Yes, I'd like to start early on Friday, only because it is almost a 5-hr. drive back to Jacksonville, FL, and I need to get back by 6pm.

Let me know, and I might even drive down the night before, esp. if somone can "host" me . . .

Thumbs up

Hey Steeve I don't know if you remember me but you have tuned my car in Montreal this summer,I'm Kevin,the one that goes with you take a beer in the old Terrebonne with Jean-Pierre Derdeyn and slept at the same hotel that night! I'm now living in Florida with my seven and for sure I'll be there at pettit saturday just to see you again you're so a nice guys to speak with and may be take a couple of beer again why not after a hard day job.

My question is do you think I should tune my car again because the weather is different(pressure,altitude) here than in montreal and than if yes can I have a special price for a little tuning session with you. You remember in Montreal you have spend no more than 30 minutes on my car so may be this time 15 minutes no more for a fast check up :0p ! hehe

LEt me know!

Happy to see you soon ! KEvin

9s should be more then fine, make sure they're a fresh set though.

Steve, what plugs do you recommend for my tune ?

This is for a combo street driving and track-events on my car with (4) 850cc injectors, and 13-14psi of boost.

I have a set of 9's and 7's waiting to be installed . . .

I recommended at least 9's on all 4, however if your ignition isn't sufficient you may need colder (more concentrated also) spark plugs such as the 10's and 11's. pettit will have the plugs available if needed so I wouldn't worry too much if you can't get plugs on time.

seeya guys this weekend.

how long can vary abit. It all depends on how prepare you and your car are before tuning. Some cars, I can breeze through it in about 30 mins while others could take me as long as 6 hrs to get everything right. Average is around 1.5hrs per car.

Big thanks to Steve and Cam, and Spooler and Papsmago!

She run's great.

I left Pettit at 3pm, had lunch for about 30-minutes, and I'm already back in JAX, in under 4-hours and writing this email with a BIG grin on my face!

I made about 221 RWHP with a BAD connector on the air-temp sensor, fixed that with Steve's ID and Cam's parts, and made 252 RWHP out the box, and with Steve's tune 273 RWHP with more to go IF I get a better flowing exhuast and even more with a bigger intercooler.

wow, I had no clue that a bad air temp connector could affect hp at all. Glad to hear you're happy Neil! How did everyone else do?
