honestly there are only a couple of people serious that have cash to pitch in. I just took ownership of my Cobb so I will be revisiting this soon, I have just been busy lately since my kiddos are with me this month.

WTBRotary, I though you hadn't bought the Cobb or the BHR ignition yet?

^ I just ordered the Cobb AP last friday, and I sent back my used Gram Light rims (guy said they weren't bent), I shouldbe getting my money back and that will pay for the BHR ignition system and the leftover will be a care payment... So then I just have to save up for the BHR Midpipe which is fine, or I can try to buy it before
the car payment since I should have $400 leftover after the ignition system. We will see, but I'd like to see this ball rolling.

Date options: To help most of us out this would have to take place on a friday since some of us are in college (me still being in high
school lol). I don't know what month we would set up to do this? Any ideas?

Start a new thread or poll to see who has one in Texas and who might be interested...

Its always good to have a baseline. Cobb ap is the best mod ever.

I'll be getting a baseline soon, both on the bottle and off. Then I will make a tune myself, and then dyno again to see the difference (if there is any). And then I will turn it over to MM.

Oh I agree about that for baseline, but that seems more like not burning a dyno day on you know?

but its all moot until I get the COBB AP, HKS Hi-Power haven't really decided where else to go from there. As I'll be going through a lot or prelimenary stuff to get into the Air Force.

Sadly I believe I am the only one I know of in the area that has a Cobb AP so the others do not :/. But some of them would be interested in meeting the BHR crew etc and dynoing their cars. I'm sure I could round up a good 5 people, maybe more.

Yeah but a meet and greet is not profitable for BHR. The only way to make this happen with with the tuning. We will have to wait and see what is in the pipeline as far as tuning goes.

Something like a participation fee might work. As most of the SARX people know, I've sold my 8 so there's not really a way I could help out in the way of being another paying customer for a tune, but I'd be willing to pay a small event fee. Of course it would be hard to ban people from showing up anyways, but if it's reasonable, people would probably consider it.

The big question is how far we are from the number we need to hit. The good news about (most of) Texas is that we're not too greatly affected in the winter by bad weather. If we were up north we'd be doing all of this tuning just to drive them back to a garage for the winter months lol.
