Steve Khan.... Tuning in CT

I just got off the phone with Dan Nazzaro from XX-Tuning in East Hartford, CT. He's good friends with Steve Khan and said Steve would be willing to come up from Dallas to tune some cars if Dan could find him some business (at least 5 cars). According to Dan, Steve charges $500 for each car, but covers all aspects of tuning, from drivability to WOT. Anyone here want to get in on it??? Please reply here or send me a PM!

the date is unspecified since i haven't found anyone to get in on it yet. I was told he wants at least 5 cars to tune to make it worth the trip. To my knowledge, yes the $500 includes everything.

sigh,

I guess I'll be making a long drive. I'm interested. Need tune, want to feel this thing properly. What date are you looking at having this on? Or at least month?

After speaking to a few people at the Cape Cod meet this past weekend, I think it would be in everyone's best interest to do the tuning in the Spring since a lot of us (including myself) are going to be upgrading over the winter, and whats the point of having a kick *** tune and having to do it all over again? I just spoke with the XX-Tuning guys and they are going to have Steve call me so I can get all the details. I'm hoping that the more people we get, the lower the pricing will be. I will keep everyone posted.

I'd probably be in to do this, but I'd really like to have a map made from scratch. Plugging in other maps and working from there won't provide the best possible tune, and for that kind of money, I'd really want the very best...

Kahren is in CT and charges $400 including dyno if I'm correct. I can vouch for his work. Just an option for those on a stricter budget.

i almost went to kahren not too long ago, but steve is known nationwide for his work and an extra hundred bucks is well worth it.

I think a better question is "What ECU is favorable for ME?".
