I doubt I'll be there, even though it would be cool to get some baselines prior to modding or tuning.

I'm interested in seeing your results MR! I don't think it will sway it much either way, but these cars can be finicky.

I plan to go to the dyno day but I'm STILL tuning (love to hear from you other guys on tscomp) and hoping to have it ready by then. Love to get a comparison of real dyno v. virtual dyno It's the 25th - 26th https://www.facebook.com/events/140803419438117/

I've never been tuned before, so I'm not very experienced, but in reading reviews if other people's experiences I'm shocked that your tune isn't complete. Most seem to take a week, and there is one of the better tuners that claims that he can be done in 1 day if you have 4-6 hours to devote.

Update on my exhaust situation. Got it put on. I really like the sound. Drive-ability seems to be better with smoother on/off throttle inputs. Seems to be no effect of boost, it might spike slightly higher but it smooths out just like it always did before. I logged some A/F today using a Innovative LM-1. I recorded WOT in second to 7 grand and then third to 7 grand. A/f ranged from 11.3 to 11.7. So I'm happy.

Awesome to hear broseidon! Makes me feel more at ease if I decide to jump the gun and bolt up the o2, downpipe, and cat back.

Glad it's working out for you! Still going to get it tuned on that dyno you talked about? TSComp just sent me my first rom. Should get started with tuning in a few days!

I'm 25min away from the dragon. Still one of my favorite roads. I do my best to avoid it on weekends, but would like to see some more evos from out of town. Might make it if I'm off work.

The only reason I was gonna tune it is if it was unsafe to run with the exhaust but it seems to better with it so I'm gonna do some maintenance now. My rear upper ball joint/arm needs to be replaced.

I would like to make that Dragon run.

Nice to know your afrs are fine with the upgrade, MR. What exhaust is it? You like it?

I'll be there Apex.

You guys up for a meet? Maybe Friday night or at the Dyno day at Fastech Saturday?

What time is the fastech deal? I think that sounds good, but I could do fri night if that's more convenient for others.
