Thanks! Maybe I'll do a mail-in until then.

 

Al, when will you be back in Dallas, FW area? Kingpin Performance just opened up there with a new AWD Dyno.

 

A dyno is not needed nor preferred, so that doesn't really matter.

I need everyone to read and understand. Al doesn't just have random plans to return to cities. If you don't see it in this list, it is not planned. He plans trips when people from certain areas REQUEST his presence and send in the 5 requisite deposits. If you want him in Dallas, then drum up some interest and get those deposits in - he will gladly come as soon as he's available.

 

Cool, thanks! I was just curious cus I'm in the military and was TDY the last time he came down here.

 

I really, really, really need my car tuned. I have asked Al why he suggested that I do a custom tune but he never responded nor did he respond on when he is coming to Atlanta. He just told me he will be here. I have to get my car tuned so I would LOVE to know a date or at a minimum a ball park range. If not, I will just have to pay more and go to Topspeed or Batlground...

 

I'm in for a Custom tune in Dallas. Although I live in Oklahoma City area, I'll gladly be there for the tune. Al gave my IX RS a base tune at Buschur's at the same time they added MOST of stages 1-4. Now, i've ported the exhaust side of the stock turbo, added meth injection need to raise boost and tune for the meth. Al, I left you a message today on the phone, so just a reply here is fine. Hope to see you in Dallas soon. (name 9sec9 is a joke, for now.)

 

Yeah...I'm in it for a custom tune for anywhere near central Texas (San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Austin etc.)...Let's get some interest going for an event in Texas.

If not, then I will just have to get the mail in tune...

 

I am going to make a post now about Texas

 

Al,
I see there is some interest in a South Florida tuning day, my question is there any AWD dynos you have available to tune with in Florida? I thought moving to Miami was all positive from Connecticut except that i cant call you again and meet you at Pruven for a dyno tune 30 min away! Well let me know i will set it up if you need 5 people but i do want a DYNO custom tune.

 

He doesn't do dyno tunes on tuning trips unless it's a special situation. He goes to FL quite often, but it never includes a dyno, so keep that in mind.

 

Thats to bad cause he did a great job on my last dyno tune. But i will only tune with A/F and dyno graphs to prove how my car is running so if he does do a dyno tune day here or is willing i can get 5 cars.

Justin

 

Any chance for a Vegas trip?

 

Vegas is always a chance - round up 5 guys and he will come.

That's too bad that you require dyno graphs in order to get tuned - what you see on the dyno is not what you see on the road, so that is a little bit foolish, though not unlike what most people think is required for a good tune (unfortunately). You get AFRs with his road tuning, so that's no issue - don't need a dyno for that. In fact, AFRs are different on the dyno due to the different load and lack of airflow characteristics from not actually moving. A fan (or fans) don't come close to mimicking the real world, nor do you drive with your hood open (like on the dyno). Regardless, he will tune on a dyno if his presence is requested by 5 people who pay their deposits and who set up a dyno for the tuning session.

 

Hey i have a custom tune from all and recently i put some new stuff on my car and i met a guy who wanted to tune my car but my maps are locked. Why Al is locking maps, i don't want to wait till his next visit and i'm not able to send my ecu to him because i'm using my car everyday. Is there any way to get into my ecu map to retune it?

 

Why doesn't your new "tuner" make up his own tuning map instead of trying to copy mine ? (Just curious)

PS - did you ever hear of PM or email or a phone call - this topic hardly fits in this thread eh ?
