Anyway, let me know if there is enough interest and we can see about putting together a meet/tuning day.

well i originally was supposed to get the first street tuner software but i decided against it because there is no awd dyno here. vakamon won't be able to do much for us as there isn't enough space available in that area to tune. i'd be interested in seeing the results regardless

If you could find out a price and time frame, I may be willing to do it and just get my upgrades and tuning done. Thats if there is enough time for me to hoard the cash.

I like the idea of bringing him out for tuning but I also like this idea that is starting to take shape.

We would like to see between 20-25 cars to make this feasible. I am trying to keep the fee as close to $250 as possible. I really don't want to go above that for you guys.

If we can start getting a list of who is interested, and what engine management they are using, we can start to get an idea of how soon we can put together a schedule to make this tunig session happen!

Do you frequent Vakamon Tuning at all? I am wondering if the facility is large enough for a Subaru meet of this size.

Talk to you soon.

Shagg...

I may be interested...

Brent Sugita / Island Style
Cobb AP Stg2
04 STI / 2.5l

Need to know the cost...

I was under the impression that a shop or sponsor such as Cobb could tune your car using the Protune software and we could just import the new "customized" map into our AP's...

I don't think we need to buy the software unless we wanted to "tune" it ourselves...is this right or wrong?
