seems silly to let the car sit when all you have to do it take off the cog belt so the blower doesnt spin...

anyhow, what wrong with your tune?

Jotech refuses to tune UTECs. George @ Gotham Racing can do it. Chris Macellaro can do it as well.

its actually very easy to set the AF. You already have a base tune. do some short 3rd gear pulls and log the AF. The go back and make the adjustments to the cells that are too lean or rich. I wouldnt mess with the timing unless you have a dyno to see actual # gains.

I spent yesterday adjusting my tune for the colder weather and it was pretty simple.

I would suggest just talking to Jotech to see if they would do it. They tuned Tony's Z there if I'm not mistaken.

Is Tony using UTEC? I've talked to Tony a few times and they refuse to tune UTEC's. They're all about HKS Vpro and Fcon though, since they're dealers.

stewieisslow: call them?
