if your like me you'll go to someone really qualified and pay $1000 fot a 3 hour session and 30 extra horses ...dont do as i do...i might've been able to get similar results from a mail order tune for a fraction of what i paid.

It depends on your mods. Some extreme setups are harder to tune.

Anything more than $300 - $350 for a dyno tune is high IMO. I payed $300 for the dyno tune on my T/A after my heads / cam install (took about 2 hours of dyno time).

You think anything more than $300-$350 for a dyno tune is alot. I payed $500 for a p.o.s street tune.
