if i could afford 500 bucks for a dynotune, i'd give it a shot.. but i bought my own tuning software and a wideband instead... 500 bucks for a SD tune is ridiculous, especially since they're easier than a MAF tune. I don't get it...

My car is tuned great with an inexpensive wideband, i'm happy with it and i learned alot. AFR stays steady and no surging, either. A dyno tune would be nice, its not worth it when I can spend the same amount of money and do it myself.

you still havent proven to me how a speed density tune is easier then a maf tune, you are happy with your tune, that is great! more power to you..
but some people dont want to tune there cars, or dont know how, and want someone to do it for them, that is where i step in, i feel my tuning rates are pretty competitive. you also have to remember i have a dyno, and shop as overhead that i need to pay for, this isnt like i am working out of my garage.
so please take your useless statements elsewhere, thank you.

I know that YOU know that you have to put the MAF in fail mode, and tune the TABLES (speed density) VE tables before you re-enable the MAF and tune it seperately.. Why charge $100+ more then? I would have loved to get a dynotune for the same price as everyone else, but for $500, no way. I do not intend to bash your business or your shop at all, from what i've seen, all the customers that walk (drive) away are content with the services you provide, and I think it's awesome that you guys specialize in LS1 stuff. I just don't want to get ripped off. And with something like a tune where all that is involved is time and equipment, no physical parts, that seems excessive. I'll leave this thread alone, best of luck..

I had the same additude...but taking my car to Ryne is the best thing I've done for my car in a long time......Ryne is a great tuner and has the tools that I don't. Having the software just wasn't enough for me. I thought my car was running good, but damn it ran great leaving his shop...If you are so confident in your tunning abilities, I am sure that Ryne will rent you out some DYNO time at a fair price....Maybe you can squeeze out some extra ponies and drivabilty.

i charge extra, because takes more time and knowledge to get it right....... that is what i charge, and if you look into it, it is a very competitive rate... i am sorry you think it is a rip off, but you think there is no equipment involved? hmmmmm....... what about my $50,000 dollar dyno, and my 1400 dollars worth of industrial fans, and 500 dollars worth of high quality wideband 02 sensors, not to mention my tuning software, hours/days or studying these computers. but i guess that doesnt count as equipment, and isnt worth the 500 dollars

that would be awesome to have someone to show me the tricks of the trade, and a dyno is an incredible tuning tool.. i'll look into it once I replace my radiator and fix power steering leaks. I dont pretend to be a good tuner, i just am more willing to spend the time and effort than hard earned money for something i can't see. I paid less than 500 for the six speed tranny AND the pcm/tune/harness that's in my car right now. Like i said, not trying to bash on anyone, just can't justify paying so much money for something like that

I am completely aware of all overhead costs, the shop I work at has a motorcycle dynojet/wideband/fans, etc. I did not infer that there was no equipment, I meant there are no consumables, other than a minor licensing fee, i'm sure. You dont have to order XXX parts to tune a car. You pull it up, strap it down, plug it in, and probe the exhaust. I'm no idiot. And the price of the equipment doesnt look so huge when it's paid off in 105 tuning sessions.

There is a WHOLE lot more to tuning a car properly than afr tuning. A whole lot. Believe me, I know what goes into it, my buddy has HP tuners, and we've done alot of studying up, as well as tuning his H/C car.

But if your happy with it, then good, more power to you. But there's really no need to come in here telling people its a rip-off
