paivag:
The shop will be in Worcester MA. It is about 1 hour 15 minute ride up. Not bad at all. Did it MANY MANY times to see a gf I had a while back. I would say if we got 5-6 people that wanted to just do 3-6 pulls that would be fine to fill up the group. Of course ALL are welcome to come and watch/help.

I am not interested in dealing with Pruven in any way/shape/form. I have learned that if you want to hang with other S2000s you gotta drive. I prefer going to MA vs. NY. Though when I started for the first 2 years it was basically ME for the CT S2000 Group. There were some others but none really participated in many/any events. So I drove up to MA to hang.

Hopefully this year some others here in CT will setup some drives/BBQ's/ Tech Days/ etc. to try and draw the MA crew down here. They are due for some driving.

Update:
Pinky(V-AFC tune)
Bass(V-AFC tune)
g-s2k(AEM tuning)
speedfreak(6 pulls)
paivag(6 pulls)
psychoben(maybe V-AFC tune)
Reedz(maybe)

Thanks Pinky!

I am sure we can persuade a few enthusiasts to come down our way when the weather gets warmer. I mean come on we live on the shore. Thats gotta pull some people. We can stage something at gulf or silver sands beach. I am up for BBQ any time! I have a map detailing fine drives in Connecticut. We could stage a drive with that.

BTW, what's wrong with Pruven? Should I be concerned?

I would be interested in doing a few stock pulls to baseline then maybe a few with an intake. Just for sh:ts and giggles!

Thanks

If Glen is doing the AEM you guys might want him to go last. That is going to take forever. Glen I would seriously reconsider doing that if the S2000 is your daily/frequent driver. Talk to Chris (HamS2000) he talked me out of it very quickly. He totally does not recommend it for a daily driver. I really hate to be the downer of the group but you guys are seriously underestimating the amount of time it takes to tune a VAFC. Most places will take at least 15~20mins to strap down your car, then another 15~20mins to take it down. Add the time it takes to tune a VAFC in there and it will kill most of the day to do 3 VAFC tunes.

I got to say Pruven is a very well known commodity in the DSM community. Alot of folks have used them to tune and build their cars. Sometimes it's hit or miss you get along with a shop or you don't. I wouldn't say that they are bad guys, just not Honda guys.


BTW, I am a DSMer also have been for years. Just got my new/used toy a perfect condition Galant VR4.

So are all these people OK with saying YES?
Update:
Pinky(V-AFC tune)
Bass(V-AFC tune)
g-s2k Full Tune
speedfreak(V-AFC tune)
paivag(6 pulls)
psychoben(V-AFC tune if things come in on time remember sssh )
Reedz(maybe)

So its like 5 definites. 3 doing VAFC tuning 1 doing a full AEM tune. 1 doing just 6 pulls.

Ben and James are a maybe if things work out for them.

I just wanted to get a for sure head count now so I can talk to the dyno shop and setup the pricing.
