I keep hearing tuning is around 300-500. My car has a diablochip and unfortunately the tuners around here use sct xcal. I was given an estimation of 900 by a shop and thats usually a small guess when it comes to cars, but thats a lot i think if everyone else is getting charged around 500. Any suggestions
Tuning this expensive?

What is your combo?
Depends on your setup and how long it takes to dial in. That is s good bit though. Could always get a used unlocked SCT unit, ( like I have listed in classifieds cough cough) though and get the SCT tube... Typical dyno tunes will vary from area to area plus dependent on what type setup but usually $400 to $500

Previous owner* i just bought this car
I paid $500 for a dyno tune on my bolt on 99 Cobra. This also included a sct handheld tuner in the deal. The guy I go to charges a flat rate of $500 for a tune and handheld.
Another guy charges me 600. Theyre both reputable so i think il go with the 600 for now
I paid $500 for the tune and SCT tuner. Car is an eaton swapped 01 cobra. That price of $900 is ridiculous. I wouldn't go there. $600 seems high, but its more reasonable. See what each shop charges for dyno time per hour and how much they charge for a tuner. You may be able to buy the tuner cheaper on your own.

I see your from MA too. Where did you take your car to get tuned? I have been going to Performance Dyno and I'm very pleased with the results.
$900 here in PA is a ludicrous price for a tune.
I paid $350 (stock engine though).

Well, i was first being charged 475 for a complete tune and because i needed an sct he gave me "rough estimate" of 900. Its my first time tuning and they are some of the best tuners here in Vegas but man!.. Il take my chances with Carl
That is the only place I go. There is no one else around worth going to.
