Welcome Greg

Realv8huntr, please see the first post. And yes there's room.

 

1. Yes the tuning is held in VA

2. that depends, generally Steve can tune about six cars a day. I can talk to Steve and see if he can do seven, if he can't then sunday may be the only alternative...and a street tune at that.

-Dan

 

he seems to like the street tune better anyways

 

Ramy I shot you an email at your info address.

 

You should truly heed Ramys warning regarding the Fairfax county police. Speaking from experience they are very aggressive and intolerant to any type of speeding/reckless driving. Their fines and punishments are also 3 fold that of Maryland traffic fines.

Just a heads up.

 

yes agree, Fairfax cops don't play around with that stuff. I don't mind the street tuning on drivebility but not the WOT runs. My wastegate is dump to atmosphere. NOWAY...

 

pssst.....your car doesn't cloak? Ricers!

 

My car cloaks, thats fo sho. But dan made the mold for it, PM him and he will hook you up.

 

Yes sir. Mine does too. Are you jumping in on this tuning session? Your PM you send me back about the couplers was blank...

 

yes i would like to get in tuning session also. What do i need to do to get in that day?

 

Just contact ramy and put down your deposit(assuming steve will have time to tune the car). Then show up. Make sure you replace the usual stuff though, running into a crappy problem that could have been avoided is not any fun.

 

do you have ramy's contact number?

thx

btw, yes i want those couplers

Also, Anyone here wants to buy my stock turbos? they only have 22500miles on them.

 

Plz simply follow the info found in the first post. No need to contact me per say.

Thanks,
~Ramy

 

Are there any openings left Ramy? I have another person interested. We may have to move spots 7 and 8 (If we have that many) to a sunday position.

-Dan

 

Send me a PM

 

I'm interested in joining in, I just need to know if there are any opening left.

Thanks

 

There are spots available on Sunday I believe, but the price will be slightly offset I believe. Ramy will be posting the details shortly.

-Dan

 

Ok guys, here's the update.

1) THE COST OF STEVE KAN'S TUNING HAS NOT CHANGED. IT REMAINS THE SAME.

2) PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR AN UPDATE FOR THE COST OF DYNO TIME.

Also, please note that while Dan and I are "sponsoring" this tuning session, neither Steve, Dan, nor myself are in ANY way responsible for *anything* that occurs if one chooses to do a Road Tune. This is my *stern* reminder to everyone that in VA, you are VERY likely not only to get pulled over, but to get thrown in jail for making WOT runs, esp. once you pass 80mph (which means no 4th gear pulls). In fact, I will be *strongly* urging Steve to refuse road tunes due to this fact, b/c I doubt he wants to do any jailtime either

Having said that...

A) Tuning will begin at 9 AM SHARP. Due to the tight schedule, if you're late, you'll lose your turn. It's that simple.

B) We have the dyno for 8 hours on Saturday (9 AM - 5 PM). And as previously mentioned in the first post, the first 5 cars to send deposits secured their spots on Saturday. So that leaves just a little over an hour and a half per car. A bit tight, but doable. Price is $175 flat fee for the dyno time.

Those running on Saturday at $175 FLAT FEE for Dyno Time:
1) George "Kenny" Rogers (VaGambler) - preferrably first, so you can have time to be ready to be tuned again at the end of the day
2) Brian Walter (turbodrx7)
3) Vladimir Barr (Max_Spd)
4) Mahlon Atwood (2gslse)
5) George "Kenny" Rogers (VaGambler) again

C) Also as mentioned in the first post, any deposits received after the initial 5 cars are subject to an additional $85 surcharge. This is NOT something that Steve, Dan, or myself are doing; this is to cover the extra charge we'll incur of running the dyno on a Sunday. We will have room for prob 2 cars on Sunday, so for those 2 cars, the dyno flat fee is $260 per car.

Those running on Sunday at a $260 FLAT FEE for Dyno Time:
6) Greg May (VaGambler's friend)
7) Realv8huntr (pending receiving a deposit)
8) phinsn98 (pending receiving a deposit)

Realv8huntr or phinsn98, whoever I receive a deposit from first (please see the first post in this thread for the details) will secure their spot on Sunday. Whoever is left will be standby; ie, their spot is NOT guaranteed. IF we finish early or on time Saturday night, we're allowed to go up to one additional hour overtime (up to 6 PM). That should get us about halfway done with one car, and we can finish it up first thing Sunday morning. That would give us enough time to tune 2 more cars on Sunday, bringing the total to 8 cars over the course of both days. But that is NOT guaranteed; it all depends on how tuning goes on Saturday. Needless to say, if you don't get tuned, you'll be refunded.

Also, DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR WHEEL LOCKS!!! DYNAPACKS *REQUIRE* THAT YOUR WHEELS ARE REMOVED, since it attaches directly to the hubs!

Lastly, ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE IN THE FORM OF CASH AND CASH ONLY. NO ALTERNATE FORM OF PAYMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. PAYMENT FOR TUNING AND DYNO TIME WILL BE REQUIRED UP FRONT BEFORE ANY TUNING CAN COMMENCE.

Thanks,
~Ramy & Dan

 

side note: Don't shoot the messengers!!! This is the best price we could find for a DynaPak in the area. Also no one wanted to run longer then 8 hours, and as you may suspect finding someone to open on sunday isn't common.

-Dan

 

hey guys , just a little concerned ,Greg may and I are comming from the tidewater area and have a 3-4 hr ride ahead of us with 2 trucks and 2 trailers . We were hoping to get this done on Sat. so we could get home sat night , but I see you have Greg down for tunning on Sunday , is there anyway to swap with someone or maybe get there earlier ???

Please get back with me , so I can get things straight

Thanks in advance

 

You would really have to talk to someone that is getting tuned that day. Either that, or bring both cars, mabye you will get lucky and there will be enough time at the end. NOT SAYING THERE WILL BE, but if things go smooth you may. If not, get a place to stay for the night that is close, and be first on sunday.

*not speaking for ramy or dan, just throw out ideas, they will answer better*

 

I have sent FDB Newbie a PM , but staying the night will not work out , I may just give greg my 2nd tunning and get a refund for the 3rd tunning . Just want to get it straight as soon as possible , so I can relax
. I dont know the other guys who are being tunned on Sat maybe you can ask them if you know them .
Thanks anyways

 

VaGambler, here's the deal. Greg will need to find someone local who's scheduled to get tuned on Saturday to switch w/. But Greg will still have to pay for the Sunday dyno time surcharge.

Please make sure to post up if you do find someone local to switch with.

Thanks,
~Ramy

 

If I can buy out someones slot on Saturday then that is what I'd like to do. Otherwise I'm going to pass.

Thanks,
David

 

Vagambler-i have been wondering, and trying to figure out this in my head. Why do you want 2 tunes? Are you trying to figure out power differences? Why not switch all your stuff before your tune, and then get tuned only 1 time? Is there something specific about your setup you want to test? If you are putting a new manifold/turbo/wastegate on, have you thought about oil/coolant lines(if its watecooler) oil restrictor, downpipe? If its utilizing a new manifold, chances are its going to need a new downpipe, unless its a stock s5 tubular and a BNR?
