Adding Guy. Deposit Received.

Guy, I originally said 1pm but I screwed up. Youll need to fill the 3pm slot. Let me know if this works for you. Also please PM me your phone number just in case i need to get a hold of you quickly. Thanks

Saturday April 1st

11:00am - Jonny (JonnyBravo)
1:00pm - Mark (Fuhnortoner)
3:00pm - Angel (DJAngel)
5:00pm - JP (JP's 93 FD)

Sunday April 2nd

11:00am - Richard (Chard)
1:00pm - Bronson (Boostin)

***Important***

1. Show up 1 hour early
2. Change oil before tune day
- Steve says NO ROYAL PURPLE OR MOBILE 1
- Steve prefers 10w40 or 20w50 ONLY
- Steve recommends Vavoline, Amsoil, Redline, Brad penn, or Idemitsu
3. Change Spark plugs 2 DAYS BEFORE TUNE
4. Bring an extra set of spark plugs (i didnt see anyone running meth, but if you are, you better be running an ignition amp or race plugs, or prepare your butthole for ignition breakup.
5. Everybody should be running a wideband (they are cheap enough)
6. If your car has problems, Steve WILL immediately pull it off and start on the next car. Once your issues are fixed we can throw it back on.

Thats it everyone. Come prepared. This is an expensive activity were doing here. Its very hard to get everyone organized enough to get steve out here, not to mention expensive. I am for sure going to bring lots of spare parts and my large portable tool box.

EDIT:
-Bronson and Rich switched.
-Added Guy

Confirmed with Steve as of 30 seconds ago.

Also confirmed with the dyno shop for this weekend. Dyno is $100/hr. Steves estimate is 2 hours per car.

Seems like everything is on track.

I'd like to add, I'm bringing lots of tools and spare parts for myself guys, and i suggest you do the same. This is a small window and it would suck to blow it. (no pun intended)

Good luck everyone!

Some photos from today's tune. I drove the car home and it felt great. I ended up with 284whp.

Also good luck to the guys for tomorrow. I know Mark and Angel had some issues today.
