Re: Chicago Meet, Greet and BBQ - Eurocharged
Once again a very productive trip to Eurocharged. It is five hours from St Louis . worth the effort.
I went in for a little "adjustment" on the original flash tune from last March. A little tweaking, as it were.
Wayne found about 20 more horses in the ECU adding it to the 38 from the original tune. And the dyno proved it. At the wheel, 193.5 HP at 92 Degrees F vrses 174 HP last March at 60 Degrees. (base line stock was 156 HP)
My math is a little loose and we are comparing a Mustang dyno to a Dynamics Dyno, but I get 60.15 more HP at the crank from stock. That's 279 HP. My other calculations put it more conservatively at 272 HP.
Felt gooooooooooooooooooooooooood all the way home.
And,
I got 29 MPG to boot.
On top of all that, the food and company were great and I finally saw a set of aftermarket wheels that actually look like they belong on a Crossfire.
Nice work there Brian. That turbo conversion is first rate. can't wait to see where it goes.
And then...........we do mine.
If you haven't been to Eurocharged, you're missing out. These guys are passonate, tech savy and very, very good. With Chrysler moving on to Fiat, you might want to have a Eurocharged business card in you pocket.
AWESOME!

WOW...
This was a really fun day over at the new shop in Plainfield.
A lot of nice cars came out for the open house including 13 Crossfires.
oledoc2u drove up from Indiana. Franc Rauscher came in from St.Louis with his son Joe, Collin trailered his car from New Orleans and Beaner came down from Canada and is staying at my place tonight and will head home tomorrow after our Chicago GTG and cruise.
Also in attendance was Hawksview with his son, Kit Fox, FP, Zahanma, Waynesworld, Tamadx, theoneandonly, ImportLabSRT and me Valk
Dozens of Dyno pulls, Some tuning and other mods being done and of course the BBQ with plenty of burgers and dogs and cold drinks.
Jake and Wayne were running around seeing that everyone got the stuff done that they wanted and really hosted an excellent event in Eurocharged style.
My thanks to all the guys who hosted this event. Great job !!!
Here are a few pics and the link to my gallery where they all can be seen.

Re: Chicago Meet, Greet and BBQ - Eurocharged
OH YA.....
I forgot to mention that one of our newest members of only 2 weeks saw this thread and booked a flight from Arkansas and flew in for this meet at Eurocharged. Now that was impressive.
I'm sorry but with all the people I talked with yesterday I can't remember the screen name so I hope they post back in here once they read this.
It was a really nice young couple that came together in a rental car.

Re: Chicago Meet, Greet and BBQ - Eurocharged
Here are super compressed version of a few selected pics from the weekend. They were shot in JPEG and not RAW and I didn't play much with them besides MINOR light work and a border. I 'stole' Eurocharged's logo for a few of them and plastered it on them, looked nice. Ok, 4 pics per message with 30 seconds delay is super annoying but here goes.
