$500 for a dyno tune In SA.... 
i was looking for some dyno time and maybe a tune too. So I called this place in SA said 100 for 3 pulls. Then when I asked for a tune he said hold on while I check. Comes back on says 500, I'm like ha ha......im not as stupid as you sound buddy, uhh thanx but no thanx.... For that price I might as well get htuners and just tune it myself. Some people have some nerve. Is this what everyone pays for a dyno tune??????? That is the price I was quoted by a sponsor that is in Dallas. If they can can make a big cam idle well and get a few extra HP it is well worth. I'm sure there is a big difference between a dyno tune from someone who knows what they are doing than a home or mail order tune.
Why do you want to get your car dyno tuned? From your mods you really dont need it. Your not gonna pick up more than 8-10 hp AT THE MOST throw some H/C in there then consider a tune.
eliminate some things.. and change some simple settings... and excuse me if i offended anyone who would risk tryin to tune their own car with hptuner or ls1 edit... I learned mostly everything I know bout the LS1 on this site and I would feel confident tunning my own car with help from felow ls1tech members. live and learn ... and whats so bad bout experimenting with software....read, read, read some more and use the search button.....500 bucks yea rite nice if u can 
that afford it

well my local ls1edit tuner said it can take between 4-6 hours to fully tune a car depending on mods and condition of car...etc....
he got almost 30rwhp from a stock C5....285 to 325? somthing around there.....
if you have the mods to take advantage of it thats great....
hey some guys spend more than that on stupid ****...ground effects, lenses, decals, MAF, gauges, interior crap, pedals, stereo!, etc.....
at least with a good tune you know your car is running right...and youll gain 10-30hp depending on mods! its a smart thing to do....

well concidering you spent around 400-500 on your current PERFORMANCE MODS! and probly only gained 10-15 rwhp
why is it so CRAZY to spend 400-500 on a good tune to fix your AFR and **** like that and gain 10-15 rwhp?
or like ?? said you can buy and unlimited edition of LS1 edit for 10K then a dyno for ?? 5K or so and just master the program ....then just start a buisness of your own! ?
after my H/C install ill be paying 400-500 for a good tune and probly gain 10-20 hp.....money well spent!
once again flammers to the rescue,,,i luv this post...I guess since you already spent the money you have to defend it and justify any which way you can , it hurts if you dont huh baby...........omg you all are so amussing......!!!

Why is it funny? I have no sense of humor. Indulge me.
You come, post as to how much of a cheap *** you are, then you accuse others of being asses for paying their hard earned money for a tune? Go away already.
