As of now, being we have less than 7 participants, the price will be either $1000 or $1200.
If we can get 7 or more people to show the price drops to either $980 to $1160.
It all depends on how much time your car spends on the dyno and how many people show up, but this is pretty much what your looking at.


BTW, I've updated the list as it seems we now have 5 participants:

1)prodigymb
2)sleeper01
3)Tech-Tune
4)S5LorinzerF1
5)MachC5

Hey guys,

I was one of the 13 cars that got done in FL, and i brought a couple of my friends to get there 55s done that had previous tunes from other companies. All i can say is the dyno speaks for itself along with the test drive after. The car with a tune from another vender put down X amount and then they flashed in there tune dynoed the car again 10 minutes later with LET's tune & picked up 40 rwhp! I liked Jerry and Wayne so much and thought they were such stand up guys that i bought one of there tuning kits. I will now be flashing the cars for them here in S. Florida. Give them a try you will not be mad with the results!

Justin

I'd be up for the LET tune but don't think I can make it to NJ that weekend. If DC or Balt is possible I am definitely game.

Can a 600 get in on the love? I already have an ECU/TCU tune which makes me some decent power but for some reason my car does not go down the track very well with the flashes. I've been told you guys should be able to pull another 20whp easy out of the car. Plus I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied with my TCU tune (read: it was tuned and I lost 4-5mph at the track FROM STOCK upon install) I'm in for the 21st preferably.

08 CL600 Tune

Jerry,

I am in NJ near the Dyno and I have an 08 CL 600 with a RennTech ecu tune. Is there anything you can do to improve on this setup?

Can you tune the TCU at all?

I ask that the remaining participants on the above list confirm their attendance, and urge those interested to please make their decision soon.
I would like to confirm the dyno date and give enough time for travel accomidations to LET for the February 21st.

Also, I urge all non 55K/32K owners to contact LET direct and ask them if they can tune your specific vehicle.
I'd like to respond to everyone's inquiry's, but preffer that you confirm with Wayne or Jerry in regards to your individual tuning questions.

If you visit our dealer page, there is a number for Torey Russo @ Excessive Motorsport in VA. I can send him a flash kit and he can do it locally to avoid downtime.

Who tuned your ECU / TCU? If you don't want to mention it here, please PM it to me.

LET has been asked this question for months and until our track season comes up, we will not have those answers for you. All of our tunes are tested and proved before they are sold. I can name a few guys off the top of my head who have wanted our TT software, which I'm not ready to advertise or sell. The software isn't a joke and jumping the gun before we have hard data, dynos, track results, etc...would be devastating. If I told you I knew our tune would drop .5 seconds off your 1/4 mile time, it would be a lie at this point. I hope you understand.

We are looking for beta testers of the software. Huge discounts and the ability to see your car transform are the benefits of being software testers. However, many guys don't want to do that and this is why the development process takes so much time.

LET can't afford a TT shop car, nor do we know anyone locally that wants to join the shop car program.

We can do the tuning and we have the industries top consultants / professionals working with us on the TT project.

We are nearing the end and the software will be ready soon. Stay tuned.....no pun intended.

Allow me to clarify:
1320 Performance moved out of their Linden location about 1.5 months ago.
They are now located at 110 South Avenue, Garwood, NJ 07027.
Sorry if I've confused anybody.

Got an official update for everyone

I've been PM-ing most of you in regards to moving the tuning date to the 28th (and would also like to thank you all for your prompt responses).
I just wanted to bring you all up to par:

I spoke with LET and 1320 today and have confirmed the new tuning date.
We will be tuning on February 28th between the hours of 9AM to 5PM at the Garwood location.

For all our southern members willing to tune at a more convenient location, please contact BlackBenzz. He is willing to assist you in organizing a secondary meet for the 29th in a location better suited for you all.



1320 members: This is the solid boys..., prepare yourselves for faster rides.

Definately interested, but is it worth just getting a tune on my car without pulley? All i have are Renntech mufflers, and full 3" piping.. LET, what would my gains be with the ECU Tune only?

Regards'
Walter

yeah from what i gather it will be worth it for stock cars too. there is a decent amount of power to be had by just tuning timing even on stock boost, they will get rid of the speed governor. and if i were you i would ask them to put a tune that will acommodate the addition of a pulley in the future.
