Re: Can we make a sticky of who can give 2 degree timing advances??

All's fine guys, let's chill!

Technical Note: Osiris can only tune one ECU, but do Timing Advance on any.

Now guys, I'm going to let my gaurd down and would like to share a thought or two. I've been on both sides of this one (with a bit of anxiety really).

I bought Cipher and had a buddy immediately offer to pay to do his, so I came to a fair price that did not need change made, and was in ballpark or lower than others were charging. So I made it 40 bucks. (At the time, 400 bucks for the Cipher was a lot for us, life is better now). Only expected to do that one, maybe a couple more eventually... I did enough (quite unexpectedly, I was really shocked how many looked me up) and eventually had more than recovered cost of Cipher and Tune (never my intent, but the wife got most of it anyways; she deserves some mad money anyway!) So then I went to doing it for free to help draw more into the Charm City Titans (still trying to get that established better).

I'd just recommend doing what you're comfortable with. I personally would have somebody PM for cost instead of listing it too much. I don't want anyody else to feel uncomfortable because they charge a little, and somebody else doesn't. But I did get my idea of fair from post made here. As you can see, I've really been on both sides of this fence. We all have different financial abilities and motivations, that's OK, really............

I love doing it, love to help, and money doesn't motivate me. Maybe that's why I am just an average joe...ha ha! I've now done about 53 tunes, and look forward to doing more. I've met so many nice men and women and their families and friends too. I really enjoy the social aspect of this Titan hobby. Thanks for the accolades bbomar and blackbeauty, et al. I obviousely didn't want to post, not with my pricing! LOL! My Osiris cable is due in a few days.

So, yes, TitanBlue does it for free, just PM me or come to the CCT meet or NJ and we'll get it done!
