For a single person in the US? Probably $600 to $900.

For the Europeans, only $1.

But you need to get me there and put me up.

Update,

New process rocks. Got final tune, car starts better, runs better, sounds better, pulls stronger.

Highly recommended.

Tuesday, March 29th
10:00am - 1:00pm
5:00pm - 7:00pm

Arizona Time (same as Pacific Daylight Time or GMT - 7 hours)

I am going to finalize this next week, but it looks like from now on, this is the method we are going to employ. I will do this every Tuesday, unless there is a conflict or a better day/time system avails itself to me.

There will be new instructions, new instructions instructions and new calibration info.

Received v4.0.1 Tuesday, but haven't been able to do any more data logging. Generally speaking, how many calibrations (NA) will need to be done?

And you will know it when you hear it. You might get out of the car and look under the hood and under the car but when you find nothing you will know.

Calibration - Thursday Event

I thought it was great! One thing that really worked well for me was the scheduling. I am only at my desk a few hours a day and roving at work (in Gardena) the remainder of the time. I got a quick chat response that I was up in 60 minutes. That let me go back out to the factory and manage and at the one hour mark, went back and checked in and sure enough it was my turn in about 5 minutes. Then the cal came in 10 minutes more and I asked my 2 questions, got quick answers and moved on. The process was slick enough that my boss who was in the office during part of it didn't realize what I was up to and thought i was working on something for him. The second custom cal is another major improvement. I kind of miss the flaming backfires when I shift at redline on my late night runs up Bouquet Canyon. I was sort of used to the bright flash in the rear view mirror.
I was one of the really really pissed off customers so for me to be this pleased is evidence of how well this worked.

That shift time between gears is pretty impressive.

Just signed up for the tuning over the weekend and got the base calibration installed today. I sent an invite through google talk (pfkalis@gmail.com) and will be partaking in the tuning extravaganza on the 29th. Hopefully the snow stays away or things could get interesting. Also, full blast AC isn't going to be pleasant if the temp stays in the mid 30's.

I'm going to miss that too. Oh well, as long as the car pulls harder through the revs I'm fine with it.
