    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

R-Spec 5.0 TUNE opportunity BTRcc

Definitely interested in this...I'm in as well!!
 
I emailed the company again to see if there is still an opportunity.
They are in IL so hopefully we have a member willing to loan a car.
 
Where in Illinois? I live 35 miles SW of the City.

edit:

nvm...I see, they are in Arlington Hts.
 
I'm in for driveability and throttle response.
 
They are about 45 min. drive from my Home. I wouldn't mind to get there and spend all day at their Shop and let them run some tests, but leaving my car alone? ....tsk tsk, not really :rolleyes:
 
Got a response.

Our tuner has the Genesis Sedans on the list for the ECU's to work on :)

We are first looking to complete testing in Korea first then we'll move to tune the US versions as well.
we are working on it so hopefully we can have some good news for everyone this year

Sincerely,
Blood Type Racing Inc.
 
My coupe has previously been dyno-tuned by Jay of SFR so I recently asked him about the tuning possibility of our engines and his response was...
"We can sure do that too... Yet again we do all the testings in house @ SFR USA.
I actually got contacted by few locals recently and it's just matter of time."
The question now remains as when is the matter of time. I will see if I can personally meet him again in the near future at a local tuning event (for the coupe sibling, of course) and push him again in this matter. At the very least there is a hope.

Is it at their shop in West Chester, PA?

I'm close to that location and would consider being the guinea pig.

Here is some info from their site.

yes, Jay owns a shop in West Chester, PA just west of Philly and he also has an in-house dynometer so he is very capable of tuning anything he feels like.
Jay has tuned my coupe twice and I'm very impressed with the results.
I have no doubt he can tune the 3.8 GDI engine as he has done that for the coupe clans.
As for the 4.6 or 5.0, I'm not sure but Jay has in-sight connections in S Korea where he annually goes back to for family and others.
Someone or myself may open a new thread in this forum gauging interests among us sedan owners and if there is enough in return I'm sure Jay will push forward from making this a reality.
Guys, I can't wait for this to happen to our cars because from my previous experience with the coupe was just phenomenal.
The coupe drives like a totally different beast after the custome tune.
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
I will pm Jay and ask him about this possibilty.
If some mutual interest starts brewing then I will have him directly contact you or vice versa.
I'm excited, already!!

Excellent. Thank you.

Neil

as stated before, just waiting to know who to write the check to. car has enough power to light up the 275's in the rear. kill the nanny and keep both wheels smoking with the 5.0 and im happy. anything else is gravy
