Default Spring tune and test

Hey folks,

the warm weather is here and it's time to get ready for some LT5 WOT

I'd like to see if we can muster the WAZOO and LT5 faithful for some test and tune days at Evolution.

If we can get enough folks we can rent the dyno for a whole day and get the price of the wideband pulls better.

Of course we'll be cooking out and enjoying a cool one.

Demps has one coming up in April, and I'd like to dyno and tune a couple of my cars and see if I can rally the brother hood.

Details to follow, who's in?

I'm jealous. It was below freezing yesterday here in WI

Default wash weather

In DC if you don't like the weather, wait 10 min.

We froze here too, but tomorrow it will be in the 70s

I have lots of family in Madison.

Ron,
I'm a big question mark right now, my Z has been delayed getting into the paint booth. The painter says I'll have it back before Easter, but can't count on that.

Are you taking about 4/15? If so, I am good for Dyno/tune.

Possible silly question so I apologize in advance but I have a Haibeck chipped car and I want to get it custom dyno tuned. What adapter is needed for the the OBD port etc and where can I borrow or purchase one? Thanks.

Craig,
tuner cat, moates, look up road runner so you can tune on the fly.

you need to also be able to burn the memcal chip. It's getting hard to find the removable memcal chips and proms.

fairly significant learning curve. ZR-1 is a simple speed density which helps.

No foolin, just toonin

I can't wait to hear a little WOT music and wring a few more hp out of the herd.

I finally got a JOB so things are looking up.

If we can get enough folks to commit in advance we can get a bit of a break on the dyno time.

Demps has been very generous to the ZR-1 community and it's time to show a bit in return!

Dust off those LT5s or cool cars and bring em on down. I hope to dyno a few myself!!! The LSV needs a bit of street tuning to smooth it out with the fidanza.
