Detroit Tuned at "The Dragon"!

Detroit Tuned will be at the dragon again this year, doing installs, talking about all the hot products, and giving rides in our MINIs! We will be coming into town a few days early so we can start doing installs at your convenience, we would just like to know what products you are interested in, so we can have them available for you. We will be working with all the vendors there all weekend to bring you some great prices on parts and labor. So give us feedback here or call us at the shop to set up appointments!

Thanks!

I will have a M7 16% reduction pulley, and 2% crank pulley, and a AGS pro intake. How much would install on those parts cost? Please let me know. Thanks Spike

I may be interested in a pulley install, if you'll be doing those.

Are you guys going to have any twin charged cars there? It would be cool if we could have an over muscular group of MINI's run down the dragon. I should have the Stage 2 kit on.

Just a bump to the top, if anyone needs installs let me know. I'll be doing more than just pulleys.

Would you guys be willing to install a swaybar that I may have bought from, uh... another vendor? I decided against trying to do it myself. Can't think of a better place than the Dragon to break one of those in!

Just adding my 2c, to wish Chad and Detroit Tuned great success in May. He installed the UniChip in my Cooper CVT, and the car performed was transformed for the better [mileage AND performance]!

Thanks again!!

Maybe interested in some goodies.
Pulley maybe, some other things, bypass valve - although I don't know if I need that. I have some questions about it.

well i am guessing you have a 15% pulley. add a 2% crank pulley. you get to running around like you have a 17% on and the engine spins up faster thru the RPMs. it will make you faster!

BBK= Big Brake Kit

a set of H-sport springs are always a good choice. looks, ride, and performance all in one.
