RMW tuning day at Helix in Philly Mar/Apr '10

We are firming up the exact date of a tuning day here at Helix in Philly, probably the last few days in March or the first few days in April. Anybody interested in being included, fire me a PM or email and we'll put you on the contact list.

Put down for an updated tune on the mini and hopefully Jan can do some magic on my M3 also.

How much is a tune going to cost... I only have a 17% pulley, colder plugs, and a CAI so I'm not sure if a tune is worth it until I get more upgrades.

You'd be surprised how much you can squeeze out of your car with those mods. The price will be the tune (Jan, you want to chime in on what you charge for a tune?), plus the dyno time: typically 1 hour at $95/hour.

You're on. With 24 names and counting, this obviously will run a couple/several days.

Okay, we have firm dates! We will be operating from Sunday the 4th, through Wednesday the 7th of April, maybe into the 8th, depending on overflow. Right now we have 29 folks who have expressed interest. We will be scheduling people in 1.5 hour slots, which means that we have 28 slots that we can guarantee. I will be contacting each of you that have expressed interest to get you scheduled. If you have yet to contact us about getting in the event, there's no time like the present

I have a 2007 MCS with the JCW Stage I upgrade and Helix FMIC. My son swears I should have had a tune after I put on the FMIC last Fall. Your thoughts on what the results of a tune might be? I would have to drive a few hours to get down there.

You will be very pleased with the results, plus you will need a tune to take advantage of the larger intercooler. I have had the tune for almost a year and this is the way the car should have come from the factory.

Count me in. Please send details including cost. I'm driving from north of NYC. If necessary I can make it on one of the weekdays. Monday would be nice, but Tues or Wed fine, too. A mid-late morning slot is ideal so I can get back at a decent hour.
