Damn I should check regional section more, missed this 
You tuning guys need to relax and get off each others' backs, it's not really a good way to start the club.
Dyno Dinamics is a heart breaker dyno, but it's certainly not inaccurate. Somehow people forget that unless there are more similar cars being dynoed on the same day and on the same dyno, it's hard to compare the numbers. Best is to dyno stock and tuned to see the improvement or wait for a dyno day where there would hopefully be other cars with similar mods.
Logging 60-100mph is also pretty good tool as there are a lot of those results floating around.

I WASN'T on anyone's back about tuning. I SIMPLY stated that this is not a tuning thread, nor is it a for sale thread, nor is it a complain about the tune you got, thread. END OF ******* STORY. Quit bringing it up. And, as I stated before, you brought it up, I will be reporting you for spamming.

x2 on the smaller the better for the sticker. Maybe we could us an acronym for the decal like CECO or C.E. Just a thought. Guess it all depends on the designs for the logo. Speaking of which, anyone have any logo ideas drawn up?

Chicagoland Ecotecs sounds good to me 
Maybe I missed it, where are you guys planning on putting the stickers? Rear side windows?
My bad for going off topic, but if you haven't mentioned that people don't like his tunes it wouldn't have went as far as it did. Just an observation from an outsider, no need to get pissy about it.

alright ive had enough....... quit with the tuning thing..... zach and matt put it aside so everyone else ******* drop it! if your unhappy take it up with the tuner. im leaving it at that.
name suggestions - if you have one copy and paste the chicagoland ecotec thing with everyones name and then just post your idea underneath with your name under it if you like that better..i think the more name suggestions the better so theres a variety.
decals- personally i could keep it in a smaller fount and like a double row with the second row indented in slightly. entirely up to everyone. i was thinking the best place would be the side windows but everyone can put them wherever they would like.

I like Chicagoland Ecotec, and Chicago Ecotec. Maybe even Chi-Town Ecotec, but the most important word is "Ecotec".

maybe we should name it something cool, not just what it is. just because we have ecotecs and live in chicagoland doesnt mean we need to call it that. sorry but i cant think of something cool. :-( any ideas.?
