Default Fair price to tweak my tune for 150 jet?

Am considering upping the Jet size from a 100 to a 150 due to an upcoming grudge match against a local rival.

If I go to my previous tuner (guy who tuned it last time), what would be a fair price to tweak my tune. All he would have to do is pull some timing right????

If it were me, Id like to get a wideband scan and make sure your fueling is good on the new shot and have it pull more timing. 50-100 bucks, the rest of your tune should stay the same.

How easy is this on a scale of 1-10? I haven't really messed with tuning too much.

Just make sure your jetting is right and it only takes about a minute to pull timing. Hell you could have him save your current tune for 100 shot and setup your timing for the 150 and save it for a 150 pill tune. All hed have to do is fire up the laptop and flash the pcm

There shouldn't be much difference in a 100 and a 150 hit in the tune. If he has some of the logs from your previous tune, he should be able to change the file without your car and flash it for a small fee.
