Yeah but they tune w/ AP and are damn near at sea level. Chandler is like 1500' AGL and has vegas-like temps and Phuong is used to "our" type of weather. Plus I will have Tephra!!!!!!!!!!

cobb will tune with a tactrix and ecuflash. esp socal, since it used to be hbspeed. i wonder how much the elevation difference will affect tuning. are you saying lower elevation tunes will run richer?

I'm not exactly sure what would happen to the AFR's but I know the quality of air at sea level is better. I'd hate to lean out the stock tune/raise boost and make the hike up 2300' to vegas and have worser air quality and blistering temps in the summer. This is just my opinion for "my car". Plenty of people have gone to lower elevations for tunes and live in much higher elevations. With my limited knowledge I'm sure there has to be some "long term" gremlins that will eventually show up, unless people are logging and sending back the logs to the tuner for a reflash more consistent with vegas altitude/heat.

Want us all to be there before 11am. Not totally sure on order yet since I have a few injector and fuel pump install before they hit the dyno. So I am asuming our 100oct and retune will be 1st up while I get injectors and pump into the other 2 cars.
I'm first! Haha. So nervous though. Ugh..

Looks like I won't be upgrading any time soon..

Worst news all day.. I get home from doing stuff and realize a box is missing from the garage. I ask Grandpa (I take care of him) where he put the box. He says he threw it away. 2700 Dollars worth of car parts out the door. I can't even think straight I'm so upset.

Seriously.. I feel defeated right now. Like I was robbed... by my grandpa. I had 3 cores in there, which I'm not so mad about.. those totaled like 450 bucks.

I'm more upset about the turbo, which was chillin in there ready to go out to FP for upgrade. Now, it'll cost me 1700 dollars for a new HTA.
