Refueling and Road Trip Prep
As we refuelled our cars, Alex had an 85 tune but was on his way to get a laptop to detune it so he could run 91. He had been shopping for a laptop while being halfway across the world via text messages when he forgot where he put them. After receiving texts from us about the laptop's whereabouts, we went over to Alex’s house to get one. Unfortunately, the first house didn’t have an available laptop and another was taken by Alex himself, who claimed not to know how to detune his car or did not want to give up his power. The second Alex had told us he wouldn't be able to come with us on our trip to Vegas because he was too busy.
As a result, we decided to proceed without him and head out to meet up with some new recruits along the way. Our first stop would be a gas station where we picked up one of the new recruits who joined our crew. We were all excited to finally have a team together that could take on this challenge. Alex had an expensive cup holder in his car that seemed to serve no practical purpose.
Before we left, we visited the local police station and spoke with some officers about our plans for the trip. Our first stop was near the top of a hill where we decided to take a few practice runs up and down the hill to warm up our cars. As we warmed up, Alex mentioned that his right side speedometer had been set to 2003 miles an hour. We were all shocked by this claim.
Next, we headed to a gas station for some food and to ask about detuning a car using their ECU software. The owner of the gas station told us that they did not sell e85 fuel anymore but offered us some free candy instead. Alex mentioned that he had downloaded an ECU file from VF, a company that provides tuning files for cars.
As we sat at the gas station, Alex explained to us how detuning his car would work using his phone and a cable to plug into it. He told us that it was a relatively simple process that could be done in just two minutes. When he finished explaining, we all took off, with Alex's car leading the way.
We stopped at a gas station near our destination where we found out that e85 fuel would not be available there either. We then headed back to the hotel and checked in, feeling relieved that we had made it safely despite some unexpected setbacks. Before going to bed, we discussed what the next day would bring, knowing that we had an epic adventure ahead of us.
The next morning, Alex greeted us warmly at the MGM Grand hotel where he was supposed to meet us for our planned detuning exercise. We were excited to finally see how this process worked in person and were eager to learn from our new friend.
Alex explained to us that his car's ECU had a secret message embedded into it, which said "Alex chose special sauce" when viewed on the software's screen. He showed us how to access the menu and explain to us that the detuning file was called "special sauce." We were all fascinated by this and couldn't wait to see the results of our exercise.
After we finished our exercise, Alex told us that his car had gained 50 horsepower due to the tuning process. We were impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm for car tuning. As we left the hotel, we couldn't help but feel excited about what the day had in store for us.
The next part of the article would continue the story of our adventure as we set out to explore the city and see how Alex's car performed on the road. We were eager to test out his detuned engine and see if it could handle the traffic and conditions of the city streets.
