is warmed up for the 20B tune and no gap in tuning occurs time wise as Howard is getting his other cars. I'm flexible either way though, and can go any time on Saturday. I don't want to screw anyone's schedule, but if the order I mentioned works, then great, and if not, not the end of the world. Can't wait!!!!

Aaron

 

Okay how's this:
Saturday
1) Howard with Frank's 2 rotor
2) My Car if Kan can ever get it done
3) Howard with Frank's 3 rotor
4) Butler's 3 rotor
5) Howard's own car
6) N. Carlson
7) M. Tarnowski

Sunday)
1) Kerry's 3 rotor(TURBO 3)
2) MILLS
3) ?
4) ?
5) ?

Thanx,

Ken

 

sounds good to me. thanks for your co-ord help Ken.

Hey,
That works fine for me. Again, though, if I'm hosing anyone's schedule that day with this order of tuning, I can move around on Saturday. But if this sits well with everyone, then it sounds great to me. Thanks Ken.

Aaron

 

anytime later on sat or even sunday would be good for me i do have to drive 3 hours to mnpls so a time frame would be greatly appreciated thanks guys!! oh by th eway a 1000 mile break in you said? i am istalling a t4 turbo kit does that mean i should put some more miles on or no the motor has been driving for over a thousand already but with twin turbos?? and help?? alright thanks!!!

 

Sounds good to me Ken, what time are we starting Sunday morning?

LUV94RX7;
HOWARD COLEMAN(3 Cars);
BUTLER;
ROTARY4TW;
