i love prices from local tuners
Trey, Turbo cars are hard to quote a firm price. There are a lot of issues. One of the biggest has to do with heat. You have to let them cool when you start to apply load. Our base price to tune a turbo car is $1200. Our hourly rate is $150 for the dyno and $250 for the tuner. If it takes only 2 hours then then base rate of $1200 will apply. I assume that you are running unleaded pump gas. This rate is for tuning services only. Many times we have to work on fuel system, ignition systems and even change plugs. These things are not tuning and additional costs could apply. Thanks ---- |
I'm in the wrong business.
A mustang only runs 32k new. Halfsies? |

this is the same scenario I heard at the local firestone shop when they told a woman it was going to be over $400 to get her new battery installed. Preying on the uneducated (or who they think is uneducated). |
Good lord, around here you can rent the Dyno for a day cheaper than that.

Wow, an ls1 shop here only wanted 400 to tune the FI GTO, for 1k they'd tune and install a cam and valve springs.

jeezus, if changing plugs is a big deal, I can't imagine they could figure out how to tune a car. :ugh:

I went to a tuner shop nearby when I was looking for a turbo. I asked them how much it would cost to fab up intercooler piping, they told me 700 bucks.

yeah, I'm going to pay this douchebag $90 to change sparkplugs.
sounds fair, cause they'd probably have to listen to you debate brands/heat ranges/gaps for about 3 hours before they could do the work. |

A long time ago I needed some body work done on the Miata. One of the shops listed $50 in the estimate for "roof removal".
THEY WANTED $50 TO UNLATCH THE HARDTOP! They didn't get my business.. |
Hustler,Who is the tuner? and what's the name of the shop?

Sounds right to me. How long do you think it takes? How did you want the pipes routed? I know I will spend over 10 hours doing all mine, with removing & reinstalling the bumper & fenders (I go thru the fenders), obviously cutting,trimming, welding all the pipes, bead rolling, adding BOV & IAC ports (install pipe, mark location, remove, drill holes, fishmouth the pipes, tack, reinstall to check fitment, remove, weld, reinstall...), bung for IAT sensor...

$400/hr for tuning? WOW.
MOM (for people who fell out of their chairs when they saw the price quote) |
