I find it difficult to remember the tech stuff we discussed as I seem to be playing Dr. Phil with you a lot lately, with the private therapy sessions and all, Louie.
Turbo concerns, wastegate concerns, whatever else. Who makes you feel better and more confident in it all?

Hey all, I am going to add this to the official EVOLV-Chicago meets thread as an add-on to the Lakeshore Meet/Cruise.
All are welcome to join in the cruise afterward!!!
Since I live in Plainfield, I'll probably stop by at some point and check out the fun that is a dyno day! I saw someone asking where to stay: there are a couple of hotels on Weber Road and I-55 in Romeoville. They are close and have reasonable rates (or so I've heard). A quick search came up with these

![Question](https://www.rx8club.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
MM,
Can you post a brief description of what your plans are? For example are you going to get a base run first then tune? Will you be able to generate two maps? For example, one for daily use then one for track use? I actually wouldn't mind driving daily on a track map if time is an issue, that is as long as it's not pushing the envelope to far in terms of engine reliability. I don't mind losing some mpg in order to achieve more HP, same goes for cat life. Thanks

There is only one tune - it does everything.
Put behind you the idea that there are different levels and tunes. That is a very 1990's way of thinking about it.
We will tune your car for its maximum potential as it sits that day.
I will dial in your MAF calibration, we will go for a ride and get some street/highway tuning and then strap it down and maximize the AFRs and ignition timing.
Power will come naturally from that.
I don't believe in tuning a street car for power only. It should have its entire performance envelope maximized and the results will follow.

^^ I have my choice of hotels actually.
I'm already booked to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Chesterton.
However I may spend Saturday night in Chicago at the Embassy Suites downtown on North State Street or the Westin on North Dearborne
.... leaning towards Embassy Suites, I basically lived there for a year in 2006.

^^^ Thanks alnielsen
I fly into ORD every Monday then drive to Chesterton Indiana.
I take the return trip on Friday and I'm quite aware of the toll booths and traffic.
I'm hoping that Saturday Morning will not be busy. While I may stay over in Chicago Saturday night. I love Chicago, prolly my favorite NA city.
Thanks for your concern
