Dyno Tune price

06-07-2006, 04:35 PM

Hey....

What should you expect to pay for a custom dyno tune? got a place that told me 480. that is more than the tuner cost.

thoughts?

I got a custom tune done for $300....that was a tune he loaded directly to my ECU and not a hand held tuner.

miles per hour quoted me 180$ thats with using the xcal that I bought.

Pro-Dyno, Rob came down and i bought the SCT chip and he tuned it right there in the drive way for free, just had to pay 250 for the chip, but next friday when i go get it dyno/tuned, it will be 250 for that, so 500 for the package. But it was awesome that he tuned it right there, it took an hour, did some second gear runs to see what was going on with the car. those guys are awesome!!!

My dyno guy charges $100 hr for the dyno and he does the tuning to boot.

MattJ · 06-07-2006, 06:06 PM

Ive seen anywhere from 80 an hour to 600 including sct xcal 2 and 3 hours dynotime.

My buddy just paid 600 for his sct xcal 2 and tuning for 3 hours directly by SCT and made 405/397 for a race tune on our ****ty pump gas we have here on an 80 degree day.

Mile Hi Charges +/- 500 including the Diablosport Tuner w/ AF...

Badfish · 06-07-2006, 10:15 PM

You don't need to buy one, but for right around $500 they include a tuner and a dyno tune w/ AF... at least that's what they told me...

He already has one, that's why I said that

figure 1.5hrs dyno time (at whatever rate your tuner charges for dyno time) plus 300 bucks for the chip or 400 for a handheld. My tuner usually charges 400 bucks for the works with a chip tune.

I oughtta give em a call. since i already have the tuner hopefully it wont be so pricey.

Side louvers? you got any pics of yer ride up?

03DSG · 06-08-2006, 01:56 PM

one question, when you get a tune with a hand held do they leave it with you? since its locked your car do you get to keep the tuner? i've never gone to a dyno place so i have no clue how all this crap works....

r3dn3ck · 06-08-2006, 01:59 PM

yep.. you own it in most cases. If they try to tune it with a handheld and don't give it to you, tell them to blow you and put a chip in cuz there's no handheld that's as flexible as a chip.

that is cause the chip is thin and less rigid, while the handheld is thick and reenforced.

ta du du duh!

that was really really phunny. giggle.

how's this (holds up fig newton): I'm going to turn this cookie into a car.

Audience goes hush in anticipation.

(holds fig newton close to his face) see, that's a near fig newton. (throws it at the audience) and now it's a farfignewton hehehehe

Badfish · 06-09-2006, 06:38 PM

chris....mile high dyno charges 100 bucks for a tune (assuming you have a Predator) plus dyno time. I think it's like 50 bucks for three runs. So you could get outta there only paying 150 bucks.

I dont really see the point if you dont have a power adder...esoecially since you already have the Predator
