Shiv from Vishnu tuning your car on our dyno?

We/Vishnu are curious if there is any interest in Shiv and Brett coming up to have them tune cars on our Mustang AWD dyno.

They'd be doing Xede's($795) on stock or modified cars. Tuning by Shiv would be extra at $200/hr(they estimate they'd only need about an hour for tuning a modified car).

We would need 10 people for them to come up. WRX's are welcome too.

Please let us know if there is any interest.

TIA,
Jeremy

Makes we wish I had the thousand bucks to get my car tuned. I'm sure you will find SOMEONE in the NW that wants their Lancer/Evo tuned.

Good offer!

Damn, that sounds super sweet, but the price! I doubt there's anyone in the area, Lancer-wise that has mods worthy of dyno tuning at that price.

Jason,

You can only tune the XEDE if you buy the software to tune it.

The MAN Shiv will be up here himself to tune your exact car. If you already have the XEDE, then the maps are very similar.

HTH,
Jermy

Isnt $1000 a bit too much just for tuning a car?

My XEDE should be in this week I had them pre-load the Evo stage 0, 92 octane map and a blank (factory default) map. As I understand, I can download future updates from their websites. I'll do a write-up and review once it's installed and have some time to test it on my "butt dyno"...

Jeremy, I am in. What kind of gains could we expect from a totally stock Evo? Have you guys dyno'd any Evo's yet, if so, what sort of baseline? I drive through your area (well close, through the first and Arthur area right past ADP (worked there for a few years)) every day on my way to work. I would be honored to have a Vishnu tuned Evo.

BigD,

Sweet.
You are #6---we have 5 WRX's and 1 EVO now.

I will check with Vishnu to see if they have released any numbers on the gains from the XEDE. I don't see any updates on the site.

We have two local customers who have talked to us about dynoing but they haven't come by yet. I'm anxious to see the numbers on our dyne though.

You're welcome to stop by the shop anytime.

TTYS,
Jeremy

Hey Jeremy, whereabouts are you guys located? We're having a big club meet toward the end of May and maybe we can check out your shop.
