Houston TX tuning trip

Al,

We have 5 people for the Houston trip, I think a local friend with a VIII also wants to get in on it so that would be 6. Do we still have the first weekend in Feb? Some people are wanting to know if it will be road or dyno. I'm hoping for both but really just want to get a good tune on my car.

1. DubIX (EvoIX)
2. Mr. Evo IX (EvoIX) ($deposit$)
3. Fire-Ballz (EvoIX)
4. EvoBig16G (EvoVIII)
5. 05REDEVO (EvoVIII)
6. BMTEVO8 (EvoVIII)
7. shivaswrath (EvoVIII
8. use2vtec

What do we need to do as far as deposits?

I called in my visa for a mail in (December) and want to use that towards my custom tune.

PS Nice article in Turbo magazine!

We are hoping to have the first weekend in February. I think Al is on a trip right now, hopefully he'll post up when he gets back. I'll add you to the list.

holy crap, this is going to be nice. . .how much is this for the local Houston group? I'd be interested, since my VIII is capped off at 238 and I'd LIKE to get rid of the boost taper. . .ARGH!

This price was from an earlier PM but I think it's still the same. Evo VIII custom tune - $375.

Dont quote me on that though cause Al sets his own prices but that's probably accurate. Let me know if I can add you to the list!!

Dude-
I'm totally in Mr. Evo IX. . .I've been going back in forth on essentially voiding my warranty (hahaha), and I've decided that I just need a little more UMPH!!!
I think we should do it at Engine Logics. . .Chris was AWESOME at the last Dyno Day we had in Houston, and I'm sure they'd do it for sure. . .
Al-Call Chris up, he gave us great rates last Dyno Day, like $50 for 2 runs. . .
So we send a check for $375 to Al or do we pay that day? HOw's it work? Paypal?

Added to the list. That's 7 folks .. and I bet a few more will fall out of the woodwork when we get a firm date and location. If you send Al a deposit PM me so I can put it on the list.

Well, I'm not sure how this works, so how much of a deposit do we need to send to Al and do we get a better price since more people are locked in?

Woot woot, bye bye boost taper!!!

I'm thinking Enginelogics prolly won't work, so if it's in Houston, we're left with I think that other shop that starts with an 'S' that has an awd dyno. . .
