[QUOTE="ARMEDSVT, post: 16726836, member: 21396"] Hey fellas, I ask this question because I called a local very well known tuner/ shop in my neck of the woods and I asked them how much it would be to tune my car. I was shocked by their answer, they said about $800 bucks. They originally said $500 bucks which I was cool with. Then I called back a month later to schedule a date, they asked if it was stock or if I had any mods. I told them that the only engine mods that I have are a CAI and a cat-back exhaust but that I was going to upgrade the upper pulley to a 2.81. They said that the tune with a stock pulley was $500 bucks and that if I wanted a custom tune with the 2.81 it would be $800. Maybe I’m not understanding but why would the price jump another $300 bucks with a different pulley? Isn’t it essentially the same process regardless of pulley size? I asked them if it was more because they’re changing the upper pulley and they said no, that changing the pulley was an additional charge. They said it was more expensive because it’s a custom tune. It doesn’t make sense to me. What’s the average price of a tune? A few years back I remember it running around 400-500 bucks. Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
