Farmington is too far for some of us. Specifically ya'll down south. I don't really want to do the track meet again, simply cause we didn't hang out much. What about a meet down in Cruces or somewhere in between or something? Lets crowd some random resturants parking lot with balts lol

I am not a fan of these mail order tunes, I believe one should get a locall tuner and tune exactly to our altitude, both on the street and on a dyno. With that said, I hope these work out for you guys, I wish you cats much success....

LittleMT, Vince is tuning to our altitude. It's one of the reasons I've had his tunner for so long. Basically I tune the car. Run it at WoT in 1st and 2nd gear while the tunner is still hooked into the OBDII port and save the logs. I take those logs and send them to Vince. He changes the programming as needed and sends me an update in my email. I take the update, save it to an SD card, put the SD card into the tuner and the tuner automatically updates itself.
Only issue that has come up is the altitude. My car is the first one he's ever worked on that runs at a high altitude so he's basically writing new codes for me. Just takes a little bit more time is all. And I'm not paying out the ass for a pro shop to do it.
To put it simple... A lot of us simply can't afford a pro shops prices

where do you recommend for a dyno tune, and what the hell happened to you the day of the meet I heard you didn't show, I had to work so I got to the track at closing time, lol
and I'm taking some time off work starting next week and might be driving down next weekend to las cruces, so we can do the meet then, lol, otherwise it'll be hard for me to do it, since it seems like every saturday I'm at work

I still need to get my car to the shop and get it tuned.... Prices out here are really steep for HpTunes! I come from Cali and I would think the price would be cheaper out here. I guess there really isnt that many tuners out here I guess.....
