southwest (phoenix) LET custom dyno tune interest

how many people would be interested in a custom or even a flash tune from let? they're willing to come to the phoenix area and if you're interested in their custom tune, i've been able to secure a dyno dynamics machine for the tuning session. if you just need a flash tune they'll be here so you have zero down time by having to send in your ecu.

the date is still optional but we need to know how much interest there is.

Interested.

Serious question...How much could I really expect to gain from my existing VR550 tune? I don't wanna pay $800 or whatever and get 10 more hp?

it's hard to say without knowing the details but i agree 10 peak hp isn't worth it. however, if you get 10 hp throughout the curve, it might be worth even more than $800. i don't know the details so let will have to correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure they offer money back guarantee if you're not satisfied.

hey alex,
can't beat their price. it's $800 for custom tuning plus the shop's dyno time (estimating $150 for that).

Mikey won't be happy until he runs in -1500 DA and sees what that tune does.

i'm VERY happy with kleemann's tune. obviously it's a great tune to allow my car to run the numbers it has but i know there's a little room for improvement...and i'd love to see what a CUSTOM tune can do with my performance.

A dyno tune will almost always make more power than a generic tune. And if Mikey wants to run in -DA he knows where to come

Mikey may not even need -1500 ft of DA..... if he could just run at zero ft DA, his car would come close to high 10s or very low 11s

i would love to run in negative da...hell, i'd settle for zero! since that's not going to happen and it's cheaper for me to get a custom tune, i'm going to try to set this up.

If those are the dates you are shooting for.. You will all be treated to a C55 getting an AMG SC slapped on it when you are there.

I'm pretty happy with my tune from InMotion. The top 3 fastest SRT6 on dragtimes are all tuned by InMotion. LET is coming on strong though.

NICE!! Is LET doing the tuning for that, too? I hope you are getting more than just a day at the dyno for that, no? Nice project....

Say Mike, where is this going to take place?

I'm curious as I've had my car dyno'ed on two different machines here locally.
