How much for tuning?

Slowhawk or anyone lse who has had their car tuned, how much does it cost? I'm looking to get my car tuned and have the PCM flashed to get rid of all the TM and what not. What's the usual rate?

Figure on spending $350.00 ~ $550.00........depending on if your bolton's or a heads/cam car...supercharger/turbo cars generally run a little more .

Is Kevin (NoGo) still available? I may have to have a retune and would like Kevin to do it. Way back Guy did mine and I think it would have been a little better if Kevin did it

Well what I want to know is, when doing a tune, you'll be taking out the TM right? My car is stock and I would like to get rid of the factory settings. Is a tune even worth it for me then?

TM is the first thing we get rid of.I'm guessing it's a A4.There is alot to be had just with the tranny tuning.

Yeah, unfortunately it is an A4 (should've gotten the 6-speed). Yeah I was thinking by getting rid of the TM it would open up my car a bit more. Now can all this be done on the dyno day, or is this something I'd have to go in for spearately?
