thats like a road race stance, im sure they will provide a nice contact patch. I know on my car a 35 series would be pretty uncomfortable ride around town.

We still want to have a monthly bbq up here. I'm just trying to figure out what would be the best night to have it on. There are so many other meets, mayhem, test + tune, etc....that we don't want to conflict with anything else. I'm definitely open to suggestions.

Dynojet. Assuming you have the access port already, $450 for tune and dyno.

All rates assume vehicle is in perfect running condition, with a full tank of fuel, fluids at proper levels, new spark plugs, etc.... and simply needs to be tuned, not worked on or maintained.

We can tune Pectel, Motec, HKS Fcon, AEM, Haltech, etc......There isn't really any stand alone Mikey cannot tune with proficiency. He was also the first Pectel certified tuner in the nation.

We are not the cheapest, but certainly not the most expensive either, and frankly you get what you pay for. Why spend all the money we do on performance and then compromise on the power, reliability, or driveability of the car? Also I'd say our prices compare favorably with any of the top level tuners out there, and certainly we are open to group discounts of 5 or more.

Yes, absolutely Mikey can reflash stock ECU's.

Remember that when you need to tune anything. Anything with a turbo and you aren't going to find ANYONE who makes more power more reliably than Mikey. He obviously tunes all our customer cars, Lamborghinis, Evos, Supras, GTR's, NSX, Turbo Mustangs, Grand Nationals, etc.....many of which own records for power on particular set ups. 1000+whp on a 100% bone stock Supra 2JZGTE, 1700awhp E-Gear Gallardo, 1307rwhp on a single 80mm Supra, 791ft/lbs of torque on a 2.2L Evo on a 62mm, etc....etc.....

Feels awesome on a roll....From a dig....not so much. See the new Modified mag for the results on launching almost 800 ft/lbs on MT Drag Radials.
I will say that the R1 bike didnt stand a chance on the highway.

I have a couple too . Was in the LP570-4 all day today. I wonder what it would feel like with two snails next to that v10....

I would say not. 700+whp should pull on liter bikes pretty well. Cant wait to see what that beast does on the bottle.
Is it fixed btw? I was going to stop by and see but I had to run down to Henderson and didnt have time.

I daily the car so I can't afford to be buying new tires every six months!

When I had sponsorship with BFG those tires lasted more than a year and still had plenty of tread left. If I get sponsorship with them again maybe I'll pick up some R1 tires!

my theory is, if you drive an evo or any sports car and want the most out of it you better have good tires. Thats the only thing touching the ground. Its the price to pay for having a sports car...
