Aaron: I think that I am going to be the only first gen being tuned.

Chris: Ok, I will keep that in mind. His SN is Pluto on this board.

Tweak: That was my original intent with making it in April. I am still waiting for a little more input. Steve will not rush. We will have him for the entire weekend regardless. Last time we brought him over here he started at 9am and finished around 7 on sat and sunday he worked until he had to leave(~10pm).

Kevpell, sure is! He tuned 3 microtechs last time he was here. I think that he will be tuning 3 more this time not including you.

Guanco, thanks for the input. I am game for April. Is there anyone that cannot make it in April?

Like I said, I'm gonna be gone from April 23rd to May 5th... No guarantee if I'll be ready before that. I will try though... It's going to be cutting it really close though. I've got a few cars that have to go through my garage before I can get to my *own* TII. Keep hammering it out and I'm sure we'll all do our best to adapt. I understand the ABF thing though.

Dave do you think he'd tune my FD if I were to get my ppf swaped by then? My coolant leak is virtually non existent at the moment... My only concern would be if he'd tune my 14psi on stock injectors... I'm still pig rich, but I think a tune would do me some good...

I don't think I can make it by April. I have to go out of town for work for at least 2 weeks at the end of this month

I am interested if I can get everything installed time (and also if my budget allows as I am still trying to buy a house). Anyone know if he can he tune Rtek 2.1?

Tim, will you run out of fuel at 14psi? I know that he tuned zach's FD to around 12-13psi. Good to hear about the coolant leak.

If you can tune a rtek then I am sure that he can. Good luck with the house.

Well the thing is on my current tune I'm still running very rich... moreso at idle than on throttle. But so far I have remained extremely rich. My concern was since everyone says you'll run out of fuel on stock injectors that he wouldn't be willing to tune it at 14 psi...

$$ I don't need to spend right now. Especially if I'm currently running rich at only 50% Injector duty... And my peak boost I hit on my PFC this last weekend was only .94... So I'm under 14 psi lol IMO it's just one of those things that might as well wait until I FINALLY rebuild the engine...

PHEW! Ok, I just re-read the entire thread. Here is the outcome:

April:
Spandy
Tweak
Guanco 1
Guanco 2
Guanco 3
Z-beater
Afgmoto

May:
Eriksseven
Chrisw80
Sethw
Sethw
Dblboinger
Toomuch4you

Undecided:
Russianmob
Kevpel
Mazdatim
Zerorift

If you are in the undecided category please let me know which month you want. Since we have so many people I am thinking that it is possible to bring him out twice, once in April and the other in May. I will need to run this over with Steve though.
