Hey man, I went through this last year trying to setup something similar. Realistically, I don't think Jestr can tune any more than let's say 9 cars in a day. So that's already $100 bucks a person just for dyno time. Jestr does base tunes for $200 and custom tunes for $350. So you're looking at $450 at least a person for a custom tune. And more than likely, you're not going to have 9 people involved, so it will increase your dyno $ per person. More like $500 a person. Is it worth it???

i understand that there is a lot of working involved in doing a custom tune, but $350 bucks seems disproportionately steep.

most lawyers don't make that much for similar time investments.

Well I picked up the one from South Park Mitsu today. They came down to book price, which I was willing to pay for an unmolested GSX. Like it so far, but already want to go wild with a build...

Yeah it's in really good shape...has an intake and some sort of blowoff valve, boost gauge, and A/f guage and some Enkei wheels - other than that it's stock with 95K miles. Really pretty clean car. A few paint scrapes here and there, but nothing I'm ashamed of Yeah, it's a 5 speed.

Not sure who owned it before - forgot to ask, but I HIGHLY doubt it was a young kid because I would expect more mods. Too much is stock and it's just too clean.

Handles very well, could probably use some new bushings here and there to tighten things back up, but I would take this 10 year old car to handle over any new Ford or Chevy LOL!

I am very happy to be back and to be looking for mods! V8 world sucks!! Although watching the wife follow me home in the Jeep and seeing that thing in the rear view is intimidating HAHA.
