what is his email? i am sure with his vast knowledge of not only rotary engines he can do DSM's too, right? i am sure i can get 4 or 5 (maybe more) of them localy too. i think i may just set up a seperate South jersey day at another time if you cant do it this time.

i also don't have a separate bung for the wideband sensor...can we just put that in place of the stock o2 sensor during tuning?

yeah see if a second day can be added for the southern guys. maybe if some MD, PA, DE guys want to come, it will cut about 2 HRS off of their trip. if a south jersey/central jersey day can not be done, you can count out my 5-8 cars i would contribute to geting enough people.... hell we have enough people as it is and will just set up another time. we have a shop w/ lifts and tools, a track 10 minutes away and a dyno in a barn close by we can schedule time on also. i *think* we have everything required right here.
I'll let you know since there might be a lot already for northern NJ... another tuning session can be sceduled for you guys south of us... Steve is very willing to do so, but again, I'll keep you updated....

Yes, Steve can tune any car running an aftermarket ECU but you have to consult with him on the details... call Gotham Racing to see what he can do...

I talk to Steve awhile ago about comming down to tune some cars after I saw how good mine ran with his tuning. Then Jehan called me the other day asking about this so I figured I'd set it up.



Toy, you can temporarily take out the stock 02 sensor for the tuning. It is only used under cruising conditions for fuel economy anyway.

It's definately a good idea to do a baseline benchmark. I used my Vericom computer.



www.vericom.org



I turned 113mph in 1/4 before tuning and 117mph with 200 lbs more weight in the car after tuning at low boost setting(15psi).



Turned out to be 20+% more power.



I think once your well organized event is completed and the results are posted many other areas of the country will want to do something like this.



I'm pleased I was able to get the ball rolling with my post on the big forum.



Ken
