Ok heres the details peoples!:!:!:!:!:!:!:

Dean's Performance
601 Sidwell Ct, Unit O (look for the pop up tent and rx7s)
St Charles, IL 60174

Saturday tuning starts at 9am. If you are driving in and want to get on first, let me know an approximate time youd be arriving and we will try to accomodate. $150 for the 2.5 hours. He is on a dynojet so load tuning is a bit of a pain but Steve said its not a problem. I figure he can also smoothe it out in the industrial park and roadways around the shop while driving.
You can phone me at 312-696-9213 with any other questions. A sunday session is available if we run over on saturday. We can only tune til 8 or 9pm depending. There is a fairly cheap hotel RIGHT behind the shop if you need that.

Days Inn Saint Charles (630)513-6500
100 South Tyler Road
Saint Charles IL

Best Western Inn of St Charles (630)584-4550
1635 W Main St (corner of tyler and main)
St Charles IL

Or if you REALLY need to, I have a short couch you could crash on lol.

Im taking friday off work if you need some place to finish playing with the car, my friends garage will do (all my tools are there).

Are you limiting the number of available spots? Steve tunes E6k's, right?

With having to stop tuning at 8ish, they will be lucky to get through all 8 cars. Everytime I've set up the Iowa tune 8-10 cars took until 1 or 2 am sat. and until 5ish on sun. when Steve's plane left. Best advise I have for you guys is make sure your cars are READY. Steve is there to tune not fix cars, which eats up considerable dyno/tuning time. If anyone can't get in on this session and would be interested in an Iowa tune(Cedar Rapids) area, send me a pm. (Please don't clutter up this thread)

That's really good advice - I have a rebuilt motor and pretty much everything is new too. I'm working hard to make sure all the bugs are worked out by then.

limiting to a bit yes. some of the tunes are more of tweaks so that gives us a little flex
