Let me know guys!
Yeah, since you paid first it's your choice. I procrastinated the deposit becuase I wasn't shure if I would have to tune somewhere else. Do we have at least 5 people paid yet? What happened to the deposit list?

Dates shrunk back down to date, Sunday the 15th I think. They are on Harbor, forget the cross street. It's close to Fountain Valley but it's either Santa Ana or Possibly Costa Mesa. It's in a small 1 story plaza, their sign only says "Fast Freddy's" and there's a jacknherbox at the corner.

PISTONS,
Haha nice timing! ;]

ok so we got 6 cars thats awesome, looks like this tune is real now and we can only expand from there.

GoRacer,
Do you happen to have a CF hood and attended the last Fontana Speedway AutoX in January? If so I remember you and I do recall that you didn't get a chance to get tuned last October @ RRR w/SK because you showed up later in the day as a walk-in. Get your car tuned this year!!! (if your the same guy, otherwise I am talking to the totally wrong person and I apologize lol)

I have a black RE-Amemiya hood (being painted white in shop) and did run AutoX in Fontana in Jan. I was actually able to make the tune last time. I got my car out of Mazdatrix 2 days before the tune. Went strait to my "real" fabricator to adjust the twin plate clutch because it wouldn't go in to any gear without shutting the engine off in between shifts. Fixed the leaks, filled water and oil cause the warning lights were on and then went strait to Vegas to break it in. I went of and on every exit to mix up the speed. I had problems at the tune: Spark plugs too tight and broke apart and unfortunately the fuel problem couldn't be resolved. Everybody did try to help so thanks again but I was only able to tune at 10lbs. I was dissapointed but very satisfied that I got a safe base tune being terrified to drive without one.

Deposit just sent!

i was just wondering, if we can do 15 psi tune for stockers instead of 12 ??? eventhough i usually just run 12 anyways, but i'd love to be able to crank it up to 15 when desired.

I got a datalogic, but haven't installed it yet, can the datalogic be calibrated while the pfc is getting tuned??? (i.e. the boost reading on the commander)

Hmmm... So I deposited before EJCabrera but am listed after him... Whats up with that?

I'd rather tune on Saturday if it opens up. Right after Atihun would work. Otherwise I need to be out of there at a decent hour since I'm the furthest away (San Diego).

I'm running a street port, 99 twins, 550/1300s and all the supporting bolt ons.

I ran 14lbs on my stock twins with Pettit ECU but stock fuel. You will have better luck and reliability if you get 1300 secondarys and a bigger fuel pump. Also you could run a dual boost controler to switch from 12 and 14lbs.

So are we back to more then one day? I thought it was 5 per day and the list shows 6. If I add myself, that's 7.

15 psi is actually pushing it while still being safe... I have fuel and ignition setup + IC, DP, MP. some people run 17 - 18psi that's pushing it like a time bomb.. imo
i just want 15 incase of boost creep and have the option to switch on high boost, but I definitly run 10-12 for daily basis. but yeah, i'll ask steve when i see him.

K guys I have a little issue Steve asked that I send him a check this week to the shop. I was checking the balance on the Paypal and with 6 guys who sent in money the only guy who got it right was turbotoo_1990 nobody included there Paypal fee of $6.10. This is partially my fault for not included it in the deposit fee. I will send you guy out a pm for the ones who payed.

paypal'ed you the remainder.

in retrospect, we should have all just sent a deposit check directly to Steve. Would have saved us the paypal fees.
