Microtech is Gaby's thing. Don't know if he is tuning Power FC. He did my car. G

Okay, now that's 5 ... me, zydeco king, robrxray, redline9, and FC3S_nataku. If Steve doesn't chime in on the thread in the next few days to let us know something I'll give him a call and see what he says about 5 people.

More are always welcome.

Maybe he will head to NE FL the day after he does S FL and get a "2 for 1". We have around 5 guys up here it looks like.

Sounds like we might have something soon. 7 now with me, zydeco king, robrxray, redline9, FC3S_nataku, rogrx7, and tragic00.

I'm gonna email Steve now to see if 7 is cool, and also to see about a time.

I'll keep everyone informed.

Add 1

Jims5543 - Motec M4 - up to 16 PSI 13BREW. I am breaking in the engine right now so anytime after 3 weeks from now is peachy with me.

+1 for Pettits dyno.

Although I prefer him to just street tune my car. I accomplished a lot more on the street with him then on the dyno. What I put on the rollers is not important to me. Driveability is.

Cam usually cuts a deal when there is a group. Don't quote me on this but its in the $60 Hr. range. Cash speaks volumes.

Not sure how soon it's gonna happen. I hope early next year is ok for everyone because I'm really busy the next few weeks with school and Christmas traveling. Good to know we have eight now. I'm pretty sure Steve will come down for eight. I just have to get with him and everyone else so we can agree on a date. I have 2 tests and a six page paper due next week so I prolly won't be paying much attention to this thread but I'll be back around Thursday to focus on this again.

So role call is me, zydeco king, robrxray, redline9, FC3S_nataku, rogrx7, tragic00, and Jims5543 now.

+1 for something near Jacksonville, FL.

BTW: Steve did a tune for 4x850cc PFC about two years ago, and she's been very reliable on the track and everyday driving!

Yeah early January sounds good to me as well. I'm gonna find out more info on dyno price soon, but I have finals and I'm going out of town for Christmas so I'll get on the ball after the holidays.

Role Call @ 9 People: R1Outcast, zydeco king, robrxray, redline9, FC3S_nataku, rogrx7, tragic00, Jims5543, and JerryD680.

Drop me out. I am making good progress on my own. My base map is solid and I really need to stop depending on others to tune my car.

By the time Steve gets here I will not need him. So pull me out of this one. Thanks.

I may be in for Jan. If we can get a central location that would be great. I don't want to drive far since I get horrible gas mpg.
If we can do it in Tallahasese, I can try and make sure the dyno rates would be worth while.

Just chiming in to let everyone know i haven't forgotten about this. Holidays are almost over and i passed all my classes with an "A" so I'm about ready to get this tuning session going. Late January is best because my mechanic is building another car right now and he needs the guy to break in the engine before tuning and such. I'll contact Steve soon and hopefully set up a definite date and maybe some other more central location.



All times are GMT -5. The time now is 02:26 PM.
