Steve Kan tuning in Greenville SC
well boys, its that time again. looking to see about interest in people having their cars tuned. im looking to have this sometime in late august early sept. steve requires a min. of 5 deposits to lock in a date and buy a plane ticket. deposits are $200. here is a breakdown of the tuning costs from his website.
Tuning costs:
$350 - Stock Turbo up to 12psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$400 - Aftermarket Turbo up to 16psi of boost (pump gas only) 1 map
$450 - Aftermarket Turbo from 16psi - 25psi of boost (race gas and/or auxiliary injection only) 1 map
$600 - Aftermarket Turbo up to 25psi of boost (pump gas and race gas tune) 2 maps
for more info go to www.kantuning.com
dyno costs im not sure on yet as im waiting to hear back from two shops as to which has the better price. either one will be on a load bearing (eddie current) dyno to ensure a great tune. steve prefers mustang dyno's, but unfortunately the closest one is ATL.
so lets start the list. post up if you are honestly interested in doing this, then we can pick a date and collect deposits. also, put a brief description of your car like myself.
1. dregg100-'93 haltech plat, BW S475, large SP 2 maps
2. 20b10ae-'88 haltech e6k, holset h1e, stock port
3.
4.
if you have any questions post up or send me a pm and i can get you taken care of. i have organized these before, so know what all goes into it.
thanks guys!

Amazon Racing in Anderson has a Mustang Dyno. Good group of guys there. Owner knows his **** too. They mostly do Fords, but would possibly rent their dyno for a day. I've used them twice.

Interesting story about one time I was there

Are you talking about the place beside NAPA in Mauldin? They're good guys too. I've never used them for work or anything, but I've talked with them a few time and they've given me used parts that I couldn't find elsewhere (without buying a whole kit or something, like an oil pump pickup tube... can't get those without buying the whole pump assembly). Nice guys.

alright guys small update.
talked to the shop a new shop today as the others flaked. their normal rate for the day is $600, which really isnt that bad. but the owner wasnt there, so he is supposed to talk to him and call me back tomorrow to finalize price. since we will be doing it for two days they may be able to work something more of a flat rate per car type deal.
what do you guys think for a date? im looking at the weekend of sept 26-27.

Hmm I disagree, if you understand the systems on the Fd well and you understand the relationships between the AFR, EGTs, timing, injector duty etc. you should be able to produce an excellent safe tune. I agree some one with no rotary knowledge and lots of piston knowledge would be a bad idea but he is extremely experienced on rotaries.
Any way, I cant afford a Kan tune but I think when I get all set up I am going to no boost drive to Raleigh and let him help me with it. Should learn a lot and be a bit less expensive.
Any way I was just throwing some ideas out if there was not enough interest in a "Kan" session.
Sorry I "tarded" up your thread.

key word you used, "safe." my tune is safe. but its not at the limit of safe which is where steve will take it. not to be a dick, but if you cant afford a few hundred dollars for a proper tune, then you should not own an FD.
