IMO, I have seen people do them for 200 and others charge up to 500 for a rear gear change. Just depends who and where you go man. 300 is about right though.

a guy up in MI did it for 550 but he had a garuentee not to break so 250-350 is fair i would say. I did mine myself pretty much with floor jacks and its a pain if you can get it on a lift you can do it in maybe 4 -6 hrs.. make sure you have all the parts! I replaced the axle bearings and seals too. clean your tubes out too

Man really not to bring u down by no means...but had mine dynoed year half ago there. Mine put down 430/425 with mods in sig. Only I had tds dumped befor the axel. Ok on that note I have changed to a slp catback and ypipe, and put a ported tb on. I went to get my car REtuned at mikes motorsports to lean it out. Mike did an awsome job. And my final numbers were 408/395 I think of top my head that was a FULL tune. So ii say that guys dyno reads WAY high. Another ocurance is I have a buddie with a stock srt. R it put down over 300 hp and 325 tq no it not right most my friends here in town have high hp neons and they say there not abel to handle that much on stock set up computer would pull to much back. So beileve wat u want again I'm not knocking ur numbers by no means just sayin take it to another tuner for some pulls and u may be disapointed....

However, I have seen a couple of cars that have came out of there with INFLATED Dyno Numbers and run **** poor at the track. I'm not gonna throw the guys' info out there, But it is what it is. & I'm Not knocking the guy. BC I know he is VERY knowledge-able and is a good guy to have on your side, But I'm just saying from first hand experience I have seen a couple cars that didn't run what they should have ran with the dyno #'s they Produce! And Traction was not a limiting factor, BC They have Hooked just as good as me if not better. 1.6x 60's and better! So thats not the issue!
Just my .02... But I have heard from Many people he has a HAPPY Dyno!
EITHER WAY, Just get it to a track and see what it runs. I would love to see how well it does with a Very Street Friendly (small) cam like the one you have in there.
If you can get it into the mid 11's at 12x mph with limited traction, I'd believe it's making the power.
Either way, It's gonna be a blast to drive I bet!
Glad you are happy with it too BTW!
Post some pics and videos of it if you will. I'd love to see some!

I'm not saying you do not a 500 whp car. I'm just sayin that some people get high dyno numbers from Ron. If you are happy, That is all that matters honestly. WE CAN BENCH RACE ALL DAY ABOUT HOW FAST YOUR CAR IS OR HOW FAST IT SHOULD BE> But in the end it's your car and as long as you are happy who cares. Hell My car is probably a 500whp car and it has been beaten, and it's gone low 11's and high 10's once! I don't make it to the track but a few times a year myself. My car is a street car. Not a Race car.
But I appologize if I came off wrong, But I was just backing up what Travis was saying. With every tuner your gonna hear good and bad. It's part of it. Is Ron a good guy, does he do good work, is he smart, etc. etc. etc... YES! IMO!
But to each their own. Just remember dyno numbers do not mean everything, It's how the car performs that matters.

2000ws6transam: I feel you there man. I am loyal to my tuners as well. And when someone goes beyond what you would expect from a tuner, It gets to the point where you should back him 100%.
I have not met him Personally, although I have friends who SWEAR by him. And that's their oppinion. Hell from what I have heard, I know he is talented and he has never even touched my car. Would I consider him for tuning my car. Yes! But it's too far of a drive for me, when I have a Very talented guy to tune my car thats only 15 minutes away! Mike Norris MotorSports.
Chad at GLM did the tune thats on my car now, and he is out of the game, or I would be going back to him. He did an AMAZING job on my car last year! And he even kept it for a week to make sure it was correct!
George, Thanks Man!
Hope you get the Bike Back together and hope you can make it to the southside sometime soon bro! It's always nice hanging out with the guys'
Take Care and I will see you sometime this summer.
BTW, Alex came to the meet Saturday. He surprised the $hit outta me. I'm glad to see he's still hanging around.

I wish I had the 9 inch. I'd compete. But Muncie is too far to push my camaro back home if it breaks. lol
