Ummmmmmm, I called some place and it said that I should tune my car after the Long Tube Headers Install because there is nothing to tune ? I told him the car would be running rich and he didnt seem to care, said it doesnt matter and I'll only be wasting my money...

How much did these other places charge you guys? I got a price from Strictly a $300 for the dyno and 150 an hour for the tuning per hour, said it can take 1-2 hours, so Im looking at $600 bucks, max. Not bad. Any other places?

Good thing about Strictly is you can go back for a retune however many times you need to, and all they charge you for is dyno time after the first initial fee. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I could do the tune for 150 bucks if socalstreetracer wants to lend me his hp tunner cable. Otherwise I like haddad motorsports. I went over to their shop and they are some good knowledgable guys. Tuning for long tubes will make a difference, and it is a really easy tune. I could knock it out in an hour easy.
