[QUOTE="decipha, post: 16727185, member: 74327"] OP- if they are jacking up the price that much due to a simple pulley swap then that means they arent really tuning it. Some shops load value files for near stock setups and let it roll, it makes what it makes and they dont actually tune it. Do not use that shop. For reference we charge between 550 and 650 for boosted full custom dyno tunes and include revisions for any issues you have at no extra charge. If you modify it and bring it back we do it on a case by case basis but its usually between $125 to $300 depending on how much was changed i.e. how long its going to take to dial in. I do online/remote tunes for $450 and include free lifetime updates. In fact just this morning I sent a guy a free update from a tune I did for him back in 2008 as he just swapped cams. As far as anything pre 2011 most tuners dont want to hassle with them since they do not have factory widebands to correct fueling for them. Any 2010 and older ford thats not heavily boosted as in lets say 15 lbs and under can be dialed in remotely without a wideband although its not advisable. I do several hundred 2v 3v and 4v eec-iv and eec-v / powerpc a year and never any problems. The more tuners that steer them away the more we get. As far as software, any shop that uses hptuners exclusively isnt going to touch anything that old as hpt doesnt support it fully/correctly. Best bet for anything 2004 and older is to get a tuner that uses a quarterhorse and tunerpro. You can buy the quarterhorse direct from moates for $250. Tunerpro the custom tuning software is free. The older ecus are extremely simple to tune with the right tools. Nightride- If you picked up 70rwhp with a dyno tune over a remote tune then your remote tuner was an idiot. The 2011+ cars do not require a dyno unless you do head or cam modifications. As far as driveability is concerned an online/remote tune is going to have as near as stock driveability as possible as the tuner is not limited to a single day and time to dial everything in. Cold starts and actual street manners cannot be dialed in any other way other than when actually driving it on the street rather than simulating it on a dyno. [/QUOTE]
