Jan Tune in CT - OFFICIAL!

OFFICIAL DATES ARE APRIL 12th and 13th!

Things will kick off about 9 am each day. Those who need injectors, will need to be there early so they can do the install and then work you in for the tune.

the dyno requires removal of the wheels, so please bring your wheel key if you have wheel locks, otherwise they may not be able to get the wheels off and then they wouldn't be able to dyno/tune.

UPDATE!!!
If you are purchasing injectors from Bishop's, you must contact them directly to order them ASAP!
Contact Info:
Kyle Bishop
Bishop Motor Sports, LLC.
www.BishopMotorsports.com
Phone: 860-269-7821
Fax: 860-606-8007

PS. Those just getting the tune, please also arrive nice and early so they can get the dyno rolling while some of us are getting the injectors installed.

COSTS:
$350 Tune (I think thats Jan's Price)

What you are getting done (tune, injectors, or both, and if you are getting injectors installed, are you buying them from Bishop's or bringing them along):

I MUST Have everyone's info by Thursday, the 27th, so I can get the Official roster to Bishop's. Thanks!

LINK TO NEMINI THREAD: http://nemini.org/index.php?topic=10...;topicseen#new

UPDATE - 4/7.08 - Latest email from kyle:
Please Read for all the info., I will be posting the newly revised schedule as soon as I get it!
I will get this Schedule all sorted out and get it to you today. Please post it up when you get it because there have been some changes in time slots for people. The day will remain the same as original for everyone, but the times have been changed slightly. If you could please let everyone know that these times are a base not set in stone as it will all depend on how quickly we get cars in and out. Tell them to be here for the time listed, but be prepared to hang around for a while as these things tend to run behind. I will have pizza and soda available for everyone probably around 3pm or so and we will have the PS2 available so people can race each other in GT3 or GT4 or if they just want to watch TV they can. I will not be allowing customers in the dyno area as this is not covered on our insurance. We will allow each owner the chance to video or take pictures of their car on the dyno once Jan is done tuning it. That way they can see the end result.

Larry,
How far is this from Buffalo?

Is this something we can combine together?

You must be reading my mind, I just sent you a pm to see how you were coming along with getting Jan out here. I would much rather go to Rochester because it is closer. Jan to answer your question Ct. and Rochester are about 6 hours apart. I am not sure if their is a Dynojet in Syracuse area but that would be somewhere in the middle.
Let me know if I can help.
Steve

Haven't heard back from him yet. We do appear to have quite a bit of interest here though.

I'd be interested but it would really depend on $$ and date. Less interested if before the Dragon, but...

I'm definitely in. Has xx tuning agreed to set some time aside for us? CT will be a pretty good setup because you can pull the NY crowd as well as Northern NE. Maybe Red Sox and Yankee fans can get along for a day.

JeffC spoke with another shop, Bishop Motorpsorts, in Canton, CT, and they said that they will host the event. All we need are 10 cars and a date. Once I hear from Jan, then we can get the ball rolling.
Here is the update on the nemini thread:

Yes Bishops can host as well as do the wrenching so lets start a list and get some dates for Jan and make it happen.

Astro can you edit your first post with a list people that want in. That way we can track the interest.
