Send me the details Hoss...I will get a few of the Rotary guys here in Houston to see what they think it would take to get it installed and working and let you know.

Kane is suppose to do my Cobb AP tune but I have not heard from him. I thought he was still ot on Army Diver Missions?? Maybe I can drive up next month and borrow his services / pay him in person?? Is he charging you guys to come down? If so, and if I can make it when he is there, I would be willing to pitch in to cover the cost.

Yeah I was, been back a few weeks. I am not sure how I missed you man, my bad. Please email me kane@ppo2performance.com

Also, if you can make it to San Antonio, I think that would work best for everyone as I already have approved leave for those days.

9k & Hoss

Was just thinking...did the previous owner of the R3 have a Cobb? I think the "security" map on the Cobb does what you guys are talking about. It flashes the ECU to keep the security system on even if the key is installed.

Just brainstorming....

Yeah it's pretty complicated stuff. We may have to take some resistors out of the SARX garage radio to get this bad boy running. I mean, it's worked before right?

The parking and seating is better at Mikes office. Plus ******* is right next door and we have a nice open stretch of interstate, and a nice little set of backroad twisties that heads over to Babcock Rd. Perfect for street tuning.

On another note...the RX Club of Houston is looking into doing a meet / Dyno day out in Sealy. I know it would be about a 2 hour drive for most of you guys but when I get more details I will post them up. From what I hear it is a REALLY nice load bearing Dyno and we will have it for the whole day. I think we are shooting for 2nd weekend in November.

We are going to all pitch in for the cost and also going to try to get Kane down for some tuning.
if the sarx going to houston to dyno day.. what a heck im down lol
