400 dollars for hp tuners
120 bucks for a wide band
100+ dyno time
plus countless hours learning software and learning how to tune

paying a very good tuner 400 bucks to have my car done in an hour tops and making more power.....i will let the math speak for itself.

^^^^ **** gets old though when you mod a lot, if you can learn how to tune good it will pay itself off over time everytime you add something.

i agree with this. I'd love to learn how to tune and practice on an underpowered beater or something.

Not only would you be able to tune your own car after each mod, but you could make some serious $$$ if you get good at it by tuning for others.

that is why I, atleast do everything i want to my car at once. granted my best friend is one of the greatest tuners and doesn't charge me. I would still not have him tune my car 14 times just so i can have a part put on when i get it.

i will agree that if you learn how, you can pay off in the long run. Hell i have seen 5-6 shitty tuners in this area and people still want them to tune there cars. Yet they get mad when you have less mods and more power and beat them.

tuning is like art, anybody can do it, only few will be remembered throughout time
