Question Is $795.00 a lot for dyno tune??

I got quoted for base line pulls, chip, tune, cold starts and drivability tune for $795.00.

It sounds like its everything..he said like 2 days. Its Blue Oval Performance, the Vancouver, WA branch.

It sounds like it might be a little high and just want to get your guys imput.

Thanks.

Although I'm not too familiar with your generation mustang, those prices for one of the newer models would be reasonable. Assuming of course he included a tuner with the tune file on it (not sure if he has a tuner for that year). I've seen Dyno runs cost around $400 where I live, Atl, GA.

It's not outrageous, usually for our model it's around $500-$600 (the reason why I haven't gotten one myself yet). But remember where I'm at: the east coast. From what I've heard, you guys on the west coast pay more for the same thing here.

Ok.

So....I have the same thread on ModdedMustangs *I know I know, going to the dark side...literally with their site *

and I've had a lot more hits, one guy claims if I get 24#er and a 1993 cobra MAF and with "HIS" chip it'll get my tuned without the cost of the dyno. Guaranteed! Now I know know if this will work or not. I want your guys opinion on it.

Check it the thread....

Ha thats what I thought, I do realize 30#ers are too much for just a HCI motor..now if I get 24's, would I just get a 24# sampling tube {like $20.00?} and mount it, I don't have to change the sensor on the MAF, do I?

cause I need to get this thing tuned, I know the A/F is way off.

My tuner charges $300 + dyno time/$65 hr for that (and is one of the best), so you could almost drive to Tampa for the difference...yeah, it's high

spdjnky_42 when you're saying "tuner" are you saying a machine or a person {tech} ??

i wouldnt get a tune from that guy that says he'll do it for 179$. but he is right about the c&l meter probably being your problem.

you could get some 24# injectors, a cobra MAF meter, and a cobra ECM and it will already be programmed for the injectors. it would be cheaper than getting that dyno tune and be right on.

i have 24# injectors, stock MAF, and A9P computer with no tune whatsoever and my A/F ratio is on the money (according to my spark plugs and gas mileage.)

Well on my drive home I'm going to try what I understand "clocking" the MAF to be. see pictures.

first pic is 12 o'clock

Anyone try this before?
