Not sure what machine work you need done, but the shop that is part of the Baxters in Delta park does good work for cheap. It's a small shop though, so they're a little slower than others.

$450 -$500 is a fairly standard price for a dyno tune and I have never seen it take 4 hours
Usually 45 minutes once its strapped down and it's good to go. ( the rest the time is spent BS'ing)
I think if shops would just say it's a flat rate it would alleviate questions. Your paying for their experience and talent to tune your car and you accept it for that. Most of the time the tuner has files from a previous car that is close to your setup and it takes them 15 minutes at most to tweak it.

Hey guys I am looking into some headers for my LS1 swap into my 95 Z28.
I am thinking about Texas speed 1 7/8" long tube headers into a straight exhaust.
What do you guys think about the straight exhaust system? Or just no cats but glass packs/muffler?
And i have been reading up on the straight exhaust and people sayin the back pressure will make you lose hp and all that. But other sites sayin the hp loss is not significant and you get low rpm torque?
Thanks guys

As for taking four hours to tune a car, kinda depends what all is being done. If all the customer wants is topend tuning at WOT, then yes, 45 minutes to an hour on a dyno would do it. The problem is that most people want it to idle nice and drive great at 5mph in a parking lot, and that is where the extra 3 hours is spent. Tuning WOT is pretty basic, tuning for good drivability is an art form.

Tuning is complicated, I've got HPT pro, and I usually end up cussing the laptop out more times than not, lol. After I get the blower on, it's going to Wong, simply because his experience will bring everything out of that thing it has, important with 6 pistons.
Hey Mike, got a question for you. We've got our old 351c block that lost a rod last season sitting on a stand, lucky us it came out the pan. But we're looking at over boring it and putting some sleeves in it for a backup engine (worst damage is a heavily scored cylinder). Just to get a feeling of it, how much did it cost you to sleeve the block? Different engines, but I'm curious.
