Steve Kan tune day, feeler

I spoke to Steve. I'd like to have him out to tune my car. Is anyone in need of a tune? We need six cars in total. We can do it somewhere in the NE that is central for all of us.

List:
1) Matty
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)

i havent done the leg work yet as it felt premature.

I think we are looking at 400-450 per tune. then dyno time. I could be wrong. Once there is some interest i can button it down. I dont think that estimate is far off though.

in terms of location. I know spots in CT we can use but if thats not central to the group then we can address that as it plays out.

Any idea what ECUs he's comfortable with? I use Megasquirt and own the full license tuning and datalogging software.

I been wanting to do this for a while, Central NY here ... Can put me down for "possible" as it would depend on work schedule / working out logistics to get my lil beater to the dyno location.

Also know about 2 others locally that could use a tune here in CNY (Syracuse area).

I'd be willing to put this together. I know Steve pretty well. I don't have a dyno in house yet but I do have access to one literally around the block. Lets get list together and I will reach out to Steve.

This would be nice. Might be better to get something going on FB, then could tag folks in the posts / get more visibility. I have my lil beater running decently on 93 @ 14 psi ... But want a pro to do my high boost / E85 tune on a Dyno.

Sounds good Tom. Make sure you pull the EGI and crank the motor over to build oil pressure before firing it up.

Subscribed. Still waiting to be my engine back. Depending on if and when this happens I might be in. I am at least 5-8 weeks from getting back up and running.
