Re: Dyno tunes are so worth it

A little over $320 after taxes, etc. That includes a single tune file, the baseline dyno run, testing and a final dyno run or two to verify results. I supplied the handheld tuner to write the files to the car. If I had to get one for the tune it would have been over $650-$700

That being said, I am running a naturally aspirated car with very mild modifications. Once you start adding things like forced induction, modified cams, etc the difficulty increases dramatically, and the cost will reflect that.

That's the truth. I spent damn near as much dyno tuning my Cobra as I did on the supercharger (used kit). I sure miss that car. IIRC I was getting 450HP and 500lb/ft. Had a few other mods as well.

Just kidding - did you have the intake from the Explorer that was pretty much better than every other intake for the 5.0L pushrod engine?
