as long as your rev match it's okay. if you don't, you are going to put more wear on your synchros which is a bad idea in my book.

Yep I'm rev matching now.. but it took me a while to learn in the beginning.. my synchro's are still good though. I'll probably have to take a look at it more closely when I do my next clutch job.

paul that price isnt bad after you get all your mods on. Plus it will be almost like a 1 time investment. I would talk to vegas and see if you guys can go down together to get a better price though.

yea no problem man, I know he's talking with ams so it's just going to be decision time for me. the price is definitely reasonable considering it includes dyno time and the quality of his tunes. I know anj and I are planning on going down and maybe we could coerce tim to come as well!

I know Paul S, and anja (i think) are in need as well. So, before I add my name, I want to get myself squared away with that first. I don't want to pay for 3 pulls, or 1 hour, if my car is not ready. I will join the festivities and hang out. If my car is, or will be ready for it, I will hit you up and see if there is room left in the day to do so.
Sounds good Tim (it is Tim right??).

What I am thinking we could do is try and get people street tuned somewhat before, and then use the 3 pulls to give you some additional info on your tune (or use the hour and make some real progress). Just as an example, after I got my GSX all together, I went up to F1 in ME for a DD. In one hour I went from a baseline of about 200 whp, to over 300 whp. From there, street and track tuning got me where I wanted to be. But we all still have some time, so there is no rush yet.

Okay Paul, I will list what will be in the car prior to the tune. As for as an overnight trip...I will have to fine point the date. My crazy schedule isn't very co-operative.

list will be in your pm box

As for the meet tomorrow, what exactly are we doing? Should we just hang out at my place?

Ideas?

We do have to celebrate a certain someone's birthday at some point!! Maybe we can do that Wednesday?
