I'm finishing up my vortech install, and am looking for a place with a dyno. I've called Blood, sounded pretty reasonable to hook it up w/monitoring the air/fuel, but when I asked how much to tune, I was quoted around 1100-1200. That just seems kinda pricey, before I moved up here, most dyno tuning I looked up in Texas was around 500-700. Is tuning your car on the dyno really run around 1100-1200 here?? Any recommendations besides Blood.

Thanks

Wow. I know you are from further up north, and I am not sure how far you are willing to travel, but I can GUARANTEE you will get better prices a lil south of make-you-pay-with-Blood Enterprises. Give Chung a call here in Vancouver (360) 993-1745

Blood Ent. is a rip-off. They sound like a bunch of goons, judging from the horror stories I have heard. If you call Chungbung at Blue Oval, he will probably take you nearbye to Wong's Performance Engineering to perform the tuning. Wong has a mustang dyno, so it should be done right. The price that Blood quoted you is more expensive than what you would pay in L.A. for a base tune!

Thanks, I'll see how far those other places are. Originally, they said 75 for 2 pulls, just measuring air/fuel. That seemed about right, but the 1100-1200 to tune was just to much.

Dang, that seems kinda steep....

...lets see, like 100-150hr for the dyno and say another 75hr for the guy helping do the tune... they must be planning on an alllll day tune. I would have thought like 6-700 would be more reasonable.

Guess rates are higher than I thought....

Thats the going rate for a custom tuned chip around here. Carb Conn in Kirkland will most likely tell you the same price.

I guess its just in the northern area, I called Blue Oval in Vancover, they quoted me 600.00 for the tune w/everything. I guess I'm gonna have to go a little south to get a deal, but they are kind of far, like 3 hours away.

Hi Guys
I bought my SCT Xcalibrator 2 flash tuner from Bill at Bills Custom Auto & Truck in Marysville 360-653 7284. Then I had the Dyno run up in Bellingham at Meridian Performance Services 360-398 2353. They were very help full and only charged me $75 although we had a couple cars go from Bill's.

FAST Specialties in Vancouver all the way. They were able to pull 308 rwhp on a mustang dyno out of my 96 cobra. I was able to get the x-cal2 and about 2 hrs of dyno time for 500. Give them a call, you won't regret it.

lol just get AEM and read the book on it and never have to worry about spending money to tune it again. It's so easy I hear. Thats what I'm getting.

My vote is for Carb Connection in Kirkland... I've gone there a couple times now... and they're really easy to get along with... you don't have to be a complete gear head to get things accomplished there, which is nice for some of us plus, they've let me do a top speed run (like driving the 1/4 mile, but 5th is included too), which is really nice to get a feel for your car overall, plus unclog those exhaust pipes w/ high-speed gases
