Default Shawn Church tuning in S.D?

Is it true Shawn Church will be having tuning sessions at Synapse in S.D once or twice a month?

*EDIT*
I emailed Church and this is the response I received:

Hi,

We have discussed coming down for a day or two to tune some cars down there (making things easier for some of our customers who would have to make the trip otherwise). It will be slightly more expensive than if I tune at my shop (about 10%), but you'd probably save about that much in gas round trip anyways (and a lot of time).

If you are interested, contact Peter at Synapse and give him your info. Once we get enough people interested, we'll schedule a time to come down and tune.

His latest response:

Hi,

Looks like we'll be going down on Sunday July 27th. Would you like to reserve a
spot? We'll need to take a small deposit up front (refundable up to 1 week
before the day of tuning). BTW, what sort of car and engine management do you
have?

Hey all,
In order to properly accommandate everyone that's planning on doing pulls and tunes, you should make an appoinment with Church Automotive first for dyno day.

Just to let everyone know. If you're planning on squeezing some high numbers or if you're tuning a race car, Synapse will have race gas at the facility for sale.

103 and 109 octane.

only two cars were tuned, not a huge turnout. my car wasn't able to be to tuned because i ran into a small problem but i was there in the morning to pick up a basemap and it was cool to finally meet shawn. it was both shawn and todd that came down to tune and i have heard a lot of good things about todd too. i am finiding a way to organize the next one to get him to come down sooner, if i can get at least three more cars with me then i can prolly have him come down as early as next week. the downpayment need to be sent tho.

That's a pity, I was told they were fully booked so I didn't bother going. I'd like to make it to the next one.

oh ok, how much power did it end up making? I had to plug my ears because that thing screamed so loud haha.

I got an e-mail from Shawn and since this was not as successful as he planned, he won't be coming down no earlier than a month
