I talked to Allen about getting a GP going. We would need at least 8 people I think. That would make it about $65 cheaper.
I8AFord: You know anyone else who would want to get a tune also?
I will ask on the other boards

We can get it now, and when/if he comes down we can get updates for free/fine tune our trucks
As of now he isn't coming down, at least that I know of

Ok well, there is a thread over at gmfullsize.com about a Nelson GP.
They just had one, but another one is being asked about.
There's about 4 guys that already want in on that site, 8 or more are needed I think for the best price. So I think another one is good to go.
I already told Allen I'd be in on it.

How much is this Nelson Tune to begine with, and what would it be with the GP? I might be really interested, especially if I can get at least a few MPG's out of it.
