Cool, I'm all for going both days or one long day... I don't have much to do on the weekends so you can fit me anywhere
BTW, paycheck arrived...

Chris, text me when you want to meet up for me to write you the check. I just got back from business travel so I should be free to meet up. I'll be in Fort Worth, Texas all week from March 14th to March 18th so sometime before then.

Info sent out. As far as the N/A I am not sure it would be worth it on such a simple set up. I am sure Steve could tune it to run smooth, but there is very little he would be able to adjust to increase power. Get in touch with me quick only 3 more weeks.

What kind of engine management are you running? I am sure it would run stronger/better/smoother with a tune.

1. Hardhitter........... Verified..........1st Sat.
2. Red__dragon
3. wOppe................. Verified...........5th Sat.
4. Finger lock........... Verified...........2rd Sat.
5.Shpnout................ Verified..........3nd Sat.
6. primerGrey......... Verified.............4th Sat.
7.Natey

Getting close, we have our 5 so it might just be a one day event. Get those cars ready. Fresh Oil, fresh spark plugs, Recharge/Clean/Replace Air filters. Make sure no major issues. Especially with trying to fit 5 cars in a day we will need things to run smoothly so lets make it happen. Seems like we have a group of veterans to tuning, so I have no doubts.

Please add me to this list per my PM (Saturday morning if possible. Thanks!).

Please also list the name & address of the dyno location & when the tuning will begin - mine should only take ~ 30 minutes as only my timing needs adjustment. Thanks again.

Too Much Boost,
I talked to Steve Kahn today and he wants to know when you want him to come out. He obviously needs 3 weeks notice. I assume there are 5 deposits? Steve said count Yellow R1 in as Steve knows him.

Let us know...

Thanks, Chris

Change your plugs, fuel filter and wires. You can also clean your throttle body but that's about the extent of it.

It is at Tech3

70 Pullman Way
San Jose, CA 95111

I'm hoping the car is all ready. Since the last tune I only put maybe 500 miles on the car. Since then I have fixed my water injection and installed new turbo manifold gaskets.

Do you think there is maintenance that I need to do?

500 miles ago I:

Replace fuel filter with brand new OEM
Changed my oil
Brand new spark plugs
Checked to make sure all couplings are tight

Since it's been 500 miles since last tune (if that), I don't think I need to do anything to prepare for the tune.

Hopefully the gaskets were the problem for my low numbers.

Good question. Somebody needs to put a list of everyone who wants to attend and set a firm date.

Might be adding a few more to the tune so this will probably turn into a 2 day tune. The dates are set for March 19-20. Waiting to hear back from those getting in late might be able to squeeze in 1 or 2 more. But it will look something like this. Let me know if this works for all of you. Thanks see you this weekend.
