You'll have to check with the shop. Ask them how much they charge to tune your car. Some places are alot higher than others. I paid $200 to get my car tuned for the boltons.

If your going to the dyno just to see your power numbers, then 3 pulls should suffice just fine

I recommend finding out when Jeremy is gonna be in your area
he goes around to dyno's all over FL and tunes your car
he's in Ft Lauderdale sometimes
my buddy has always used him and when i'm ready there will be no one else I use
good luck

no prob man
like I said you wont regret using him
he really knows his **** , loves ls1's and is overall a really cool guy
haha he's wirey as **** though
when we went to Tampa to dyno my boys blown lt1 t/a he was all over the place
we literally did 16 pulls on the dyno from 1pm-1145pm and if it were me I woulda got tired of ****** with the car but he just kept on kepping on then did a cammed ls1 z28 after we left
another thing i liked is after he tuned it on the dyno he takes his laptop and gets in your car to tweek it for road driving for ya
very professional
haha damn i'm starting to sound like a commercial for the guy

yea i'm doing the same
really we shoulda tuned it after every mod but who the hell can afford that
and i'm too impatient to wait and do it all at once
i've got headers and a y coming up and i'm ready for a tune some suspension work and a better clutch and flywheel
if you end up comin up this way hit me up i might be going to get tuned soon
i'm just north of Ft Myers

I think the first time is more then any time after that so I really dont wanna hang him out to dry on prices
I"d guess 375 for dyno and about 200 or so for the tune
haha unless you are like my bud and needed 10 hours then i'm sure it goes up way up
he also does tb ports and intake ports so if you're interested he does good work
