Glad you enjoyed the area!!
4-5 hours driving is way too much to hang for 4 hours and come back.
It is on sunday because it is an event for Bay area folks...thus the name BAM. As long as they don't claim to be from norcal, they can do whatever they want whenever lol.

woohoo just did the first reflash of my ecu with changes! First reflash I only had the drive by wire throttle mapping changes.....short version I will now be able to use the last 40% of my throttle! lol stock throttle mapping is suuuuper sensitive on the 2.5i's! more info to come my 10 minute idle period has ended! gotta go test now!`

**copied from my post on a differant forum**
So I just wanted to do a little write up on my experience dealing with williaty tuning my car. I paid Ty a reasonable amount to bring my car to LIFE!
He had a very quick turn around on roms. The first one he sent me was only drive by wire throttle mapping changes. These made a huge difference on the drivabilty of the car at both grocery getter mode and autocross modes. I can feel the car now into turns. I have way more control of throttle in and out of turns. The stock map was way too touchy at WOT and had a tendency to throw the suspension off as it would lurch at WOT in and out of turns.
I have the 4EAT. The shift points are way more predictable now. I can easily down shift to 3rd on the highway without inadvertently hitting 2nd.
The car doesn't surge +300 rpm -300 rpm at part throttle going down hills anymore.
So many little DBW quirks have been fixed. She drives like a luxury sedan (which is wife friendly) without lurches from start etc when I want and drives like the sports car it was supposed to be from the factory.
The next flash I got from Ty was the performance changes. Were I live the yearly average high is 60 degrees. It never gets above 70 degrees here so my learning view snapshot showed that my engine was knocking very little in just a few areas. So Ty built the map to maintain the aggressive factory timing below 75 degrees. Above 75 the ecu pulls timing to keep the engine from knocking.
Before my car would feel powerful off and on depending on how the stock ecu felt. After Ty's flash the car GOES when I want to. She puts me back in my seat a little more now. All around the car feels more precise. I believe that my O-60mph time has increased. And I'm sure that fuel mileage will follow but I need further testing to verify that.
All around I was happy with my experience with Ty tuning my car. He took the time to explain things to me thoroughly. I would highly recommend that you talk to him about tuning your car!!
And when is the next cruise??!!
