Any Ft. Riley Evo's?

Just wondering if there is anybody out there. I'll be heading that way sometime in the next week or so.

Thanks

Steve

Damn, you ended up at Riley? I'm sorry... lmao.

Back when I was there from '01-'04 there was a HUGE ricer scene. HUGE. Not sure what's it's turned into now... you should check out the parking lot by Salvation Army in JC at night.

I do not tune... My friend Fathouse (on here) will be doing the tuning

Power mods:
TiTek o2 housing
BR 3" dp
BR 3" catback
GSC S2 cams
GSC valve springs
FP Red
ETS u/l intercooler pipes
TurboXS I/C
TurboXS BOV (recirc)
GSC zero-tick lifters
FP 84mm intake
Walbro 255
PTE 1000cc injectors
Exedy twin disk to hold the power
and a few other little odds and ends
Tune is going to be for E85 around 32psi

on a 91oct tune i'm hoping for around 440'ish whp around 25psi

Sounds healthy. Will you be tuning in Kansas? It'd be nice to know that there are guys that know exactly what they are doing around the area. I'm new to it but am venturing out to learn anyway.

Nope, sorry. The car is back at my parents house in Indianapolis during the deployment and will be tuned there before I get back by my friend. I also want to learn how to tune, I'll mess with very very basic things in ECUFlash but I haven't brought myself to ever try to full out tune yet. If you're needing one, Mellon Racing and Adam Blevin's do great mail order tunes and explain to you what is being changed and why when they send new roms to load.
