i paid $50 for a base flash, but you won't find people doing that anywhere anymore.



does the 450 include dyno time.

i have heard of people paying 100 bucks a pull and i think it takes three pulls sometimes they do an hourly charge to so that might be a little high

I met some guys that told me about DTM Motors, said it's like $300-350, but if you go during event days, it's half off.

paying for pulls, is different from paying for a dyno tune

they wont tune your car when you pay for the pulls, they just run it 3 times on the dyno and send you on your way

dyno tune, they will keep running the car until its where they want it to be tune-wise....

but to answer the OP question, YES $450 is high for a dyno tune

$150 for a street tune or $300 for a dyno tune. Don't get tuned at AMS-MD - go to Brad Brooks at ISP in Beltsville.

mid $200's for a base street tune, then usually half that price for a re-tune
high $300-$400's for a dyno tune

I just had mine tuned by Nick at DTM a month or so ago and was pleased with the results. 350.00 for a full tune w/dyno (mustang dyno). Minor mods/weather realted retune-free lifetime. I think it's like 150.00 for a retune of a bigger toy (turbo, etc.)
ISP is another good one to check out, no idea of their prices though.

You can pm me for details if you like.
We are running a special of $275 until until the new year for all evom and dcevoclub members. That includes free retunes for a lifetime. The only time you pay again will be for a larger turbo which will require time for injector scaling and such.

I think that's a lot on the high side. I got mine done at DTM. Nick knows.
