Default VITESSE TUNER NEEDED....please.

Thanks....and sorry for the desperation....but that is what it has come to.

Just to be clear.....it is not a problem with Johns product, he has been great through all of this. It is just a "fine-tune" issue, I was told. I was supposed to get the car back today, but Gabe (fastmover) needs help finishing the tune. I am trying to reschedule for tomorrow, as I need it back this weekend (my last opportunity to get it back to VA. and sell it before I go under the knife....again). The spinal injury is hampering my efforts, so any help from the Renns/RW community will be paid back ten fold....somehow.

SO....if there are any tuners or mechanics that know HOW to properly tune/dial in a Vitesse kit, so I can get this complete this weekend. PLEASE e-mail me and I will get you in touch with Gabe (fastmover). He is supposed to be e-mailing me the data-logs ASAP so we can figure out what is wrong. I will post them when I get them ro can forward them to whomever.....

FYI...from what I was told it is stumbling throughout the mid-range and is running lean in a few spots as well.


OBVIOUSLY, I AM MORE THAN WILLING TO PAY ANYONE WHO CAN HELP OUT....ESPECIALLY GIVEN THAT IT IS THE WEEKEND.

I just NEED this car back in the worst way.

Email is CPRacing_aero@live.com

I can PayPal, (or FedEx a Cashiers Check, money order, cash...any form of payment), whatever fees are necessary to whichever shop, tuner, mechanic, etc....that can get this issue fixed by tomorrow. Or at least try.

Nothing broke. CPR is supposed to pick his car up, Gabe needed a few questions answered to complete the car. Obviously, it's a last minute thing on a Saturday

Well done John!

Best products too. I bet a nickel that the stumblng and lean spots are installation issues or something else on the car....

CPR, I don't recall what time we talked, I think it was after your post. Did you inform Gabe about tomorrow. I asked him to check a few things, hopefully we can conclude it tomorrow. It's a few simple things! Let me know about tomorrow's schedule!

And thank you guys for the kind words!

Guys, adjusting AFR with the SMT6 is so easy with John's software it's not funny. It really shouldn't even be called "tuning." I wouldn't attempt it with a broken back , but really, it doesn't take any automotive experience, just a simple basic understanding of how to do it.

I feel that my money was very well spent with John - perhaps the best purchase yet for my 951.

Good luck Patrick....
