Im looking to get at tune done on my Bullitt, and the local speed shops near me are JDM, Laraccas, and Crazy Horse. Ive already talked to laraccas, and they qouted me $600 for a chip and tune. I then talked to JDM, and they suggested the Super Chip Tuner, and a custom tune file burned onto. They quoted the cost at $429 for the tuner, and $300 for the dyno runs and burn/programing. Their other option is a single program chip for $300, and again $300 for the burn.
JDMs point it seemed was that the SCT is a good idea, as it can be unplugged and removed if the car needs to be serviced, or if something goes wrong with the engine, and it needs to be worked on at ford. Meanwhile thats not the case with the chip. So, is the cost of $729 reasonable? (Superchip tuner and the dyno/tuning) I will be getting 4.10's installed as well, and the gear change will have to be adjusted for with the tune.
Laracca quoted me at $500 for the gear install (i believe that was including the cost of the gears themselves). Meanwhile JDM quoted me at 400 for the install plus fluids, if i brought my own gears. Is JDM trying to pull a quick one on me? Whats a resonable price for a gear install with the cost of the gear included. (meaning out the door price)
Im thinking i might be heading to larraacs for both a gear install and a chip burn. Anyone have any opinion of them? good or bad?
Any help is appreciated.
