This tuning session was very problematic. Almost everyone’s cars had issues including mine.
It took way too long to get all the cars done. Steve worked his *** off Saturday from 9am-10pm and Sunday from 10am-12pm (Midnight).
Next time needs to go a lot smoother. We were too tired to hit the titty joints and that’s not good.

Yea, I felt bad about my car and the boost problem... I don't think I really held anybody up though. I pre-paid for 1:15 of dyno time and I used 1:30... so, there ya go. I was impressed with what Steve did with your cars... I obviously didn't give him much to work with... and I wasn't implying anything negative about Eric's planning/management of the event. This was my first RX-7 dyno experience... so, I'll know better next time.
And about the scheduling of the whole day... you're right, anything can go wrong during the day.... But, perhaps we'll make a point to accomodate those that traveled great distances to the tuning next year... that way they can stay on schedule with other plans. I thought I clarified that before I sent my deposit for both Steve and the dyno, but maybe I didn't. And next year I promise I'll have a tuneable car... and I still won't hold anybody up. Hope I didn't step on any toes... that's not the intent. At work we call this "constructive criticism"... or in Eric's words a "learning experience".
Good numbers everybody... I wish I could have stuck around for the Sunday cars.

It would be nice to have mine tuned but I am not sure what I am going to do with the fd. It may not even be around for the 3rd round. If it is and in running condition I am 100% there. It sucks not going to either the 1st or 2nd rounds because of complications with the car. Nice seeing some good numbers.
