Those days work for me.

Columbian8, we can stop by and pick you up if you're on the way to NYC, I am thinking driving my car would be a worthwhile gig, maybe throw mine on the dyno too...

I should be "OK" in the 2nd half of August.

As for the "cost",

- I guess we need to wait for everybody to "agreed" to date
- then I'll start looking at the hotel, find one @ a reasonable cost, get back to everyone,
- pay up, make a money pool out of it, Either give Kane all the money, or Pay 500 to him first, then minus some as expenses (hotel, Kane's food, etc), whatever left will be returned to everybody.

So someone have to be the "money collector"

I don't mind to be that guy, if u guys "trust" me. no hard feelings here, anybody would work. just wanna get this going. Don't want to hold Kane for too long.

I'll officially be in upstate NY in early July, so I'm either willing to contribute more to have my car serve as a tuning vehicle, otherwise I will locate a dyno shop and hire you solo just because it will take me longer to do it myself and I don't have the luxury of time on my side ....

Well the tuning process is for educational purposes as part of the training, so I'd hate to see you have to pay extra to bring me back there. I think one way or the other well get it done. Even if I have to stay en extra day, but I think most folks would be cool with your car being one of the demo cars. I'd like to do one NA and one FI.

Hence my preference for us to do something solo together.

where in NY is best for everyone or PA?

I dont mind the drive but if im driving 5 hours to learn how to tune my car, id want a piece of dyno time.

Kane,

What format is your tuning lessons? Is it just slideshows and what have you...or is it a mix of handson on the dyno? One day, two days (one day NA, seconds day FI).

Lets get this started so that Kane can get his flight since prices for flights are only going to go up.

I can collect all the money and send it over to Kane.

but now I just need to know who is really, REALLY committed to this.

This is the only way we will know how much we need to chip in.

The training is a combo of classroom instruction and hands on.

We go over all the tuning stuffs to ensure everyone is on the same page, then we street and dyno tune some cars.

In total, we would need two days to do it right, but we could squish it into one really long day, like 9 am to 6 pm or so assuming the dyno operator will cooperate.
