I would be down for it...but he can't do a group Tune in a day can he ??? I would think he would set up separate appointments for each car....then he can take his time....I don't want any rushed group tune. Plus I will need to wait until I get my pumkin in with new gears.

So if he's opening a shop then I'll come by and talk to him about it later.

Yeah he will spend a minimum of 2 hours on each car. It will be setup over a weekend but if you can't make it that weekend, you can come in later as long as you were on the original list

Win! That's pretty sweet man. Leave it to Jake to make me want yet another thing for my Z lol. Hey isn't it technically illegal to remove a factory safety device i.e. The airbag in the steering wheel?

Sure thing Scott....I think Jake, me & Pat will be helping out.

Chris, if you do the LSD Monday I'd love to help out or at least stop by. I'm off that day and I'm trying to make that a day of leisure. I've only driven my Z twice in the last 3 months so I need an excuse to go somewhere in it.
