cost of tuning
how much does tuning usually cost an hour? i bought a new nitrous kit and im going to be running quite a bit bigger shot. car isnt tuned at all now, i just use an AFPR so i think i need some tuning pretty bad after all my mods

RE: cost of tuning
$500-$600 , but its dam worth it!
, most tunes not only make your combo run properly and safely, they usually shred .5 seconds + off your E/T.
I WAS AT A 13.1 , 12.5 AFTER THE TUNE AT 64 * and low humidity. Apparently I had several parameters extremely off, according to the two techs.
They will put a chip in your car and spend hours on the dyno to make a custom burn or two for your particular setup.
Make sure you get the REFLASHABLE CHIP, not the one time deal, or every tune, youll need a new chip.
when they were done, the dam thing launched like star trek taking off at warp nine, and digs all the way to to the red very fast and then second and third come flying by, I love it.
Now im in need of another [:'(]

RE: cost of tuning
The local place here in frederick MSP charges 350 for a dyno tune... Very resonable plus for jsut a dyno run they charge 50 for 1, 75 for 2, or 100 for 3...
They're pretty reputable, they sport the worlds fastest street legal supra...

RE: cost of tuning
how big of a shot are you running/going to run? are you getting the aem soon? btw i don't really get why people forge a stock 302 block....the block will split before you need to worry about the stock internals. unless it needed a rebuild anyway...then it makes sense since cheaper forged internals aren't much more expensive anyway
