Are there any midwest group tuning sessions this spring?

I for one would really like my car retuned in the next few months. I had it tuned by Steve Kan in June 2009, but would be happy to do another tuning session with any reputable tuner. I'm in Wisconsin, but am very happy to drive to any neighboring state for a legendary tune sesh. Anyone else still spending money on these cars???

You just need to learn to avoid the cameras. Guess we'll see if there is any interest and where the interest is.

The Cedar Rapids area is fine with me. I'd like to be tuned by the end of May, so any time during April thru mid-May is sounding nice. I can be ready sooner, but I'd rather not risk a cold snowy weekend for a tuning sesh. I would pay my deposit right now if a session was ready to be booked

Nothing solid yet, but if 5 people are willing to send a deposit I will get with Steve and make it happen.

I'm serious, but my car won't be done till like mid April early may.
And how much would the deposit be?
And after that, would it depend how much more on how hard the car was to tune?

I'm still in for wherever, whenever. I just want this to happen by May 12-13 weekend, as the Wisconsin Dells Automotion car show is the following weekend. My checkbook is on standby. Lets pick some dates and get this show on the road...

I am shooting to do a tuning session in Chicago, but if we can't get enough people in Chi-Town, I am up for Cedar Rapids again. Just went BNRs, Front Mount and a slew of new goodies, including a new fuel system.

I couldn't care less if this goes down in Chicago or Cedar Rapids, as I'm the same distance from either place. I just want to tune by the May 12-13 weekend or sooner. I guess my vote is for the cheaper dyno rate
