Revolution Mini Works (Jan) Tune Event - Louisville, KY

Jan at Revolution Mini Works will be coming to Louisville, KY for a two day tune event, June 13-14.
Jan is hoping for a minimum of 8 cars per day. 1 hour to 1.5 hours per car. R53 may be much faster, so we may be able to get as many of 13 cars done per day.
$350 for R50 and R53. Price isn't firm yet for R56, but Jan WILL BE TUNING R56 cars during this visit! 33ft lbs of torque and 30whp on a stock R56.
We'll be tuning on a DynoDynamics dyno at the rate of $100 per car. Yes, this dyno can accept lowered Minis.
We currently have 8 cars confirmed and 7 "maybe", so there's still room to get in on this great event.
Please confirm with me if you want a tune so I can get firm numbers to Jan.

Do you have a tune for the factory JCW? If so, what kind of gains could be expected?

yes we do, we plan to spend more time on it before Louisville

preliminary tune was 18whp but I still need a few maps to do it right for even more hp. I won't lean spool the car to get more power

I dyno'd my JCW stock and put down 214whp/219TQ. 232 would be an 8% gain

Now all I have to do is convince the wife to spend our Anniversary in Louisville, Kentucky.

I'm probably going to have to be out for this event. The wife isn't too keen on giving up her anniversary for it

Louisville is a really great town with wonderful things to do and excellent restaurants. You actually could make it into a very nice mini-vacation.

Saw in the other post that the r56 tune is $800, is that going to be the price for this event? Or do we not know yet?

I believe $800 is the price for the R56/55. Waiting for confirmation from Jan. Saw another dyno print out showing a 49hp gain!
