Yeah. You and everyone else with stage 2. The thing is is that it is safe, so you don't really have anything to worry about. Don't worry, we will get you tuned eventually, its just so bloody time consuming.

Talking Tuning!!!



So, for all of you guys who want tuning in the coming months, I am going to open a new thread to shed some light on the process we are going to have to follow, and what i will need from everybody.

Keep an eye out for this thread, and let anyone who wants tuning but doesn't check here very often know to have a look in it.

I will be watching.

I booked my car into Davenport for a couple of baseline runs on the dyno for April 8th. They need me there by 8am so that they can run the car right away. They only do dyno runs early in the morning. I am REALLY curious as to what the car is running. I will of course keep everyone posted.

Why stay away from Davenport? The only thing I am getting done is some baseline runs to see where I stand HP wise. They are NOT doing any tuning whatsoever.

Yeah. I just figure there are other places in Calgary more deserving of our money. Every time I've called there, I've gotten the worst attitude I've ever seen anywhere.

They seemed pretty good to me. Where would you recommend for some baseline runs?

Yeouch. That should tell you right there how good they are. If Davenport can get you in earlier, you may have to go with them. It didn't occur to me that they would be so busy.

Well talking with Tecmotion I am going to stick with them. He seemed really cool and more of a "car" guy.

Yeah. You see what I mean now?

That just sucks, cuz you wanted a baseline dyno before the tune. Thats quite a ways...

Yeah. I don't know how much of a surprise a dyno would be for you now. If your just base stage 2, you will be dynoing around the same as everyone else with it.

Although it would be nice to see one car before and after my tuning...
