Possibility for RMW (Jan) or someone similar to come to Vegas for a dyno-tune day?

Sure, I could take the time off work and go see Emil in LA...

But, I was curious if Jan would like to come to Vegas (hey it's VEGAS!!).

Also, I've had some other posters recommend the tune but I'm curious from Jan himself if I can expect a good benefit from my JCW '06 getting the dimsport treatement.

yes, set up a tune day and I will come. I was just there for AMVIV... should have let me know as I would have brought along the software.

Yes it will make a noticeable difference in drive quality and power

So how do I do it? Do I need to find a shop in town with the right kind of dyno?

I suppose I would start a new thread here, and speak to the members of the local Mini Club, etc?

Sorry, I'm feeling a little stupid right now :D

(and giddy. woo-hoo)

yes, find a dyna pack preferrably
dyno dynamics second

get at least 5 cars to tune (check with local club members)
this is an easy one for me to get to and economical
might have to bring the wife just kidding

Actually, at the very least, I'm hoping Jan can offer the dyno tune at AMVIV in March 2008 (the next one, whichever number it is). Even though I hope I have gotten one of his tunes before then (Phoenix, Denver which are closer than LV) I *am* going to the '08 AMVIV.

This sounds like a great idea because I have a so far concrete plan of mods and

1. Jesus Head - Mid-Late January '08
2. Tune - So far so good here in kansas for february
3. 440cc Injectors - AMVIV
4. Another tune - AMVIV

Just let me know, I get free ski passes for Vail, Breck, Keystone, A-Basin, and Beaver Creek. Then there are the hidden backcountry area's. Very Nice...

Actually I will be giving you guys a call today for some advice on the next level of mods for our 03 MCS.

I'll chat with Philp Hubertus here to see if he can put the feelers out for you. For Germans, the road block might be TUV but we shall see.

I get back on the 15th or 16th depending on how the dateline/departure time work out. I should be over my jet-lag a few days later.
