$300 for the suspension parts install, $800.00 complete.
I don't know if he means to put in on the Dyno. I took it as "do you mind if I take a look at your tune?"
Honestly, he can tweak it all he wants. I trust him with my car, and I can always revert to what Brenspeed sent me.

RE: Car goes in to speed shop on Monday!
Way to go with the 4:10's.
$500 to F&I gears is a fair price, a little on the high side but not bad.
So your a 0-60 ft lover.
Hope you have plenty of money. To help with the 0-60 ft times you will also need LCA's (possibly with relocation brackets (anti-squat) and an UCA.
Then you can get into weight reduction on the front end by installing an after market K-member, A-arms and Radiator support delete. (almost 100lbs lost)
All of this will help with the carsweight transfer to the rear tires when you punch it.
Next is reducing rotational weightloss with the installation of a one piece aluminum drive shaft.
If you really have a lot of cash to burn purchase 4 new ultra lite wheels. These things cost about $500 ea.
Oh Yeah, then you will need some really good drag radials.
Next is a very good 93 octane race tune.
That should just about do it.
With all of this, a little gas in the tank and nothing in the trunk you will get into the 12's in a 1/4 mile run.
When you price all of this stuff up (installed) you will see what the guys that purchase a S/C or Turbo must invest to get the new power to the ground.
Mods are a sickness. If you find your urge uncontrollable seek proffessional help. Like the Betty Ford Foundation or something.
Or, you could just wait until a good deal comes around for a used GT500.
$300 is a fare price for a CUSTOM Tune. This generally takes quite a while. 2+ hours atleast.
If the guy is just going to change the gear setting in your tune he is taking advantage of you. Ray Charles could do it in 5 minutes.
If this shop isNOT your tuner:
What you will want to do is to get a copy of your pull on a CD. Go home and email the pull file and your tune back to your tuner. He will make adjustments as required and email the corrected tune back to you to reload into your car.
This is the process I use with my tuner (Doug)only I email selectedmonitored inputs also.
Good Luck

RE: Car goes in to speed shop on Monday!
I imagine for that price he is talking about a dyno tune.
Changing the gears with the tuner is nothing and tweaking shouldn't cost you 300.00.
You might ask him to give you the dyno sheet after the tune for your records.
Sounds like you have your bases covered!

I'm very confident with my choices. Lots of great information of MF!

I'll be sure to take before and after pictures for how the Roush springs drop the vert!

RE: Car goes in to speed shop on Monday!
I got my 4.10s installed last week and honestly you can tell something is different with how fast you shift but I really didnt feel the quickness of the gears. It kind of feels like I have my 3.55s but im just shifting sooner. Cant wait to hit the track to find out how much they helped.
