steve visited wisconsin last summer and i not only enjoyed meeting him but was impressed with the fact that he was really interested in each car he tuned rather than just going thru the motions for a paycheck. i had done some minor tuning on dick lambert's rx6 and it was in the ballpark afr's-wise but wasn't really a rip your head off runner that it currently is after steve got thru tuning it. dick just acquired a newly built 95 20-b that is wickedly fast and it will really be something to drive after steve tunes it this spring.

Well, after a mild street port engine build / T-60 single turbo conversion both done by David Bigger of Orlando and yesterday's Steve Kan New Orleans tuning session car pulls like a ****.



Steve tuned the car to 16.7 psi and on the ride back ran up against my bro's '03 996 TT X50 and we were dead even from 3rd gear 60 mph to 120 mph ! Now that's what I call a good engine build and Excellent tuning !



Steve's New Orleans tuning session was without a doubt a huge success. He came down and tuned 6 cars and provided every one of us with nothing but top notch service. He answered any questions we had and walked us through every step of his tuning. Roads that were scoped out by our Houma guys (Mark White) were absolutely PERFECT ! Nothing but clear roads that stretched for at least 4 miles each way. Steve's tuning was absolutely $$ well spent.

Tuning session was great. I was amazed to see the multiple setups on the cars that showed up. One thing about tuning your car to the optimum is you will find out if your set up is made to handle it. There were a couple of cars that when the tuning was on and you’re doing flat out 4th gear runs.... weakness will show.

Steve was extremely personable and still got the guys setup for the maxximum real street/strip performance. Unfortunately I will have to drive to Ft.Worth to get tuned because my car wasn’t ready but it will still be worth it. (Plus Steve and I have a lot of road race friends in his area that I can kill time with)



Thanks to Ted Alvendia (President ,7's On the Shore)of New Orleans and the organizer of this. A++++++++++++
