Default HPE still doing $250 dyno tune???

Is HPE still doing the tunes for $250??? If not then could anyone reccomend a shop that is local to the Houston area that will tune for close to the same price and do a geat job?

thanks,
Chris

Say what? I was there a few weeks ago and they did not look like a shop that was going out of buisiness.

There are a few shops doing good tunes in Houston. Most are around $400.00 I think Chuck had said all the slots were taken for the special. Mike at G-Force tuned my car and It rock and rolls. Talk to some shops and see who fits what you need. I tyhink there are some individuals on her that tune and are pretty good at it maybe they will PM you. Good Luck.

Without turning this into another Houston shop pissing match, call around and ask what the price of the tune gets you. I know some shops used to (and maybe still do) offer lifetime re-tunes. If you plan on continued mods, $400-500 for a lifetime of re-tunes is NOT a bad deal.

Nope, we're not closing. Just relocating to Perry Road and 1960. The tuning special has been over for awhile though Haha, sorry! I did 3-4 tunes a day including weekends for almost 4 weeks after posting up that special! Give us a call though and we'll get you taken care of.
