Yeah, most places around here charge around $500 for dyno tune, but seems like its well worth the money.

you probably know this already, but in case you don't, you shouldn't spend money on a tune with minor mods(read: your mods in your sig). And if you plan on getting bigger mods you should at least get a baseline first which is usually around $60 for 3 pulls.

I see you are frm Illinois. Speed Inc charges ~$450 for NA cars. Mine was $350 since I already spent $100 on the "basic tune" when my converter went in. They treat it as an upgrade.

We charge $500 for most cars. Some cars with big cams and throttle bodies require a lot of time and I may charge a little more.
I spend alot of time on fuel trims and general driveability before the car ever sees the dyno. This is very important in a street driven car. Who wants a dyno queen that makes the big number but is miserable to drive? I take pride in taking whatever time is necessary to optimise driveability as well as power output.

( And yes, I am an LS1 Tech Supporting Tuner. Just haven't got my banner up yet. )
