alex he charges $250 (for me, it might be different for u) frank will know within 1 second whats wrong with ur car (No exaggeration). Turn around time is superb and they are great guys to absorb knowledge or just to talk bs.

My car posted 352hp for bolt-ons and his tune, they know their ****. Seriously just take it there, it might be just the tune.

btw also, get rid of the msd wires and go ac delco wires or vengeance wires. That noise you hear could be anything, could be a bent valve, bent/broken pushrod, wornout springs ect.

Tune isnt going to help if you have mechanical or electrical issues. What do the plugs look like? They white colored? Black? Verify all the spark plug wires are connected and there are no other mechanical or electrical issues before going to the dyno.

No i said $250 for a tune, not for diagnostics. Just give them a call, or bring it in, they shouldnt charge to take a look at it, they normally charge to preform work. Like I said, he'll know within like 10 seconds whats wrong, then go from there. Take my advice alex you won't be disappointed, pm me if u need any help.

And to be quite honest $100-150 to just look at/diagnose your car is a rip off.
