Default $100 dyno tune?

Does this seem <too> cheap to anyone else?

Anybody have any experiences with Real Performance Motorsports in the past few months by chance?

RPM has been around for a while, do a search.

And yes, $100 is CHEAP. Did they quote you this price?

yea $400 sounds much better, but i remember for SURE that he said retunes are *free*, and threw in something like not having to mess with maps n stuff....so i dunno what you guys heard about for a retune

I would imagine what he said, was that it is $400 and retunes are free, you just pay for the dyno time on the retune...
