It is about how far it is. It is about the neglect . We have an asston of Evo's up here.

Easy for you to drive 3 hrs means they get a handful willing to make the drive. Actually coming here means more will most likely partake.

I don't think that you're taking into account that we have several shops already here in town that tune evos... EvoDynamics, COBB, Alamo, and several NTEC members who know how to tune, Laramie, AndrewZ, Krisiun, etc.

I will agree that there is MANY id the DFW area, guys from my area, about 3.5 hours away make the drive just to go to these shops cause of their reputation. The tunes that come out of these shops are some of the best in TX.

Thats quite a comment for someone that cant even get 5 guys that want a tune from that person. I am not doubting your tuning abilities but it has been more than 4 months and still cant get 5 people.

Theses shops and "know how to tune" guys do that many in 1 day.

it's difficult to do tuning trips because not everyone has their money ready at the same time and have the same schedule as each other and myself. Many trips fizzle out but this one is going to happen.

It should tell you something when people would rather wait and pay a little extra to fly me to them rather than to go with their local guys who know how to tune.

I sure don't see any texas guys who know how to tune coming to tennessee to do any tuning work but I've had several customers drive from Texas to me to be tuned.

That goes with anyone the not having enough money or time, dont setup a "fly in a tuner" date and then not go through with it.

What do you mean the whole 4 and one that was bought form someone else from years ago at a cheaper rate? If the guys arent going out of state or flying someone in its cause the tuner knows what he is doing and they rae happy with the tune.

Like I said they arent going to TN cause the guys here are some great tuners. I know if I had a good tuner in my area why would I go on a journey to another guy that says he is the best in his area and gets flown around all the time.

I guess you would say the same comment to Cblack cause he travels the whole world tuning cars.

if there's going to be a change everyone would need to agree, I'm fairly flexible but do have plans July 24th (MWE annual bday bash in Kansas) and August 14th (Buschur Shootout Ohio) weekends
