Group Tune OCT 4TH

I just got lights back on and have access to email it looks like the tune is still on it will be at FWD performance located at 299 Riley-Fuzzell RD Spring, TX 77373 all I have to do is take them a deposit of $150 to reserve the dyno for 6 hours. It will begin around 9am and go throughout most of the day. The price is $250 with a $50 deposit due A.S.A.P. that will go towords the final price of $250. Dyno time is an extra cost and will most likely be about 75-100 per car depending on the amout of time required. Right now I have the following people on the list.

1)wardzach2007
2)contreja2004
3)freddy_bellow
4)mr_buddah
5)kage
6)08blackbolt
7)fuente27hpv Friend
8)jwhitten
9)gottalovetheSS
10)sehoublackss
11) Julio


I have also only recieved deposits from
contreja2004
kage
mr_buddah
08blackbolt
wardzach2007
gottalovetheSS
Julio
Myself

I have a few more spots open if there is anyone else interested. Please let me know A.S.A.P.

My phone number is (832) 928-8458 if you have any question just leave a message and i will call back.

The dyno will be available at an extra charge itwill be $100 an hour and you will only pay for the time you are on it from the time your tires hit the roller to the time they are off. So if you are only on it for 30 min then you will only pay $50 and $100 for an hour if you are on it for the whole hour. The dyno will be extra and is not included in the $250 tune.

if your not going to be in the tune anymore I think we can fit him in, As far as gains does he want a performance tune and what octane? Steve is on the road this week but as soon as I get ahold of him I will let you know. You are still more than welcome to come and hang out anyway if you want.

sounds like a plan, using 93 octane and yeah a performance tune. the guys at a local shop said they tuned a car and got 50 hp out of the car with basic boltons, dont know if it is truw or not. give me a call if you can 832-418-9432. ppl have been acting a fool so i have been on alot of calls and putting alot of ppl in jail.

Yeah I will try to call you sometime tomorrow and yes 50hp sounds about right even with no bolt ons and just a tune. Not sure what the truck will see though i'm guessing around 20-40 but i'm not sure I'm still waiting on Steve to get back with me.

Allright guys I took the deposit in today for the dyno and the people there seem really nice and eager to have us. Steve is asking the lsj's to bring or buy ice before they get there so the cool down time is not so long. I will ask if maybe we can have a bbq or something while we tune, and go from there or maybe afterwords we can migrate to my house and eat there or something. Everything is set, if you plan on using the dyno please let me know so I can get everyone in order and please besure you car is not broken before you get there if we have to fix it while its on the dyno then you will still pay for that time.

Alright here is an update

We are allowed to have a BBQ while the tune is going on, so if you can then bring something if not don't worry about it. I will provide the BBQ pit and the wood for it, some hot dogs, and probably a couple of chickens. I will also bring a couple of icechest one for the ice for the lsj's and another for food and drink. I alson invited the people at the dyno shop to join us as they have been extremely helpful and nice through this whole deal.

So cliffnotes
BBQ yes
bring what you can either food drinks or ice

Counting down to the weekend. Me and my friend are going to have a mini-cruise over there. Hahaha. He is going to bring his GTI along with his camera. I just don't know how long we're going to be out there though. We might have to leave kind of early.

On a side note, I noticed my car is running low on oil. Its around 30% on the gauge. Will this affect the tune?

I am unsure of the oil situation but I see no reason it woule effectthe tune.

Steve and I will get there around 8:30am to set everything up, but we will be starting around 9 I'm sure we can fit you in before noon. Your car chould be easy to tune around 30min total assuming you will not want on the dyno, but if you do then add probably anither 30-45min.
