they both said 600 bucks, that just seems like a lot to me
i thought it would be more around 300-400 bucks.
maybe its just me, and i need to be not so cheap, but 600 bucks is a lot of money for somebody to tune your car.
i might wait untill i get a cam or something before i decide to get a tune

$500-$600 is "normal" for those who require a shop to dyno tune their car.
Figure about $75-$100/hr for the dyno time. In the case of 'stangs, a chip/programmer
is included in that price as well.
I don't trust many people (ok...anyone) with my car except for my tuner, but I'm sure
some local guys who aren't shop-affiliated can tune your car for you.

well after i do the exhaust, i mainly want to codes deleted and the air/fuel ratio to e adjusted because everyone tells me after i put full exhaust on it throws off the air/fuel ratio.
whenever i decide to get a heads and cam package, i wouldnt mind spending 600 on a good tune, but just for a bolt on car that seems simple to tune, 600 bucks seems like quite a bit
oh ya, im in southeastern michigan

$500 and some change for the first tune. Look for a tuner that offers lower pricing after the initial $500 fee on your 1st tune. It's worth it as you mod your car down the road.

Both are good and both are sponsors. Livernois is about 8 minutes
from Allen Park, but it will cost around what the others charge.

ouch! if i had to give 500 $ for a tune it would have only took me one time before i went ahead and got hp tuners or efi live.especially if they charge yoy that much and don't get you spot on in driveability also.just because it don't spark knock on the dyno dosen't mean it will be right on the street and if i had to shell out 500-600 bucks if it wasn't almost perfect i would be pissed.that is just my $ .02 but it sounds like the people having to spend that much needs to go ahead and get hp or efi and self tune.
