No, it will be 5-6 cars/day. It looks like this will turn into a 3 day weekend for me.

"puts himself at the top,"
This is my Post right? I had tryed to get it going before but nobody sent me any deposits the only one I have is mine and thats not enough. If you need more info go to http://www.rotaryx.com/stevekan/request.html nothing has changed same Paypal. You are stating only what you have observed you have not read my PM's right? I am tired of hearing people that want there cars tuned but make no effort talk is cheap. I think it would be best if you waited until next tune session based on my observation.

The new 2007 Pricing
In order to make it fair for everyone in the tuning session, below is the new tuning price structure.
$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
By doing so, it'll allow me to gauge my time allocation to the consumer instead of rushing on those that needed more attention in the map.
Here is the estimated time frame allocated for each type of tuning.
stock turbo - 45 mins - 1.5 hrs
aftermarket turbo (pump gas) 1hr - 2.5 hrs
aftermarket turbo (race gas and/or auxiliary injection) 2 - 4hrs
aftermarket turbo (2 maps) 3-6 hrs

I'll be sending my deposit later today.
So where is the finalized location going to be?
Also, anyone know of the best station for race gas? I found that some Sunoco stations have 100 octane and some 76 ones that have 104.

I neither have a wide band or a 2nd bung. Steve has normally used the dynos's wideband whenever I've seen him tune. Can you clarify why this is necessary?
I'll be sending my deposit upon response.
Thanks.

I quoted what Steve had said in regards to the wideband and second O2 bung. Thanks guys for helping me getting this going. I did receive your deposits and so far first come first serve, so those who wait will not have prime time choices.

I just called Louie @ RRR. I was a little confused with the whole wideband thing as I didn't need anything the last SK tune at RRR in 10/06.
Basically Louie said that they run their wideband on the dyno, then SK has another wideband in the back.
Keep in mind that I don't know **** about widebands etc other than its a measurement tool. So I'm just repeating what i was told so if it makes since, great!
Otherwise, I asked him if I just have a Apex PFC and thats it, is that sufficient to tune? the answer was yes. (my car is running 99 twins only).

There might be some confusion. I recall from the last inquiry that some may want street tune. If that is the case, it is best to have their own wideband or an extra O2 bung so that I can place my wideband for tuning.
I have tried to put my wideband at the exhaust pipe while driving in the street, I ended up damaging my sensor and lost the vice-grip when hitting a bump.
It is really the prefer way if the stock equipped turbos has an extra O2 bung in place for my wideband sensor.
If we are doing all tuning on the dyno, I can put my wideband along with the shop's wideband for reference.
