Steve KAN Tuning in St.Louis **Summer 07**

Going to bring Steve Kan back to St.Louis for another round of tuning. I'll let you know the possible dates when I hear back from him.

Tuxedo Park Racing is where the tuning will take place.

Let me know who wants in.

HAH! Yeah I know, you said that last time too! The car is done and ready for tuning though! I could have had a street tune by BDC done last week but his limit is 13psi and that is just a waste of time with this turbo.

His limit was 13 psi on pump 93 octane...you could have always filled up with 100 or 110 and run more boost and not waste time

You are aware that the 500R turbo has done 500rwhp @ 20psi on 93 octane right? 13psi on 93 would have been pointless to me. Why would I fill up and get a tune with 100 or 110(Christian only said 100 was available near him) and get a tune with that when I can't get it near me?(without driving so far out of the way that it makes it poinless) Thats just dumb. I want HIGH boost(20++) on C16 with dyno sheet proof, not 13 +1-2 psi on 100 octane with no clue... I can get C16 much easier than 100octane..

I need dyno numbers, I tried to convince Christian to stop by a shop that is literally 5 minutes from the airport on the way to his house. I could have had the car on the dyno running with C16 in the tank waiting for BDC to walk in the door and tune it for an hour and then be out.

Yeah, I know it was short notice, and a bit of a favor to do for someone he'd never met. But, there was no one set to go immediatley wednesday morning in the rain.... Why he refused I dunno, he lost $350 for BDC.



Gotta love street tuning threads where people say "so how did everyone do?" What is there to respond with?? "Gee I dunno... The car runs... but I don't have a ******* clue what its putting down!"

I would have liked to meet BDC and learn a few things from him though.

Oh well, Steve has my deposit anyway. Eric, keep us posted when Steve gets back to you.

They both work, I've always had problems with my Zach Morris Cell Phone though ........

Did you get my pm ? I sent you my numbers but they've always been the same.

I'll check with Burkett about July 14-15.

Since I sent in my deposit a long time ago am I subject to the new prices or the old ones?

Does my dyno deposit carry over too?

You're locked into the old prices. Your money for the deposit will carry over also.

he won't go over 12 psi on the stockers, even if you have all the supporting mods?

It moves on to the next price frame though.
He mentioned that on the "Gotham" section.

Eric, any idea what's up if we want to go over the 25psi mark?
Probably wont concern me since my fuel system hates me anyway....

Steve's going to need a Lap Dance if you want to get tuned for more than 25 psi.

I'm in for 1 spot for sure, and most likely 2 spots, assuming Kan quits holding my motor hostage.
