Are you doing any mods also? I would like bigger injectors before a tune. It's a long drive for me so not real sure I want to drive 400 miles to do this tho.

He told me through email that he won't touch mine because it's a pain. He said for me to wait for a OBDII. And he didn't want to mess with my warranty(which I'm out of).

Oh well, PAW/RennTech can have my money if he doesn't want to.

He's aware that OBD will not be a possibility, we discussed it.
He told me the same thing about warranty when I spoke to him...in hopes that an OBD would be available soon. But that's obviously a no go.

Guy is super busy, I'll try again before he takes off to this tuning event.
Gotta set up my meth kit first then I'm set to go!
I'm glad he's driving distance from me.

Rob.....we need to get you a tune, you've been running rampant looking for tuning solutions haha.

Oh I was just curious cause I would have drove there but I'm going with RennTech. Just waiting to add a couple of parts before I send out my ECU. Let me know what you do!

Yes, we'll be operating in the shop, so if you need prep or installs, just drop us a line and we'll set you up.

Can I get the slot at 1pm 6/4? I would also like you to install my JCW injectors before the tune.

Giddyup.

We've still got a couple of slots on Tuesday, if anybody is interested. It looks like the weather will be better Monday and Tuesday. For those who were hoping to break power records on the weekend, better luck next time: the temperature's going to be in the mid 90s.

Nothing scheduled: but we can always do remote dyno tunes, so there's custom tuning 365 days per year.
