While I'd normally agree, I'd argue that long term fuel trims and iam shouldn't need to adjust. They should just be zero and one, respectively. If your iam isn't one, your engine isn't happy and something needs fixed. Ltft's aren't as big an issue unless it's the 40g/s+ range, but still should be minimal if present at all.

I'm sure we can work around it when the time comes
We will work around it as we have taken care of many in various time zones

Turn music off.

I really like the sound of this. Sounds much more efficient, and I really look forward to it since I finally pulled the trigger on working with FA20club

Heard too many good things to pass up the opportunity bravo, guys.

Had my tuning appointment today with Toni at 10am. This process is great!!!! sent my first set of logs in at 10am and received an updated tune about 45 min later. drove the car, recorded some more logs and sent them in, again about 45 min later had another updated tune file. Did the same process about 6 times getting the car fine tuned in to my particular setup. overall I think this process works fantastic. Pretty much a whole day dedicated to you and getting your tune right in a single day is way better than having to bug Toni throughout a week or so and get tunes here and there. Make sure you have a whole day to spare like they said, we started at 10am and finished around 5:30 PM. So worth it!!! Thanks again Toni, cars running great and is a blast to drive!!

I am not yet an FA20 customer as I am not ready for that step yet, but I have certainly put you at the top of my list for consideration. I actually respect this policy much more than the previous unlimited tune policy as long as I am reading it right. It sounds like we book a day where we have full access for tunes and we can shoot logs/tunes back and forth in minutes/hours rather than days/weeks. Instead of getting three shots and then kicking rocks as misunderstood earlier, customers get a chance to get a fully working tune three separate times.

The way I see it as someone completely impartial:
Get base tune and run for a few days and then pull a log.
Book day 1, send 1st log and then do multiple updates.
Run car for a few more weeks and assess by checking logs whether a 2nd day is beneficial and repeat if necessary.
