Bay Area gathering!

Just a heads up that Jeremy will be coming to the Bay Area soon to retune my car and this would be a great opportunity to finally see what this man could do. For obvious reasons I can’t say too much here on MBW due to their guidelines. I just wanted everyone to know that he’ll be tuning my car sometime next month and if anyone is interested in either stopping by or getting tuned feel free to contact me.

It will most likely be on a weekday, preferably on Wednesday or Thursday. Afterwards I would love to invite Jeremy to Sacramento Raceway for a Test-n-Tune night and have some real fun. If anyone is interested in this gathering “meet” let me know.

I'll also be posting this up on various sites and expand the invitation.

Long time no see, Alan. Please say its not this weekend. I'll be in LA but with no time to visit Jeremy's shop. Count me in if it's in the Bay area after this weekend.

Kou, what's up buddy! How's the car running? Hopefully the beast is running strong as always.

It definitely won't be this weekend. I was thinking of having this gathering towards end of the month or early next month. This will give you plenty of time to add a few more goodies!

I have no idea about pricing as I'm only trying to gather some MB's together and have a meet, it just so happens it will take place somewhere with a dyno and Jeremy . I'll hit you up with some contact info.

So far there's seems to be quite a bit interest. So far we have 3 E55's, SL65 C63, and possibly a C32.

By chance would any of you be interested in hitting up the track on the following Saturday? This would be a great opportunity to possibly have your car fine tuned. Trust me, these days don't come all that often.

I'd be down for a meet, don't plan on getting a tune since I have no mods yet. Keep us posted

Alan, the car's still running strong as ever expecially with our cool temps year round here. Hopefully this meet will be a Go because I need to get my a/f ratio under control.

Great! There are many cars out there that have a tune only and make some great power. Either way the more the merrier and hopefully it will be a great turn out.

Glad to hear it Kou! Once you get a custom tune to tie all you mods together your car will be a screamer!

Awesome! I'll make sure and keep the thread updated as I hear more.

Alright fellas,

It seems as though enough interest has developed to take it to the next step. I'll be looking into a dyno place that has more than enough space to accommodate a few cars. If any bay area boy or girls have any recommendation speak up. I have done all my tuning socal and any input would be appreciated.

If members have a preference on the date please speak up, I'm mostly open.

I'll start a list for people of people so far has shown interest.

1. bassn_07 (E55)
2. cahiil55k (E55)
3. ryguy84 (C63)
4. E55amg/FD3S (E55)
(members that have contacted me offline)
5. SL65
6. 2 (E55's)

I'm interested in meeting up but my car has no modifications. Does it make sense for me to dyno and how much does it typically cost?

Usually dyno fee are about $75-100 for 3 pulls. Are you interested in a tune for a stock motor?

How much more power would you notice on a stock motor if you do a tune?

I'm not positive on the exact number but I would think anywhere from 25-35 might be possible. I'll check with Jeremy on Monday and see what he says. Do you plan on upgrading later on?

2 (E55's)

Things are looking really good as of now and I'll be contacting Paul from EIP Racing this week. His shop is in Milpitas near the Great Mall and Mikesamg used him before and was very satisfied with the results. He uses a AWD Mustang dyno and I believe Jeremy used him before when he was with PC. Please just keep in mind that this dyno does read a tad lower so don't expect to break any records. As most of you know the delta is are only concern not the final peak number. Paul showed us some past dynos with stock E55's and they were all in the 355-370 range. Not the most impressive numbers but it's a very solid setup with a man who has become a very well known tuner here in the bay area.

Dates will soon be posted.

Thanks for the update Alan. I'll be unavailable this coming weekend (family is coming in for my kid's b-day). I'll wait for an exact date from you though.

Bringing this thread back TTT.

Jeremy is on the east coast right now and I'm going to try and get him in the bay area on his way back. My guess would be sometime in the next week or two.

Please pm me if you're serious about bringing him here. He has been doing great things on all platforms. Hit me up and we'll go from there.
