Jan is coming back to Texas, but first time in Austin! The last RMW tune in Texas was October '08 in Dallas, so our local opportunities are rare.
All day Friday and Saturday October 16/17, we also might be able to spill over to Sunday if we need to. We presently have 4 slots on Friday and 4 slots on Saturday available, also inform if you want a Sunday slot.
Preliminary Costs:
1st Gen Cooper and S, 2nd Gen Cooper: $400 for the tune + Dyno time at $150hr
2nd Gen S: $650 for the tune + Dyno time at $150hr
We will likely be at a shop in the SW Austin area.
I will update the thread below as the cost finalizes, with sign up slot details, and as the shop gets confirmed, etc. I will need a deposit to lock-in your slot, but more on that as we get closer.
About RMW
RMW is the tuning choice for the top racers in the USA. This year marks the first ever National Championship on the Road for MINI. RMW also brought home a 2nd place and two 3rd place finishes at the NASA Nationals. RMW is the only MINI tuner to ever do this. RMW also tunes the only Professionally raced MINI's in Grand Am. These MINIs have gone on to set numerous new track records for MINI's around the country and also run RMW built engines. RMW is the racer's choice!
Jan needs to come back up to the mid Atlantic region sometime soon!!!
Maybe someone in mid-Atlantic (Pa, Md, Va) or northeast region can get a tuning event going with Jan? I'd be the first on the list.

What kind of numbers can you get for the 2nd gen MC??
I did have a chance to ask Jan this question and he just does not know. While he certainly can tune a 2nd Gen MC and I think he has already, I do not believe he has enough data points to come up with an average or median value.
Even for the S cars, I do not think Jan likes to give out numbers because every car is different, and once he gives a number than statistically speaking ~50% of the cars will come in at a lower number.
However, from what I have read, I go by a guess of about 12hp and tq for an S car as an average. Not sure how this translates to a MC car though.

I do not have any numbers to give and neither does Jan. He does not have enough data to draw from. Sorry, not trying to be evasive, I just do not know.
