what do you need for a baseline? Are you talking a track run?

Honestly Id need to install my wideband O2 sensor then dial the VE tables and MAF in, then tweak the VVT settings, trans, and spark. To do it right, Id need to borrow your truck for a day or two at least and spend 8 hours a day on it. Plus throw an hour or two of dyno time to get the WOT spark and fueling correct. We can talk about it once Im back in Seattle full time, after the middle of January Ill actually have time to spend looking at an 06-07 I6.
If I am going to invest the time and $$ into the 06-07 I6s, Id want to have at least a few more guys interested in a tune to help recoup the cost. I know there's a member from Vancouver, BC with an 07 that might want a tune, but I cant remember if he has an extended warranty or not.

Now that is a proper tune for a baseline!
Now you make me really wish I was closer to help get this done. Even getting the EFI Live modules are not cheap.

If Im going to do it at all Im going to do it right and make sure its correct and safe. Not going to tune anyone's truck and risk blowing an engine/trans, suddenly that small investment turned into a few thousand $$ ordeal.
I have an AutoCal Id be willing to send down to the Las Vegas guys if there is enough interest. Ill tune the first truck, then you pass it to another member who has paid and Ill tune their truck, then pass it again, etc. The last person can send it back to me or together you guys can buy it and keep it in Vegas. Some options to think about.
I agree with Jeff it was great to meet Fishsticks and Wootown22. We had a blast hanging out and shooting the breeze. Was really cool cruising from Lake Stevens to Everett too. Now on to the pics that I got
We look forward to the next meet!!!!!!

Man did you guys outcast Fishsticks because you were dwarfed by him? 
Looks like it was a nice day for it.

If you are still stock I can only imagine. When I was up there last year I met him and I felt dwarfed by him when he was just slightly taller than wootown. It looks like he still dwarfed her and I am about her height.

:wootwoot: More lifted rigs to meet up with on my next trip to Longview. Someone needs to go through Longview with the lifted rigs and wake them up to this place. I wasn't lifted yet when I went up there.

I spent 2 weeks up in WA last summer, 2010, stayed in Longview and traveled around. That town has so many trailvoys I would see them every place I went. Every single one was stock, I don't recall seeing anything but stock trailvoys. I had my roof rack up there and they all stared at me. Of course having Nevada plates didn't help either.

Looks like a blast guys, glad other people are getting meets together!
Cant wait for Craig to come over for New Years and get a meet going then. He's coming out late on the 28th (thurs) and leaving on the 2nd (monday). Maybe we can aim for something early on the 31st (sat) so everyone can get to their New Years plans in the afternoon.
Larry, I was bummed we didnt get to meet up last year but at least we met up in November! Are you coming back up this way anytime soon? Craig (flyingfischer) and I are talking about getting a Vegas roadtrip together with another guy or two for the Spring...

Depending on how things go, I hope to be back up there this summer. I have to make sure I have enough vacation time built up to make the drive and enjoy the trip. I can make it there in 2 days easily, I want some relaxing time as well when I get there. Last time everything was going on with the brother in laws wedding and all.
In the spring I hope not to be as busy as last year so I hope the timing is right. Make sure you verify which hotels Craig can go into.

Yep we were talking and laughing about that last night. He's actually flying down to Vegas tomorrow morning (sun) and flying back to spokane on wed. Has a job interview down there, you should try to get him to meet up. Highly doubt it will take much convincing haha.
If you can swing it (and Im still in the NW), Im sure Ill be able to meet up with ya down in Longview. Hopefully I end up in Seattle or Portland when my job hunt is over.

I'm not allowed at the Sahara anymore... Thats alright though, it's a crappy hotel/casino and too far away from the better casinos!

My brother-in-law lived in Rainier for a while. My in-laws live in Clatskanie and have other family in Longview/Kelso area. Fishsticks lives down in Vancouver, he might be able to help you out if you talk to him. If I make it up there again this summer and you don't have it done we can get together and get it done.

I'd offer you my passenger seat if I didn't have my 6 year old boy with me. I bet we could find someone for you to ride with.
Lifted? You can borrow the 35s off my TB to run your truck with.

I did go... I was in my Yota. I got there around 8:45 and stayed until it closed.
I got stuck in the mudhole right after I pulled a big ford out of it....then he pulled me out.
I kept my eye open for any TBs around. Didn't see any.
