They would not let me edit my post so I had to post again.

The shop is under 10 minutes driving time from the N.O. airport.Thought I would throw that in there,easier to get Steve kan to the shop
I don't know if you know but the N.O. airport is in Kenner.

I am sure marshall will be interested. He has been talking about it forever. He has been rally busy with finals and probally hasn't seen this thread yet.

If your talkin about Sonic Boom Motorsports,they don't have a dyno.They bring all there cars to Shreve Automotive.Unless they got a dyno in the past month,which I doubt but who knows,lol.

I'd be in, but I just sent my turbos off today for the BNR stage 3 upgrade. Lead time is 4 weeks, so I wouldn't be able to participate until mid-Sept. at the earliest...

yeah lets wait a little while cause I am all up for a tunning after I'm done but I still have alky injection, intercooler install, t61 install with oil feed and return lines and ss fuel lines left to install so it will be a few months. Yeah nevermind you guys probably want this asap.

Guys, there is Jay with COR racing who has the portable Dyno. Then I'm not sure if 454 Dyno here in Metairie is still in operation. I know the shop is still there, but they may have done away with the Dyno. Jonathan would know best, he used to work there.

Also, I think Jack was in need of tuning a while back.

Does Steve Kan deal with carbs?

Nevermind... It would take so long to get the car tuned to perfection... Heh.

Do a pull, change the jets, do a pull, turn the screws, do a pull, change the jets, do a pull, change the plugs, etc., etc., et cetera. I'll just tinker on it in the drive way.

Late Sept. preferably. That'll give me the month of August to get the turbos upgraded and returned and a few weeks for Freddie and Jonathan to slap them in. I don't want to hold everybody else up, but if y'all are cool with waitin', I'm definitely 100% in!!!!

At the latest early sept. for me there are 4 others who will get there cars tuned allready from this area and one from mobile. I dont want to get my car back and have to wait that long to drive it. I was told that there was a guy in slidel he was at the get together a few months ago i belive his name is Mr. Barry or something if he could put a little tune on there for me to get me till then I would. And i havent even called down there yet you never know he could be busy intill december for all we know. So we will see what happens

I'm ok for now but will show up to help if yall setup a tuning session.

I plan to purchase a wideband this month and work will be sending a new laptop. Internal mouse stopped working on my current laptop so that put a kink in dataloging (kinda hard to use an external mouse in the car). With the help of a few written tuning documents and help from our local tuning experts, Mark and Barry, I feel confident to start tuning myself.

Steve does a good job of giving you a safe tune. I'm ready to spend the time it takes to tune for drivability and different weather conditions, which can't be done in a couple of hours on a weekend.

I'm still interested. BNR3's should be shipped out first of next week and then I have to get them installed. I'm hoping to be ready by mid-Sept., but it may be late Sept. for me...
