    I would say this is an excellent opportunity for anyone that wants a more custom tune. I had Jan tune mine at the Dragon this year and the performance gain/drivability of the car was pretty amazing, and this is just a canned tune with no dyno time. To actually have Jan tune it on the dyno, I can only imagine the extra customization/gains you would see (depending on mods to the car, of course). I can only say great things about my tune and I have ridden in CHKMINIs car pre and post tune and the gains he got are nothing short of amazing.

    Same here... The difference was utterly amazing... BMW/MINI left a bunch of HP locked up in the ECU....:Thumbsup:

    If I had the money right now I would throw my RMW cam and injectors in and trailer my car up there.

    Thanks for getting some feedback from everyone. I've been trying my best to get 10 or more people to join in on this tune.

    The price is the best and getting the best tune for our MINIs makes it 100x better.

    The dates will be end of August or beginning of September. When I spoke to chad he told me he would talk to Jan to see what days are good for both of them. I am leaning more into September since Jan and Chad are both super busy in August.

    I will post the new information June 14th after I meet with chad when he installs my belt line blackout:).

    As of right now we have 5-6 people interested. And with a few people from here then we can get a set date and deposits down.

    A tune is the biggest bang for the buck performance mod period.

    Part of the lower turnout may be due to Jan doing a tuning day in Milwaukee this summer. Detroit may be closer for some of those folks, but still, as little as Jan is in the midwest, I'd find it surprising if both dates don't fill. And DT is a top-notch shop; this may not happen again for a few years, if you're thinking of a cam or head, or whatever, you have the shop that can do it right, and the guy that can tune it right, all in one place. Those stars don't align very often; I waited a couple of years for an opportunity like that to happen within driving distance, and I finally gave up waiting, had the head/cam done locally, and then a remote tune. I'd be all over this if I wasn't set up already.

    This puts us at 7-8 people now. One person is a maybe that's why I said 7-8. If you have friends with MINIs please let them know.

    I am now gonna take the step to call Detroit Tuned first thing Monday and speak with TJ and Chad so they can start moving the process. I will post all information and how much on the deposit for DT to rent the dyno.

    Lets keep getting more people! We can get 10 easily.

    If you get the date confirmed I think the commitments will increase. This is a great opportunity to get the best tune from the best. Jan woke up my JCW Coupe and I love it!

    I wanted to update everyone after speaking to TJ at Detroit Tuned. No email has been sent back yet from Jan at RMW. Reason is because there are rumors he's busy dealing with race cars right now. So a quick turnaround for the email won't be as quick, we might have a answer back from Jan hopefully this upcoming weekend, or next week. I will keep posting all the new information I will receive so everyone stays in loop.

    Any other questions you may have, contact Detroit Tuned at 1-(586)-792-6464.

    I'm sure Jan is quite busy with the Grand Am race coming up this weekend here at Mid-Ohio.

    Another + for getting your car tuned by Jan.
    I've had my R56 and my R53 tuned by him.... Both are awesome :Thumbsup:

    Just do it. You won't be disappointed.

    Crashton, yeah I figured it. That's why we will probably wait till sometime next week for an official answer. I can't wait to get this official when we have a set date!

    Thanks for everyone's comments, I'm sure I will be 100x excited if we make it happen.

    Yeah mine can be tuned. I spoke to Chad about it and an email from Jan said he would want to dyno tune it, no ECU to be sent in. So I'm good but I think he can only tune Pre-February built dates.

    I won't be able to get my tuned for some odd reason, I guess Jan just doesn't want to deal with my N18 motor:mad2:. I'm bummed as now I'm going to have to send my ECU in to PAW in FL. Good luck to the rest.

    If you have any other questions call Detroit Tuned so you can get your slot for those days!

    I don't think it's that he doesn't want to, more like he probably doesn't travel with the equipment to do those ecu's.
