Go ahead and take me off the list for now. I was able to get on the list to get tuned by Steve Kan this coming weekend.

I may go ahead and do another tune with Karack if I want to go with higher boost.

i haven't heard from Nick about the tune date or about the dyno rental so it may have to be pushed back. no one has paid deposits yet either i assume(since it was going to depend on where the tune was and the hourly rate as well as getting the dyno facility booked to be sure this would happen).

i don't want to try and organize it all at the last minute as i have several cars to get done so i'll try to get a hold of him and ask about it.

I need a tune by the end of January. If this doesn't happen soon, I'll be forced to go elsewhere. I've got deposit ready.

Dont hesitate in getting a tune from him.

Thank goodness I live in Vegas and have access to his services all the time. Haha.

Sorry for the lack up updates...having a hell of a time finding a dyno facility I like. I was pointed in the direction of one, but the guy only does the dyno Tuesday nights so I was like..no.

Juan I'll hit you up to find out about where you found.

Also it MAY be pushed back one week...

Ok so I've found a dyno facility in the bay. It's Brian's Uncle's shop. I've pushed the date back 1 week, just so I have time to collect deposits. So this is for 01/22-01/23 (Saturday and Sunday). I'm sorry for the lack of updates and responses, but I've got all the data now except for dyno rates, but they will be about $70/hour which is VERY reasonable.

If you don't leave a deposit you will be taken off the list.

Deposit is $100, NON refundable.

PAYPAL: ktm0012@sbcglobal.net

I couldn't find "Brian's Uncle" on the map. Can you help us out with the shop name and address?

Dyno rate will be $70 per hour. I need to talk to Ben about when he wants to start because the shop owner said he can open up as early as we want, but we need to be done before it gets dark out. So I'm thinking maybe 8am-5pm or something. We may be able to get this all done in one day if anyone backs out too.

Also everyone change your oil and spark plugs before hand. Hell it wouldn't hurt to bring an extra set of plugs too. **** happens and it's better to be prepared. Fix your exhaust leaks, make sure your air filter is clean and any other maintenance that is required.

Deposit sent, PM'd Karack and SmogSUX.

Also, turbo guys, make sure to mini-zip-tie your vacuum lines and check everything early in the week so we all get done early

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
