ok there is some speculation about a casino gathering sometime in th enext few weeks, Ahmed and I thought it woudl be best if it were on a friday or weekend day because of the times people have to wake up on weekdays. IE Cameron and a few others so we want these important members there so what does everyone think will be the best? next friday? the 25th? say about 8-9:00? lets show some 3si pride!

Aurora casino is 5$ to get in and Elgin is free what does anyone else sugest?

I have a moral opposition to paying any casino for the privilege of losing my money to them. I vote Harrah's in Joliet

The more I have been driving the car in its current set up, the more I think I ain't going to waste my time at the dyno... you're running a MAF-T, so you know what I'm talking about, the MAF-T has a default temp and I believe barametric pressure (BP) setting, so everytime the Outside Air Temperature (OAT), relative humidity (RH), or BP changes, you have to make "minor" adjustments. Hell, I have to change mine both morning and afternoon.

I am coming to think that the dyno gives you a good running tune at a specified set of parameters.... and as long as the track has the same OAT and RH and BP, you are good to go, otherwise you have got to adjust your tune on the fly
Scott I would think you whould know my name by now man.

What your saying is true, but not all of it applies to me. My car is not my daly driver so I don't need to drive it from morning till night. Also I store it in the winter and so I mostly drive it in the summer. Yes I know the MAFT has a set temp value (which is 80*F if you dident know ) and since I mostly drive around in that temp its ok for me. I'm sure your a good tunner, but the Dyno/dyno tech is the best way to get a car tunned. Once you have a whole new fuel system, turbos, ect.. big work on your car your never going to get stock drivability through out the year. With the dyno I can get my car tuned so well that even when the temp out side changes, I will still have drivability and most of the power. It might not be perfect with the diffrent temps durning the year, but that affects mostly all upgraded sports cars. If it gets so bad that i'm loseing alot of power, all I do is whip out my data logger and see what changes I need to make and change them. Then I can change the settings back to what the dyno put them to in a sec.

Thanks for coordinating this mini-gathering, Andy! as I mentioned w/ my previous post: Joliet and Aurora Casino's work for me. There's now a chance I may not be able to make it on Friday 6/25/04 but definitely Sunday 6/27/04 works for me......

The casinos make enough stinking money from people paying for entertainment... I ain't going to pay the MFs anything extra just for the privilidge of paying for entertainment.

When I was living in Jersey, I actually went to Vegas more than I went to Atlantic City. In Vegas, they know you aren't leaving right away, so they have other entertainments for you, knowing they will get your cash eventually... all these other casinos (the indian ones are the worst) know you are going home, so they want your money and they want it...
NOW!

I say screw 'em!

I'll pass this time guys, but if anyone wants to go out to Vegas, let me know, and I'm there.

Np, I'll say Hi to them for you.
I'm going tomarow at 2pm so if you or any one wants to come by and check it out its cool.

I found this other place in Northbrook thats actually closer to me with an AWD mustang dyno, but I wint with GRD cause I hard so much more about them and talking on the phone with them, they sound like they really know what there doing.

I would come to the Casino with you guys but I'm leaving Friday morning to Miami for a week. So who ever wants a race will have to wait till I come back
