Default aem tuning, who is interested...?

brad generally charges 300 to tune a car. wot and partial throttle...for all of the options it may cost a little more.

as far as renting the dyno...i know ron has talked with race related so that is definitely a possibility. i'll call around as well...

a friend of mine, brad brooks, is looking to come down to florida, from virginia...to possibly tune a few cars...and while he's here he could probably tune several more. the time he'll be here is around his winter break...to give everyone a time table.

ron (friend with a turbo civic) and cory thompson (friend with an all motor civic) are both 100% sure they'll have him tune their cars when he's in the area...although he'll be here for 4-5 days so its possible he could tune other cars as well.

as far as tuning...he's made 600+whp on several dsm's and over 700+whp on his own dodge colt. i know there are others in the area who can tune aem although i haven't seen or heard of anyone making the type of power he has made...and using the features aem has.

this includes traction control, varying boost vs mph etc...among other things.

he has also tuned a turbo mustang that made over 800whp, all motor k-series insight making over 300whp...and quite a few other cars...although i've just seen the ones i've mentioned.

I'd never let anyone who is a friend of Chet's near anything of mine. PERIOD.

because you're a tool and they're guilty of idiocy by association.

Welcome to TR. Chet i have told people were to go and it goes in one ear out the other. Like said before i dont care if i have to pay for Brads whole trip myself to tune Corey and my car. These people dont know anything and i'm happy about it. Thats why my car is one of the fastest around and it will stay that way. Let these guys play with part throttle tunning and think they know what they are doing. I myself know hardly nothing when it comes to tunning but i know enough were to get tunning done properly. If someone actually knew what they were doing when it came to imports around here they would make a fortune.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.
