There isn't any "tuners" south of Buschur's up in Wakeman OH clear down to Lexington. We all either travel or tune ourselves.

I would be happy to teach you the basics. I warn you.....the learning curve is a vertical line.

I think you just need to start a tuning class and charge admission. I'd enroll!

Sean.....Learning to tune isn't a one day event. There is a lot to know in order to do it properly. You are on the right path with getting an Innovate Wide band. You need to have the ability to log boost as well though. Without boost and AFR, your tuning won't be possible.

As for the Dyno.....I will need to offer bonds as a method of financing the operation. Or, donations would be willingly accepted. In the coming months I will be getting my Tax ID and business model together. In order to do this kind of work, whatever municipality I happen to invade will have to approve my business model. Location will be the key for success. I prefer to stay just off of a major highway for ease of access.

Tentative plans include 2 lift bays, 1 open bay and 1 dyno bay. There will be a small fab area, a small show room, and office space of course.

I need company name ideas....shoot me some ideas.

My potential name will be "On Point Performance". I figured I could keep my military backing as part of the company name. Ha...and after all everyone loves OPP...lol
