Another Steve Kan tuning.. Soon. anyone interested?

ok, so i really have a car that needs to be tuned.. and i want to have steve tune it so is anyone intersted if i can put a small group of people together??? ill talk to Steve about it but can i get some people interested?? he charges $350 to tune a car for however long it takes..

ill most likely end up using RRR again because they were really cool.. but one car will have to be street tuned or dyno'ed on an all wheel drive dyno.

so can i get some interest.. either pm me or reply here

Thanks, Roman

Steve said he'd probably be back again for Seven Stock.

But, put me on the list anyway.

1.g00kb0i
2.basaltFD
3.dhahlen
4.
5.

Steve did charge me $350, even though my car was on the dyno for 4 hours. He thought more along the lines of $500.. but he just said he'd get me next time. The $350 charge is usually typical since most cars are only on for 2 hours. The reason I took so long is because he did two seperate tunes. A pump tune, and a methanol. I kept asking if he wanted the other $150, but he didn't. Steve is a good guy, and if he's going to be out here again in July.. I'll damn sure be there with C16! w00t.

Keep us posted, I'd like to know if he'll come out sooner.

Thanks for the info and I'm using PFC.
Also, does RRR have a datalogit handy for tuning?

yes, I can't believe you guys wanted me back already. I have 5 other places that I have to go before I can come back with you guys.

These are my current schedule so far. I have made commitment to these places months in advance so I can't back out....

May13th = atlanta
May27th = Tulsa
June 4th = Toronto
June 30th = St. Louis
July 8th = Montreal

The earliest I can do it will be July 22nd.
