I am thinking mid April would be good.....I don't think the snow will melt by then anyways! Plus all this damn salt will still be on the ground........Who else is interested in having a tune done? We will need at least 5 do probably make this reasonally priced.

My 3-rotor should be done and ready for a tune by then. My plan was to drive to Texas to have Steve Kan tune it. Pueblo is alot closer. Do you guys have a thread on this?

We had a thread started for bringing in a tuner last fall, but we had some problems getting enough people since we had a tuner just a couple of months prior to that (Brian Cane from TX).


If we have enough people in the Springs/Pueblo, I can probably work it out to get the tuner to the Springs for a day. I will get prices out in the spring, but plan on spending about $500. I know this isn't cheap but it will cover the best tune possible, flight, accomidations, and possibly a dyno depending on how much everything is.

I am definately ready to go also. Although, they better figure out how to stop this weather. Nice ice age!! Otherwise I might be the first rotary powered snow mobile driver in the world. LOL! Mike hit me up, I have a new number. So if things work out, make sure I am on that list. Thanx

I guess it's about time to start putting a list together of who wants tuning this Spring. Most likely tuning will run about $350 per car plus splitting accomidations and airfare. For right now plan on $500 per person for street tuning and $600 if you want dyno tuning. I know it's not cheap but not anybody can tune a Rotary! So who for sure is in......As long as we have 5 people, I will start to collect money for the airfare.

I'll let you know, I think I'm getting rid of the FD as it stands right now... I still might need to get tuned so it'll sell easier...

As long as you have a programmable ECU you can get your car tuned. We are not sure who will come out to tune. I have had a couple of request for Steve Kan but honestly I would let everyone else figure who they want. Anyone have Steve Kan's phone number? I was hoping to get Dee from Reactive Racing since he ran a 7.69 1/4 mile at Bandimere but he hasn't responded back to my PM. BDC has been out several times as well before.

I don't know what anyone could do with yours? Anyone else know what someone could do to help it run better?

hmmm I'd be down for it but I dunno if mine will be up and running by then... I'm hoping it will but we'll see I just bought my turbo and am only needing to redo the fuel and oil system and get a standalone (probably a haltech).
