Is it likely Steve will finish tuning all of us on Saturday? If not, is the dyno going to be available on Sunday? I assume the guys street tuning will be after the dyno tuned group, is this true?

Yes, all the dyno tuning will be done first. Street tuning comes next. I'll update all the information later tonight. I need to eat some supper.

This might be a question I should not ask but where do you do the street tuning?

People need to show up early since we don't know when Steve will be ready for the next car. Peoples cars might break or just tune faster than others. When this happens, the next car needs to be there and be ready

We're going out for dinner and drinks tonight. If you want to come, call me 618-567-9641 .

Updated tuning list as follows.


1. Lupe-------------------------(Paid)
2. jeepguy04------------------(paid)
3. rotornut---------------------(paid)
4. johnrxt2---------------------(paid)
5. Cowsniper------------------(paid)
6. Trex72-----------------------(paid)
7. TonyTurboII-----------------(paid)
8. Books------------------------(paid)
9. Coolduke--------------------(waiting for payment)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dyno List:

1. Myself/Lupe
2. jeepguy04
3. rotornut
4. johnrxt2
5. cowsniper
6. trex72


If you see anything that needs to be changed, please let me know.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone needs to make a checklist before Steve Kan arrives. This is what he said in an earlier post.

"Here're some items to inspect/replace before the dyno. New plugs (less than 1k miiles), new fuel filter (less than 5k miles), inspect spark plug wires, oil change, full tank of whatever gas you normally run, inspect tires (no nails or anything that can fly out during the dyno), inspect coolant fluid (change if necessary), clean air filter, put all the mods in that you plan to run before coming to the dyno (I don't think there'll be enough time to install them on the same day)."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friday night plans

I'm picking up Steve Kan from the airport at 7:05 pm. We're then going to meet everyone back in Ofallon Illinois for some dinner and drinks. We'll most likely do this at Chevy's Fresh Mex. I think 8pm would be a good time to meet.

Chevys Fresh Mex Mexican
(618) 632-6800

How did things go tonight? Did Steve's flight arrive on time and such?

What is the tentative start time for tomorrow. Is the dyno list the order in which people will be tuned?

Here's my number if I need to be contacted: 314-703-0329

533whp on a dyno dynamics should be around 560 or more on a dynojet, so that's only like 200hp more than me.

Awesome job Eric, hopefully this new setup treats you good....looking forward to seeing how she runs man.

Who was this?

Maybe I missed this one?

Eric, I would defiately prefer atleast 1 hour of dyno time, as opposed to doing 140 on old tires with an illegal plate. Let me know what its looking like with Axis tomorrow. Ill be up around 1030 to go look at a bumper, but depending on what the dyno guy says I may have to do some re-arranging, but I have to go to this open house, which is from 1-3, not 4 as I thought. Well whatever, give me a call.
