Later in the month would be better for me; more time to get parts in/the car ready.
Alex, can you set up a list of who is *definitely* going to follow through? I'm a 100% if I can get my stuff in time...

Agreed! +1 on that. Not a knock, just a fact. You've got Enzo and John up in the New York/Jersey area alone.

I know there are good tuners in NY and NJ, what it comes down to is preference and availabilty. I don't see any tuners post threads that they are available to tune 10 cars, otherwise it would be much easier. Believe me If I could of gotten a tuner up by me , it would of happened a year ago.

Each car takes, what, 2-4 hours to tune? Do you do it from scratch, or pre-load a map with similar mods and work from there? I'm not a fan of the latter, which is why I never had any interest in the Kan tuning threads. I want the map to my setup to be 100% mine, built from the ground up.

I don't start from complete scratch as that's highly impractical and a waste of time (ex: why build ignition curves from scratch? there's no point whatsoever in that). I use a map from a vehicle, with similar hardware, as a basis to start as a time saver. However, the map is tuned around the individuality of the car itself so it does become "100% yours". I don't load a base map on, spend 30 minutes on it, then say 'you're done'. It's all very much done around the car itself as best as I can do it.

Brian spent about 6 hours on my car. He took time to explain what he was doing, why he was doing it, and taught me how to make adjustments later on, if something changed. It did'nt seem like an assembly line to me....Dave

I would never even consider trying to tune 10 cars at a time...
It takes me two day's to properly tune a car.
You'll need to have the car cold in order to tune the cold start and warmup.
