Cost for a Tune
I tried searching the forums and couldn't find anything related to this, but for those of you that have had any vehicles tuned at a shop how much did it cost? I'm looking to have my Camaro tuned up so I want to make sure I don't get stiffed.

Here at Horsepower Addicts, tuning will cost 450-650+ depending on mods. Tuning cost does vary widely by area.

I paid $370 for my remote tune from DynoSteve and that gets me free tune updates for life...

The lowest quote I got was for $550. Seems about right for the prices everyone mentioned on here.

Theres different levels of tuning.
Do you want it run on the dyno, or just doing some mild tweeking to the stock system? If you've just done a major engine overhaul, upgraded your cam and heads, or swapped to a completely different set up, your tune will be more complicated and cost more. If you're running mostly stock and just want better performance you can buy a hand held tuner, or have some mild tuning from a shop and it wont be as expensive. Like someone else said, $500 is pretty average for a dyno tune. If you're running a racing engine expect to pay more. |

Speaking of tunes...in a bar the other nite and the piano player had a pet monkey roaming around collecting tips. A guy orders a beer and the monkey walks over and places his balls in the guys beer. He hollers at the pianist...Hey....You know your monkeys soaking his nuts in my beer...The pianist says....No....hum a few bars and I'll see if I can pick it up
