Steve Kan Tuning 2008 ( November 29-30 St.Louis MO ) Bring the MD 20/20 and strippers

I spoke with Tuxedo Park Racing. They're open during the month of November so I've picked a tentative date which is the weekend before Thanksgiving. I figure everyone will be back from school and on break.

Still waiting to hear back from Steve Kan.

Bob Willis wants to get tuned, so you can count on his deposit and ferrari mechanic being there.

w94rx7tt, steve still has your deposit right ?

PDViper77, did Steve give your deposit back ? I think it's time for you to stop being a woman and finally put down some power. (11.99)

Juiceh, I think it's going to take an act of God himself to get his car running, jk. Let me know.


So, if anyone wants to get in on this. Send me a $200 deposit.

Deposits can be sent to my address. I'll hand the deposits over to Steve when he arrives.

(Make checks out to Steve Kan)

Eric Cheatham
11 Lincolnshire BLVD
Belleville IL, 62221

$350 - Stock turbo up to 12psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$400 - Aftermarket turbo up to 16psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$450 - Aftermarket turbo from 16psi - 25psi of boost (race gas and/or auxiliary injection only) 1 map
$600 - aftermarket turbo up to 25psi of boost (pump gas and race gas tune) 2 maps

1. Bob Willis (He wants tuned, count him as deposit received)
2. w94rx7tt (Deposit Received)
3. PDViper77 (Did steve give you a redund for your deposit?)
4. Juiceh (Deposit Received)

Maybe or at least some high #'s . I have a question though. Its going to be colder in November so come spring time wont that throw the tune off? Sorry for the newbish ?. I know the power fc compensates for air temp so would that take care of it?

When my FD dynoed 603 whp, it was in Febuary and the tune was dead on all summer long. Steve is the master. You'll be fine.

Do you have a general idea for when the cut off date will be for this? I need to make sure i get everything in time for this tune before commiting. Last time i cut it way too close.

Thanks

There has never been a cut off date. I just tell everyone to send in their deposit asap to have a guaranteed spot. Early deposits are guaranteed saturday spots, and everyone knows sunday is our dedicated hang over day

Are you missing any parts to get your car together or is it just labor ?

Well, I can see if everyone wants to do this on November 29-30 instead (The Weekend After Thanksgiving). This is if you can guarantee that you're coming. I won't change dates last minute like last time, too many people make arrangements with their employers and hotels to get bamboozeled at the last minute.

Anyone have a problem with moving this out a week ?

Haha, do you even drive anymore since that eventful Kan night ?

I'll remind everyone of what happened.

Steve Kan comes to town.
Chris and I put down two handles of RUM that day.
We end up at he OZ.
Chris and I are having a Lumber Jack DANCEOFF
Things get a little Heated
Chris attempts to beat me down
Tony The **** Hammer breaks us up
We leave


Chris tries drifting his 3rd gen into his neighborhood and ends up taking out someones mailbox, fence, rose garden and then proceeds to do a few figure eights in the guys yard. Chris gets stuck, gets out of his car and runs home with one hand over his eye.

I won't be 100% sure until stuff starts getting put together, but should have most everything there. I'll probably need some igniton parts though, it's all stock now.
