Money worth it??

Does anyone think the $600 would be worth a dyno tune from buschur?? ($300hr...takes about 2 hours...i think) How many extra horses you think i could squeeze out rather than just sticking with the flash i got from them after the parts were installed??

No way would I pay 600 for a Flash tune. Thats Ludicris man I wouldnt even pay 600 for a Full AEM tune.

They are probably super busy and highballed you to make it worth wild for them. PM 4WheelSlide he'll have your car pulling like a freight train for 150 (I think thats what he gets). All done remotely no expensive dyno time. All you need is a wideband, Evoscan, and ECUFlash.

Yikes

Its not $600 for a re-tune. Its $375, you have mis-understood. It costs about $600 for an AEM tune with 2 maps from Buschur. If you are getting re-flashed it is $375!

Yea, the $300 an hour is for a stand-alone computer. Yours is a set-price. And YES IT IS WORTH IT! Buschur is the best in the business and you will not be dissapointed. I am about ready to trailor my car up there in a little over a week to have the AEM EMS wired in, and then a tune on 93 and 93+Alky.

Yeah, it's a bit confusing, but it's not that expensive!

Thats sounds right. $375 for a flash is cheap!

4WS will do a good job for you, I am tuned by him. if you dont have the means to do it remotely then you have to choose another route though...

WOW. i was gonna say $600 is too much for a reflash, until i saw that you were doing the AEM w/ 2 maps. that's well worth the money!!!!! and peace of mind when u leave there knowing you can push ur motor without worrying if it's gonna blow.

Yea, I was going to get tuned on the stock ecu, but Buschur said he would not tune the stock ecu with the snow meth kit. So I switched to an AEM EMS and SMC Meth kit and now I am finsihing all my new set-up, and then its off to Buschur in the next week or so. Yea $600 is very respectable for a 93 and 93+alky tune!

And no one is better than the guys are Buschur!

You said it! That's a bit too much for me.

At first I thought it was $600 for a reflash.
