not likely.

Like Chris said, you really should just show up. If you read the prior posts, you'll see that these tuning sessions only happen once every several months.

hmm ... so nobody says anything about the last session?

mine was easy, I think. because I have straight stock + 1300cc secondary. that was it. it gained 15WHP.

it's too soon to tell but I feel that car rev up much faster. I didn't have the chance to drive since the tune. However, I'm going to track it soon in 2 weeks. That will count.

Thank you Chris and Steve.
It's also pleasure to meet other guys too.

Met with couple of guys from the forum. Always a great thing. Got the car tune, a small hickup, but that's okay. Steve's got it straighten up.

Before the FD was tuned, it idles rough and no power at low rpms (before 3000) and really starts to kick on after that. However after Steve had tune the car, it acts totally different and even the clutch was MUCH easier to clutch in. I guess the reason behind that was much less vibration from the engine not running rough.

However, I was amazed with the way the car sound before and after the tune. The throttle response was awesome and the way the car drives right now just put a huge smile both my friend and my face =).

Great job Steve, hopefully I can get my car done and have you professionally tune it again!

These are the cars I brought to the tune session with lots of help from my friend Tim. Shpnout's black FD with an A-Spec single and my CYM (sort of) FD with non-sequential BNR Stage 3s.



Steve did a great job with both cars. There was unbelievable noise and exhaust, lots of exhaust. It was great! FYI we were running our spare wheels in the rear so as not to heat cycle our race tires.

If anyone is interested, both Niles (Shpnout) and I will be racing this weekend at Thunderhill in Group 1.

Yup,

That's Niles whipping his ride a few years ago when he was running a high-flow Pettit non-sequential twin set-up. Now he's running an A-Spec single, more torque, more power, more grins...

Here's a link to a recent thread with video.
