My untuned H/C/I car runs like an animal after 4 grand but under normal acceleration at around 2 to 3 grand it sputters and misses pretty bad. Is this normal? How much does it cost to get it tuned? Mods are in sig.

i'd figure between $500 and $600 for a tune with an SCT chip burned, that seems to be the going rate for a chip/tune/minimum three pulls

mine cost around $600, but then again this is NY, not Mcdonough, GA

WELL worth every single penny though

Is it normal for it to run like this?

Big cam for that motor, isn't it? Do you have a stroker? What compression pistons?

While I wouldn't expect it to miss, I wouldn't expect much down low. What mass air are you using?
