You tuned my first engine near perfect for what it was. This one seems to be, behaving the same so far, but you are early in my tune. I think this street port template is rather safe, and I bet there is still more room. Are you waiting for me to put down a better data log?

I wish I could go, I just currently don't have the financial capacity to afford it. With my recent exhaust purchase as well as less hours at work...Money is a little tight right now.

I'm still committed, but I cannot talk for the others. I am securing Dec 4th with a 50% deposit this weekend. If we fail at this, then we all suck for sure. LOL

We have time for more to join still!!!

So that is at least 4 of us. I say let's just roll with this and if anyone else joins then we can adjust the price. We have 2 FI tunes and 2 NAs so that is 6 slots. Is that enough for MM to commit?

OK - looks like this is it. I need to make the deposits to secure Surgeline and MazdaManiac.

Are we ready? PM me with questions if you have them.

Well, any more people? I guess not. I need to make the deposits to secure this, that means we need to pool $900 together.

How do you want us to get you the money? We all call Surgeline and pay them?

PM's going out when I get home. Just talked to Surgeline and Jeff today. We need to confirm tonight. Looks like only (4) cars. So, I need to the cash to reserve the day, and so that Jeff can get a good flight rate.

I will take personal checks, but if you want to use PayPal, I think I can help absorb the 3% the charge...

Thanks master dondo

X Rx8 are you still in?

I will let Jeff know this is a go. And, I can reserve the Surgeline dyno myself today, and we can settle later.

Houston, we have liftoff!
