Default Average price on gear install and flash tune?

Hey there-

I've got a 05 GT. Im having 4.10s installed. The shop I use is asking for $350 to install the gears (I purchased them). They, however, don't handle tuning and are referring me to another shop which will tune the car and dyno for $450.00

Am I better off buying a tuner online and doing the program myself or should I allow the other shop to handle it? Is their price reasonable?

The price sounds right to me. But make sure they have experience in installing gears.

You're going to need a tuner later anyway. So, I say buy a tuner online to recalibrate your speedo because a dyno tune is not worth it with a few mods. Maybe later when you add more mods.

The custom dyno tune sounds right, may vary a little place to place. The gear install seems a little high though. I got my 4.10s installed for $270.

I had 4.10s installed for $550 - included FRPP grears, rebuild kit, fluids and labor. So, if the $350 includes rebuild kit and fluids...its a fair price. I have a tuner but the shop I went to basically told me they could reset the computer for an additional $50. Directing you to another place that charges $450 - wow thats high, even if it includes a custom dyno tune (which you don't need just for gears). Just get your own tuner from Brenspeed.

+1 to all the advice, dont get a dyno tune now get the brenspeed tune till you get FI or nitros or something that really changes your HP alot.

You will need the tuner later anyways to run checks and dowload dyognostics
