    I don't believe I was inferring ANY fact at all on my own part, rather establishing that YellowEvo's statement that road tuning is a waste of money is HIS own opinion. So I'm still not sure what "facts based on the opinions of others" you think I'm claiming.

    Still don't know what "this" refers to.

    But yeah. Good job whipping out that e-peen right away, anyway. Especially when you don't actually understand what's being said. :icon_thumright:

    As for your legitimate, non-retarded questions...Mike brings his own wideband AFR meter and a RaceLogic Driftbox when he does tuning away from his shop.

      Well, we got a few people with some valid, serious interest, but not enough. So, Mike won't be coming, and I'll be heading to RS Motors to get tuned.

          I saw your journal on iwsti, you should make some good power.

          Good luck.

                I saw on iwsti that he was already there for some stuff. Just wondering how he liked RS...

                I don't have an account on iwsti. Just surf it once and a while.

                    He's right, I was already at RS for a bit on Friday/Saturday. We did the motor break-in and driveability tuning. Ron seems like a great guy, and happily educates you when your knowledge falls short...and the rest of the RS guys are pretty cool, too. I have to say, I was INFINITELY happier pulling up to RS Motors and seeing the pure sex in the form of car candy in their parking lot (a number of Evos, STis, and others), compared to seeing NOTHING at DB Performance when I was there in December. It reinforced the thought that I'd made a good choice. I'm going back there tomorrow for the full throttle/full boost tune.

                        DB > RS.

                        Who cares about what cars they have sitting in their parking lot? Why not look at past tunes and clientele? DB has tuned the baddest of the bad.

                          I honestly didn't feel that confident with DB. I think they do a fantastic job with Mustangs. I'm not so sure about Subarus. But who can ever say for sure?

                          Anyway, I'm happy with what I've got, and I'll have some dyno numbers tomorrow.

                                    DB failed to tune a 94-95 GT with a simple trick flow stage 1 camshaft. The can ran worse when it left than when it came in. DB tried to tell him that he needed to get a custom grind camshaft. :bullshit:

                                    HiTech tuned it without an issue.

                                      And so, right around the time I'm getting into St Cloud, I get a call from RS telling me that Ron won't be in due to family problems and they have to cancel my appointment to finish up the tune. Yay driving 400 miles for nothing!

                                        Ouch. Don't you live in bismarck? They shut down 94 from jamestown to bizzo due to water.

                                          My permanent address is in Bismarck, but I'm in Devils Lake til May...so getting back to where I need to be didn't have any effect on me. I just turned around and spent the day in Fargo with a bunch of people and then drove back to DL last night.
