AccessPORT Customers:
On the day of the event, have your AccessPORT out and accessible with the dongle and cable.
You will first drive on the street with me in the passenger seat for about 10 minutes and then we will return to the dyno facility.
Depending on how things are flowing and how good/bad the existing tune is for your car, you will get 2 to 5 pulls. Turbo cars will probably need more.
As Highway8 mentioned, the tune/no-tune people will be staggered, so I may drive with more than one customer between tuning session to try to get that knocked out.
If you have any data - graphs, prints, pictures, video, etc, bring it with you to give me a head start.

I just got my AP today and was installing it before the UPS guy was even to the end of the street.
The map MM states to install first has the STFT at 0 and the AFR's seem to be in target as well. This is truly the easiest to install power adder for the 8... plug in, push a few buttons, monitor some parameters.. voila!

Just want to say thank you to MM for putting so much time and effort into such a great product! I'll be hanging around the dyno all day (my GF has to work saturday) so let me know if you want me to bring anything for you MM... drinks, cigs, snacks, etc. It's the least I can do for someone who's given us so much.

Well, since you aren't doing an AccessPORT tune, I won't be able to spend any time on your car.
However, I'm sure you can get some help from the crowd!

Just to be clear, these are the participants that are having their cars tuned:

AccessPORT
-
1) c41250n
2) laythor
3) N rider89
4) Highway8
5) lazyboyw

Non-AccessPORT -
1) 6dmnbg: INT-X
2) trancesimulator: e-Manage

People on the first list should bring $185, minus their deposit.
People on the second list should bring $240, minus their deposit.

The dyno facility is here:

MAP

I'll see everyone bright and early on Saturday!

Fortunately, I got my first-class upgrades on these flights, so I get to avoid most of that nonsense.
I do carry some strange-looking stuff in my carry-on:
WBO2S, mini-laptop, digital VOM/scope, compression check machine, etc.
The WBO2S clamp is particularly troublesome because it looks exactly like a pistol on the X-ray.

We lost one dyno only and I think we are at 7 for the dyno/tune so if you want to get dyno test or dyno tunned then you are very welcome to join us.


As far as the BBQ comment. I have some hamburgers, if someone volunteers to bring the buns and condiments then we have a bbq. We also have the option of throwing in $5 each and going to the store.

If you are interested int he BBQ the put down you name next to what you will bring or if you dont want to BBQ then put down you name in not interested section. or if you just want to pich in more money then that is okay also. I know this got started late but lets see if we can fill the list with everyones name.

BBQ: Meat: Hamburgers (taken) hot dogs and links.
1: Highway8 (10 1/4lb hamburgers)
2: Laythor Pizza
3:

BBQ: Buns for hamburgers and hot dogs and Condiments.
1:
2:

BBQ: Plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons and napkins.
1:

BBQ: Side Dishes

2:
3:

BBQ: Drinks, do I have to say no alcohol.

Not bring anything but bringing $5
