I'm There 9th of July

Oh, one other thing... do you prefer dyno tuning or can you do street as well? Wideband supplied, etc?
I was wondering the same thing.

the earliest i can be there is May 13th weekend. I'll need at least 8 cars if I'm bumping you guys up two months ahead of time. Unfortunately, I can only goto so many places per month and I really don't want to schedule more than one event every 3 weeks. Also, I just realize that I have a conflict tenative date with the NYC group on July 9th weekend. If May 13th doesn't work with you guys, either your group or the NYC group will have to get bump back several weeks. the sooner you guys get the people, the better it is to lock down the dates.

On a relatively stock car, I actually prefer dyno because it takes 30 mins just to change out the wideband and I could use the dyno wideband to do the tuning. As for as tuning in general, I prefer street because it is real life condition instead of simulated.

You can read the FAQ on the website for tuning info.

Well, from experience there're always people drop out due to the project not completed on time. It is easier to plan ahead of time so that everyone has enough time to finish up with their car than to rush them just to make it to the dyno. I have groups that plan the tuning session as early as 6 months ahead of time. Most of the schedule you see on the site were made 3-4 months prior. It might be better for you guys to lock down a date and see which is better for you guys. I can only travel if I don't have a conflicted schedule and/or too close to another tuning trip. I also know that the Montreal groups wanted sometime in May or July. This is why I made a site to help organize these events.

I'm not to sure about the 13th May date. Still trying to figure out what I want to do about my fuel upgrade (1300's or full 1600 kit). I will let you guys know when I find something out.

I will have to re-arrange a few things, but I can do May 13th if necessary. I have 2 FDs that need tuning. Steve already has my check, so consider my 2 "confirmed". Somebody should start a list to keep track of how many we have. By my count, we only need one more...

Now, that we have enough people what is the next step. I really want to make sure that this is going to happen as planned. I'm sure that sending money is going to be the next step. I would feel a lot better about these dates once everyone has sent in his or her money. That way no matter if some one has to back out for whatever reason, we still know that Steve will be coming down to take care of the rest of the cars, so who do we send this money to??????? I have check, credit card or cash in hand and waiting to confirm this date. I'm dropping the car off today at RotorSportRacing in NC for my LONG AWAITED Medium ASP intercooler and will have it back next Friday, so I might not be checking the forum until Saturday or Sunday.

A new set of Magnecore 8.5 or 10 mm wires would probably help to stack the deck in your favor, and you would unlikely have to replace them. Given the effort and expense of the tuning, it only makes sense to make sure the ignition is 100% for the occasion.

Are you guys still interested in getting this set up for May 15? Activity seems to have faded a bit, and I hope that won't put this project in jeopardy. I have mailed a check to Steve for one spot, and Brick has paid for two. I imagine there will need to be more cash ponied up to get this off the ground. Please don't drop the ball-- I really don't want to wait until July, or later.

I spoke with Steve on Friday, and despite what is on the forum, the May 15 date seems very much up in the air.

I sent him a check just to get locked into whatever is eventually arranged.

I would really like to see thes happen on May 15. Not sure what else I can do to help make it happen, other than to encourage everyone to pony up the $350 ante.

I made my check out to Steve, and sent it to him c/o Gotham Racing, 5621 Main St., Watauga, TX 76148.

Something to consider-- this will probably be a very popular session, and late comers (late to pay) may lose out.

Steve-- please correct me if any of this is wrong.
