Can you get an air/fuel on the next dyno? I wouldn't be comfortable even considering the file without it. (Third time, don't know if you glanced over the posts or chose not to respond)

oh Jan,
I was just thinking about our friends in Europe who may be thinking your tune isn't as strong as theirs. Can you make up a drive train loss correction and post BHP?

(just ribbing our European neighbors - this isn't meant to offend anyone)

Good to see your getting the 09 JCW to tune.

Do you want to entertain coming to Denver to do a R56 tune, if we can get enough folks interested, perhaps even some R53 folks might want to give it a go?

Let me know.

Hey Don,

I am putting together a RMW tune party right now in Utah. Jan was planning on coming here in Sept. but if we get the numbers he will come sooner. Right now I have 2 R56 and 10 R53's scheduled. Maybe we could work together to get the number of R56's higher?

We have a brand new Dynapac coming to a local shop here in Utah in June. Price per hour will be $100-$110. Let me know what you and your club thinks about getting together

Is there an approximate ETA for a handheld for R56 yet? I know you said it's in the "works" but I was just wondering how long

So a stock mini makes more power than a modified one with your tune?
