Unhappy Dyno shop can't tune?

So I walk into my local dyno engine speed shop place of fast cars thingy. and I ask the guy how much it costs to dyno and tune my car. He said 75bucks for half an hr. I have to provide the stuff for them to be able to tune it though. What should I purchase?
Also I asked them about porting and polishing the heads. They said they could for 200 bucks..but if they are iron heads they can't. Then he went into a big long spill that really confused me. I just nodded and pretended to understand. All I want is for my motor to be built slightly without buying other bolt ons.(Throttle body,plenum,high flow cats,etc) Any suggestions on what to do?

well 1st-off you need to find another shop as this one sounds like a Ripp-Off shop....second, your heads are aluminum and a quality port n' polish, if done correctly is a minium of $500.00 and can go up depending on what else is done and after a port n' polish, you'll have a valve job done, which is a must and another $200.00 on top of the $500.00..... you need to find another shop as any shop that tunes and then tells you to bring your own equiptment is not a shop that I'd feel safe wth.....since your in NC, try Rick @ www.AmazonRacing.com

OK thanks man. I didn't know my car had aluminum heads already though. Yeah they sound kinda iffy. He kept pushing me to use Nitrous. 350hp of NOS was safe according to him. W/E.

That douche told you 350 hp was safe, and after you blown the engine apart he'll say, wow, that's strange, I've never had a problem with it. Then he'll try to sell you a new engine that's guaranteed to handle it. See a pattern? Make sure you use a reputable mustang shop, you want someone who knows mustangs, does good work, and stands behind it.

Yeah I now think I'll try that amazon racing shop. 250 bucks for a dyno and tune is pretty good priced. What area of S.C. are you in? I live about an hour from Spartanburg. If you know of any good dyno's near there.
