Yeah, thanks for clearing up the pricing and the wideband thing but what about the dates? If it' 5 people per day and there is 11 people then another day besides sunday needs to be added.

GoRacer, I would think its a 3 day tune. I asked RRR and they mentioned also said 10+ isn't possible so itll be a Friday,Saturday, and Sunday tune. I'm sure Steve will lets us know for sure.

On a side note, you guys need to send those deposits in so that it will REALLY be a three day tune instead of a proposed 3 day tune. I believe March 15th is the deadline. Send the deposit to PISTONS paypal account : chuchamica@yahoo.com

1. Pistons
2. GoRacer - street and race tunes
3. Hikaru - DEPOSITED, Sunday first tune of the day, 99 twins tune.
4. i_am_jon ( i would like the 1st or 2nd spot on sat. 4/14 unless the people up top want them.)
5. atihun - DEPOSITED, Saturday 4/14 - early morning
6. turbotoo_1990 - DEPOSITED (4/14 - 13:00 - 16:00 - 2004 MSM Miata with Hydra EMS )
7. stevemack (Saturday 4/14 - early morning is best for me)
8. qax (PFC street tune)
9. ejcabrera
10. Slopoke03
11. gracer7

yeah i'd like to know also. i'll be running rich's old non-seq bnr 3s. im pretty sure though it'll fall into aftermarket cause all the components inside are pretty much different. but i could always hope that it'll fall into the stock category

BNR's are consider aftermarket but if you only want to tune it for 12psi, I will honor the stock turbo tune.

I know. I wish it was there longer. We used it for diagnostic more than anything, by the time it was actually working correctly, it was already gone before I could do anything with it.

I'll come out to this tuning meet if you want, and I can bring HPT and a laptop with the license if you want... I just know you're busy as heck when you run one of those days...

I fiddleded with it myslef and found a great writeup on how to tune your idle, and get it right the first time... WORKED 100%, problem was when I datalogged I didn't wait to let it warm up enough so I never collected enough data for all the cells so when it's partially warm it still hunts a bit.... (Soon to be Corrected) other than that the car Kicks A$$ , oh and brock told you about the AFR Gauge (PLX)??

So is there going to be a weekday for this tune? I don't want to confirm and then find out I have a race day the same weekend.

GoRacer,
at this point it looks like a one day tune because of the deposits... so if your planning to put money down keep in mind a Sunday 15th appointment as well as an optional 3 day tune appointment. At this time and based on the deadline it looks like it may be a 1 day tune, sad considering the amount of people on the list that wanted to get tuned!!! get that money in guys!

OK, I checked and no AutoX race that day so i'm good. There may be something else but that's what I was worried about. But even with me that's only 5. When is the deposit deadline and what happened to everyone else?

Get those deposits in !

GoRacer let me know if you are still ok with me going before you if this ends up being a one day tune. PISTONS still has to get back to me and let me know if he wants to go before or after me as well.

Let me know guys!
